A repair workshop for the Vilkas (Wolf) infantry fighting vehicles and other military transport equipment has been completed in Lithuania’s Rukla, the Defence Ministry said on Monday.
“We pay great attention to the development of infrastructure for the maintenance and storage of newly acquired weapons and military equipment,” Defence Minister Arvydas Anušauskas was quoted as saying in the statement.
“We are very pleased that the construction of the workshop for the Vilkas IFVs has been completed on time and we can ensure the quality operation of this advanced equipment,” he added.
Signed last spring, the design and construction contract for the workshop, worth around 12 million euros, was implemented by Jungtiniai Projektai. The workshop is designed to accommodate nearly 100 specialists.
Lithuania is investing around 10 percent of its total defence budget into the development of military infrastructure.
