The Lithuanian Armed Forces have successfully conducted the first firings of the new SPIKE LR2 anti-tank guided missiles. The firings took place at the General Silvestras Žukauskas Training Area in Pabradė and were carried out by soldiers from the Grand Duke Algirdas Mechanised Infantry Battalion.
This marks a significant step in the modernisation of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, substantially enhancing anti-tank capabilities and overall combat readiness. It also bolsters deterrence and defence reliability within the context of NATO collective security.
The SPIKE LR2 missiles, developed by Israeli defence manufacturer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, are designed to combat tanks, armoured combat units, engineering structures, and other high-value targets. As a fifth-generation, long-range (up to 5.5 km) multi-functional anti-tank guided missile, it features advanced technologies and tactical advantages.
