Lithuania is attracting foreign defense companies by streamlining
regulations for establishing ammunition production facilities. Recent
legal amendments categorize large-scale defense projects as "pressing
national security needs," enabling these firms to bypass lengthy
permitting processes. Rheinmetall has commenced construction on a
155mm artillery ammunition plant in Baisogala, set to operate in
mid-2026, which will supply the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Northrop
Grumman is also involved, planning to produce 30mm ammunition in
Vilnius under a recent cooperation agreement. Interest from additional
companies, including a Ukrainian firm looking to establish an
explosives plant, reflects a broader push for defense collaboration
between Ukraine and Lithuania. The partnership aims to enhance
regional security by developing capabilities ranging from drones to
naval systems, addressing the urgent need for weapons and ammunition.
