Lithuania Receives German Spike LR2 Missiles for Vilkas Vehicles
The Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence announced the delivery of Spike LR2 anti-tank guided missiles, valued at over €3 million, to the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Supplied by the German company EuroSpike GmbH, the missiles are intended for the Vilkas (Wolf) infantry fighting vehicles, which are a Lithuanian variant of the Boxer armored personnel carrier equipped with an Israeli-made Rafael Samson MKII turret. The Spike LR2 missiles offer an increased range of 5.5 km (up from 4 km for the LR version) and greater lethality, designed to target armored vehicles, buildings, fortifications, and bunkers.
