Lithuania readying to repair Spartan transport warplane

The Defence Ministry told BNS that the new propeller would cost nearly 554,000 euros (excluding VAT), while other repairs should add another 140,000 euros.

“As the propeller was damaged and could not be repaired, a decision was taken to replace it,” the ministry said in a response to BNS.
