Simonyte told reporters after the signing ceremony that the project “will create clear value for Lithuania and for our region as a whole.” Lithuania, which borders Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave to the west and Belarus to the east, remains the largest buyer of U.S. arms among the three Baltic states with more than 1.3 billion euro worth of acquisitions in the near future, according to the Defense Ministry. Northrop Grumman is a leading producer of 30mm ammunition.

The government in Vilnius in June signed an agreement with Rheinmetall, the German arms manufacturer, to build a 155mm mortar shell plant in Lithuania. The 180 million euros project is expected to create more than 150 jobs and produce tens of thousands of rounds annually.
