Lithuanian purchases Polish GROM MANA

Poland announced the supply of GROM MSC before the full -scale invasion. The complex is capable of affecting the targets within a radius of 5. 5 km. The Lithuanian Procurement Agency has concluded a contract with the Polish company Mesko for the purchase of portable GROM anti-aircraft missile systems for more than 20 million euros. This was reported by Defense 24. Within the framework of the concluded contract, the Lithuanian army will receive the regulated GROM MSC by 2025.

It is noted that Lithuania has already bought Polish MANA. The first purchase was in 2014. The launchers should replenish the air defense of the Lithuanian Small Radius. They will serve in service with the US FIM-92 Stinger MAS and the Swedish RBS-70. GROM MSC weighs 18 kg and is designed to damage the air targets at a distance of 500 to 5500 meters. In the Polish army, complexes have been in service since 1995.

With the beginning of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation, Ukraine was also transferred to GROM MSCs. The exact number of complexes that will receive Lithuania is not called. We will remind, Poland announced the supply of Ukraine to Ukraine GROM, ammunition and UAV. The Moravetsky government made a statement on February 1, 2022, on the eve of a full -scale invasion.
