Lithuania intends to purchase Javelin anti-tank systems from the USA

Lithuania continues to make all possible attempts to bring the level of spending by the Ministry of Defense to "NATO" 2%. In addition to restoring military conscription on an ongoing basis (the relevant document was signed by the President of the country Dalia Grybauskaite), the Lithuanian authorities allocate funds for the purchase of anti-tank complexes for the Lithuanian army. We are talking about complexes "Javelin", which, by the way, continue to dream in Ukraine.

Information about the readiness to acquire American anti-tank complexes publishes news agency TASS:

To provide the army with medium-range anti-tank weapons in accordance with the amended intergovernmental agreement between our countries, signed in 2001 and updated in 2014, the Javelin missile systems will be additionally purchased in the United States.

According to the initial data, official Vilnius is allocated from the state budget for the purchase of American weapons about 8 million dollars. Considering the fact that the cost of one shot to complexes of this type is several tens of thousands of dollars, the Javelinov service to the Lithuanian taxpayer will result in a pretty penny. If in Lithuania, of course, these complexes are going to be exploited ...

It is not specified how much specifically anti-tank complexes Vilnius intends to purchase, and whether it will be new complexes, and not pretty second-hand.

An equally urgent question is whether the Javelins acquired by Lithuania will not be in the hands of Ukrainian security officials in the Donbas?

Do they have specialists in Lithuania, or will an American soldier be allocated to each complex?

one "bullet" for 75 bucks pulls

by 200
75k is the internal price for the US Army, given preferences and subsidies.
For comparison, the new BMP costs about 300k

Therefore, I strongly doubt that these toys will first go to Ukraine, secondly they will go to the troops, and thirdly that they will be shot.
If Ukraine had the money for such weapons and a disciplined army with honest officials, to ensure the supply and use of such weapons ... well, that would not be Ukraine.

[g1v2]

The funny thing is that the Kurds have been shining for some time. And obviously they were not buying them for 200 thousand. But Ukrainians only dream of them.

There will be militiamen outbid, a day later in Moscow they will unscrew them for bolts)) Georgians won the Hamers and our demolished them (military trophies). So apparently amers their bitter honey agaric does not teach anything))

one tank is several million dollars

Compared to a tank priced at 7, a million dollars is very cheap.

[the finish]

Shot 75 plus 200 complex.

Russia is being provoked to annex the Baltic states. The goal is to sever all ties with the EU firmly. On small, but proud people, as always, shit on everyone. Soon, and "missile defense" will begin to stick there, from the nuclear missiles of the Congo or the Papuses fighting for independence. I'm afraid then with the Baltic states will actually happen ... The uprising of the Russian-speaking population, for example.

Yes, the Lithuanians and nafig do not need them. These "Spears" - "Javelins" will go through Lithuania to Donbass. And most likely to some Bantustan, and from there straight to ISIS. Or maybe immediately to them.
Only one thing is not clear to me. Is it really that the Lithuanians really did not have any national self-identity, and just human dignity once they allow themselves to be used as a laundry and a drain hole for all kinds of junk?
Yes, Javelin is a wonderful, wonderful rocket. Much better than Dragon. Powerful, accurate. But outdated. Whatever they say, even Fire & Forget with a 64x64 IR matrix is ​​not the same. At dawn, and especially at dusk, the efficiency of the IR seeker changes to approximately the "nothing" level. And this very F&F also means - shot? Forget your ammunition. After the shot, you can't do anything.
Of course, you can carry a lot of argon cans with you. But this is not much "over 9000" either. An additional consumable for every 4 minutes of the battle. Or for 10 seconds, the shooter brakes before firing to cool the seeker.
When the missile was being designed, there were no radar stations on the tanks that could detect incoming ammunition. And now there is. And maybe such a tank radar just shoot a heat trap. Why not? The cost of a heat trap is like a New Year's Eve, and the cost of a racket is two hundred thousand dead American presidents. Therefore, then this passive IR GOS was what we needed. For defense. For this "Spear" was designed. But the Americans themselves want to use it not in defense, but in the offensive. And not against old Soviet tanks, but against new ones. For example, those on which "Afghanit" stands.
So the Pentagon logistics started to think - and where to put Javelins? Who needs them? So they found themselves "buyers", organized a ts. sales market.

Just business, nothing personal.

[aszzz888]

will the Javelins acquired by Lithuania end up in the hands of the Ukrainian security officials in Donbass?

This is how to give a drink! Ukrokakly sleep and see the javelas at home!
Hands to beat both Lithuanians and Bandera!

And where does the rogue Bandera get that kind of money? Smells like a multichannel CIA, Javelins in transit through Lithuania end up in the Donbass. As in their time, through Pakistan, "Stingers" ended up with spirits in Afghanistan.

It smacks of a CIA multi-way, Javelins in transit through Lithuania find themselves in Donbass. As in their time, through Pakistan, "Stingers" ended up at the spirits in Afghanistan.

Buyers didn’t buy, but borrow for the rest of their lives, they also found buyers! the Americans are great in this regard, you have borrowed money, but you will buy from us and only what we say, they have all Europe and half the world in such bondage.

[dchegrinec]

The automobile bridge on the shoulder is this an anti-tank complex? And where are the tanks near Lithuania? Or, as always, the fight against delirium tremens.

We will wait for the opening of the line of the military trade "Lithuania-Ruina". And then the "APU-militia".

There will now be so many Americans to be based that they will somehow teach. Moreover, there will be a call on an ongoing basis, young people will be trained in the basics. Again, in the presence of the American contingent of natives there is absolutely no need to admit to complex equipment. Lithuania will purchase weapons, and the occupying forces will be the operators. Everyone will be calmer, there will be no need to beat the Papuans.

[Evil 55]

Javelin is a good and necessary thing for Lithuania ... to suppress Baltic sprat ..

[iliitchitch]

That's blah blah. Shop on the couch. You won't have time to shoot, the Buryats will take away the matches so that they don't play around. Is that why no one will defeat us? And because we all "isms" - communisms - capitalisms have tried, and we go forward, that your Danko, only we will not pull out our heart, we need to be more rational. They defame us from impotence.

[VNP1958PVN]

[edeligor]

I am amazed at our American "partners". To sell weapons to the European aborigines for special operations for mad grandmother and all this under the sauce of "wild" Russians dreaming of enslaving and destroying the Sodomian crap. Well, if they are so afraid of us, they should know that the tanks are entering the territory preliminarily treated by artillery. What kind of javelins when there will be a lot of rubble from Vilnius? Lord Eurosodomites, learn military science in the real way, sometimes RPG-7 is much more effective than super-duper javelins.

Why do they need anti-tank systems? Do they seriously believe that Russia is going to take them in tanks? Money down the drain.

To scare Russia, to create the illusion of US concern about the security of Europe. Nothing more. Just a hybrid war.

[Skubudu]

Syria has shown that modern ATGMs are changing the course of events not in favor of tankers unfortunately.
There should not be a capricious mood about the Javelins Spikes - they say dear, etc. Almost all of Europe is armed with these ATGMs. I'm not talking about the TOU, who also do their job.
Since our main ground forces are tanks, these tanks need protection from the Javelins, Spikes, and TOUs. We have so far only Afghanistan on the T-14, which is not a fact that it works, but how to protect thousands of T-72, T-80 and T-90?
It should be so bought 1 tank and bought 1 KAZ to it.

[Vadim237]

Dynamic protection Contact 5 and KAZ Shtora - this is all that our army can counter modern ATGM.

[volodya]

Well, they were ordered, they buy. Where will it go!

[vetor]

Sales managers in quiet envy.
Soon, sprats will also be imported from the USA. And what is also the right product.
Indeed, no one perceives a serious threat as protection.

Lithuania intends to purchase Javelin anti-tank systems from the USA

Yes Yes! Already as many as TWO.

[Ros 56]

In my opinion, we have already discussed this topic recently. Yes, let them buy, just what they will do with them is a big question. And so help striped materially, a normal phenomenon. Well, maybe some kind of Abrams will be beaten up at the exercises, they’ll look in action, so to speak.

[Slon1978]

8 million dollars, well, let's count :)) One launcher costs about 125 thousand dollars, one rocket 90-100 thousand dollars. In total, if the complexes are new, then we can assume the purchase of 20 launchers + 3 missiles for each launcher. The scale is about this. Sternly, you can’t say anything - even a grenade platoon.

[ia-ai00]

With a bare bottom, but to keep the "nose down the wind", you need to buy these trinkets ...

And against whose tanks they want to use them. If against the Russian, then while they awake aiming, Lithuania will no longer be. That's the problem. Porcines pancake.

[russmensch]

Well, for amers, the return on anti-Russian hysteria also went. Business, business and nothing but business.

[BOB044]

In addition to restoring military draft on an ongoing basis (the corresponding document was signed by President Dalia Grybauskaite)

And the population has something to undergo the call on an ongoing basis, Dule Grebuskaite. They taught her at school schools of the USSR and remained so stupid.

[Professor]

It is not specified how much specifically anti-tank complexes Vilnius intends to purchase, and whether it will be new complexes, and not pretty second-hand.

How does this author imagine? Used one-time complexes?

[Eastern wind]

One-time say?

Javelin Block 1

Combat weight: 22,3 kg
Maximum effective range: 2500 m
Minimum effective range: 150 m when using the attack mode from above; 65 m when using straight attack mode
Calculation: 1-3 people.
Alert Time: Less than 30 with
Recharge time: less than 20 with

One-time say?

It is one-time. Only the M98A1 command-launch unit can be reapplied.

A missile in a transport and launch container consists of a sealed transport and launch container of a cylindrical shape, a power supply and cooling unit, and the rocket itself is a one-time one.

[Eastern wind]

That is, after a wild number of exercises and the use of these PBC in combat conditions, they are in perfect condition? And there is no slag written off, after checking which the flaw detector goes mad?

It is very simple. There are 2 options: working and not working. Everything written off and defective is not working and the troops are not supplied. Everything that is delivered to the troops is in perfect condition. The price of the PBC M98A1 $ 126000 (2002). By the way, the PBC itself is very popular among the troops as a NVD. In warehouses it does not stale.

The subject of the dispute, given the corruption of the former Soviet republics and the practice of the West, which has long been using the countries of Eastern Europe as a septic tank for its equipment.

Well, maybe put a few pieces as they say for testing. For a few pieces it is thought that money will be found even to the detriment of oneself. But how much talk will be about the readiness to contain the Russian armored armada. Poor Baltic. Under the USSR, she skated like cheese in oil, and now she has begun to resemble a train bum surviving from handouts.

Divide 8 million by 200 thousand = 40 PU-not a lot! But how do you prepare the rifle operators? Just once to fire, and there is nothing more to disband the unit, there is nothing else to shoot! But, I think it's a pitchfork on the water, since Lithuania is switching to recruiting the army " on the call "- it is necessary to harvest the cereal fraction-sixteen, kerzachi and x \ b. There will not be enough money for more!

[Pitot]

Matches for children is not a toy ....

[wow]

Do not forget to cut the flies on the javelins to the brave Labus, because when they (Javelins) are pushed into the Labus anal opening, it will be very painful ....

[koralvit]

Strange question, at the end of the article, that's what they buy for this. Does Dalia Grybauskaite really hope to stop Russian tanks with "javelins", but no, of course, he just wants to help his friend Potroshenko. The United States will not sell him directly. They are afraid.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

The Javelins and Spikes are a serious threat to our tanks ... We need real protection from them, and not neighing, will Lithuania have enough money for them or not ... Not enough NATO ki will give them that ... I think it’s a viable solution where KAZ of the tank shoots shrapnel towards the approaching projectile ... Here, the projectile damage is very high and the infantry located next to the tank will not be affected by this shrapnel ...
Well, the handicraft option is to cook on top and around the tank dynamic protection from a metal tape or corner to cover everything with a camouflage net "Cape" or do it yourself according to the principle of the "Leshy" suit ... This will help hide the tank from the IR homing heads of these complexes, and the grid will destroy or weaken the effect of the cumulative jet of these ammunition ...

[Lt. Air Force stock]

And we still won't make a domestic version, for a long time there was information about the Autonomy ATGM, a competitor to Javelin, but it never went beyond rumors.

[Vadim237]

Wow, we are already losing ground in modern anti-tank systems - especially air-based ones.

[Voenoboz]

Fuck a goat button accordion.

[matros lom]

Lithuania, like Ukraine, believes that if they only buy Javelin complexes, then all their problems will be solved immediately: they will be respected in the world, and people will immediately regain confidence in the government, and the economy will recover, and most importantly, Russia will begin to fear them.
