Lithuania purchases hundreds of used military vehicles from Netherlands

“The vehicles are used, but in good condition (…) and will definitely heighten the mobility and power of our armed forces. We are satisfied with the price and quality ratio,” he told reporters in Kaunas after inspecting the military equipment delivered from the Netherlands.

Bert van der Lingen, the Dutch ambassador to Lithuania, said, “Today we are provided with yet another honourable example of cooperation between two NATO allies – Lithuania and the Netherlands. (…) Just like Lithuania, the Netherlands is committed to safeguarding of the security of all NATO allies, of course, including our Baltic partners”.
