Lithuania in Talks with Rheinmetall for Propellant Production Facility | APT - video Dailymotion

APT

Lithuania is in discussions with German defense company Rheinmetall to establish a propellant production facility in the country. The proposed facility would strengthen Lithuania’s domestic defense manufacturing capabilities and support broader European security initiatives.  Officials say the plant could supply propellant for both military and civilian purposes, helping Lithuania reduce reliance on foreign imports and enhance readiness amid regional security concerns. The talks come as NATO allies continue to bolster defense infrastructure in response to heightened tensions in Eastern Europe.  The agreement, if finalized, is expected to create jobs, transfer technical expertise, and integrate Lithuania more closely into European defense production networks. Defense analysts note that expanding domestic production capacity could be a strategic move for Lithuania, given the ongoing geopolitical situation in the region.
