Lithuanian military orders vehicles from Germany

Lithuania placed a $1.2 billion order for military vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, the Lithuanian Defense Ministry announced yesterday. The ministry called the purchase “one of the largest investments” in its logistical capabilities. The Baltic nation will use European Union loans to help fund the purchase, and deliveries are expected between 2026 and 2032. This order is an example of Russia scaring its European neighbors into rapidly arming, with help from Germany. The Bible warned that Russia would propel Europe to rearm.
