According to Lithuanian Defense Minister, the M113 is becoming an important part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Lithuania is making a significant contribution to this.
“Currently, Ukraine has submitted a request for the training of military policemen and demining specialists. The Lithuanian army will also contribute to large-scale training of Ukrainian personnel in the United Kingdom by sending instructors there,” Anusauskas said at a remote meeting of the NATO Support Coordination Group for Ukraine.
The minister reminded that Lithuania has already provided Ukraine with a batch of M113s, portable Stinger anti-aircraft systems, anti-tank equipment, body armor and helmets, 120 mm mortars, small arms, ammunition, thermal imagers, drones, anti-drones, surveillance radars, trucks, SUVs, as well as an attack drone Bayraktar TB2 with ammunition, which was bought with money raised by Lithuanians. In total, Lithuaniaʼs military aid already amounts to $123 million.
