Lithuania Seeks Defense Investments From Lockheed Martin

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabriel Landsbergis met with Lockheed Martin executives to discuss strategic collaboration and potential investments in Lithuania’s defense sector. The discussions centered on reinforcing Lithuania’s defense capabilities through advanced systems, including the HIMARS rocket launcher family and F-16 fighter aircraft. Officials described the talks as a step toward expanding domestic manufacturing, maintenance, and repair capacity for military equipment, aiming to create a self-reinforcing defense industry that can support allied security objectives in the Baltic region. The remarks came from the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and were framed as part of a broader effort to attract responsible, high-technology investment that aligns with Lithuania’s long-term security goals.
