The emergence of a new JLTV batch in Lithuania once again demonstrates close cooperation between Lithuanian and American armed forces," said Laurinas Kashchuas, Minister of Defense of the country. According to him, these armored vehicles will become platforms for nearby air defense systems, which will further enhance the defense capability. JLTV, produced by the US company Oshkosh Defense, distinguishes a high level of crew protection and advanced field characteristics.
The ATV was designed to improve the efficiency of intelligence and artillery operations, as well as for aviation. Vehicles are considered an important asset for the Lithuanian Armed Forces, which began to buy them in 2019 under an agreement with the US Government. The first stage of supply of military machines ended in 2023, then Vilnius received them in the amount of 200 cars. The second is currently underway.
The production of another 300 machines is provided, and the total number should reach 500 pieces. By 2027, these ATVs will install new nearby air defense systems, which will further strengthen the country's security. Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) is an armored omnivorous all -generation, designed to replace Humvee in the US Army. They are released by Oshkosh Defense.
The machine is equipped with a strong wheelbase capable of withstanding the enemy's explosions and fire, and provides a high level of crew protection. A high-performance independent TAK-4I ™ suspension allows you to adapt to different types of terrain. Recall that the United States built the first 5th generation fighter for Poland, which was called "winged Hussar".
