Details: The report indicates that the combat vehicles will be sent back to the battlefield once their technical capability is restored.

It is noted that this type of real-world exercise allows the Lithuanian army to train and maintain the readiness of its personnel, as well as verify logistics chains and provide uninterrupted support to Ukraine.

Earlier, Vilnius repaired and brought back PzH2000 self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine, whereas a group of 18 Ukrainian Armed Forces mechanics were trained by Lithuanian howitzer repair specialists, as these artillery pieces are losing their technical characteristics due to intensive use, and the ability to repair them in combat is crucial.
