Poland finalizing GROM missile defense offer to Lithuania

Poland has simplified conditions for Lithuania’s use of its air defense missile system known as GROM, Defense Minister Juozas Olekas said.

“I am happy that last week we received an answer from the Polish defense minister, offering to purchase the system under simpler conditions so that it could reach Lithuania earlier. Details of the agreement are being finalized,” Olekas’ spokesperson said.

“The system is vital for satisfying the immediate needs of the operations carried by Lithuania’s Armed Forces. The main advantage of the system is that it can be used in small tactical units, which operate separately and away from larger units. In the Lithuanian case, it would be a good instrument for Special Operations and Land Forces units,” said Olekas.
