The Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence (MND) on 6 January announced the delivery of ten four-wheel drive BRP Can-Am Outlander all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to the National Defence Volunteer Force.

It comprises the acquisition of ground vehicles under the Vilkas programme in addition to the purchase of small arms equipment for dismounted soldiers.
