📋 Tender Overview
A Technical Agreement Was Signed In Helsinki Between The Six Countries Participating In The Cv90 Mkiv Nordic Infantry Fighting Vehicle Acquisition Program. This Document Marks Another Important Stage In The Joint Multinational Acquisition Process, In Which Lithuania Participates Together With Finland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia And The Netherlands. The Document, Signed By The Defense Resources Agency, Establishes Specific Principles Of Cooperation, Technical Requirements And A Coordinated Action Plan Until The Signing Of The Main Contract, Which Is Planned For 2026. At The Beginning We Continue To Work Very Intensively To Ensure The Fastest Possible Implementation Of The Project And The Most Uniform Configuration Of Infantry Fighting Vehicles For All Partners. This Is An Excellent Example Of How Close Cooperation Of Regional Partners Allows Us To Achieve Good And Quick Results. The Delivery Of The Cv90 To Lithuania And Other Countries Is Planned From 2028, Says Minister Of National Defense Robertas Kaunas. The Cv90 Mkiv Nordic Program Is Notable Not Only For Its Scale, But Also For Its Pace. From The National Acquisition Decisions Made In 2024 At The End Of The Year, A Little More Than A Year Will Pass Until The Planned Contract Is Signed, Which Is An Extremely Short Time In This Type Of Multinational Defense Projects. The Technical Agreement Shows That The Project Is Moving Forward At A Fast And Coordinated Pace. Lithuania, Together With Its Partners, Strives For Infantry Fighting Vehicles To Reach Our Soldiers As Soon As Possible, And For All Participating Countries To Receive A Unified, Mutually Compatible Technical Platform That Meets Their Needs. The Cv90 Mkiv Is The Latest Version Of The Swedish Manufacturer Bae Systems Hagglunds Infantry Fighting Vehicle, Featuring A Higher Level Of Protection, More Advanced Control And Weapon Systems, And The Ability To Integrate Various National Technologies. This Project Gives Lithuania And Other Program Participants The Opportunity Not Only To Modernize Their Land Forces, But Also To Strengthen Mutual Interoperability And Industrial Cooperation, Thus Contributing To The Strengthening Of The Defense Capabilities Of The Northern European Region. The Cv90 Platform Is Successfully Used By Many Nato And European Countries, And Its Reliability Has Been Confirmed By Real Combat Operations, Including In Ukraine.
