Lithuania’s chief of defense, Lt. Gen. Valdemaras Rupšys, said the country will buy up to 54 tanks for its military.

“We are proposing to transform one mechanized infantry battalion into a tank battalion,” Rupšys said, as quoted by local broadcaster TV3.

The defense chief said that relevant recommendations had been submitted to the government. Lithuania plans to create a division-sized unit within its armed forces to operate infantry fighting vehicles and tanks, among others.
