Wednesday, 22 December 2021 (YJC)_ The Pentagon has agreed to a $ 125 million sale of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Lithuania, the Pentagon said.
As US anti-Russian movements intensified in neighboring Russia, Washington agreed to sell $ 125 million worth of new weapons to Lithuania.
Less than a day after the Russian Defense Minister warned about the escalation of NATO movements and military presence on Russia's eastern and western borders, the United States announced its agreement to sell new weapons to one of the Baltic states.
According to Reuters, the Pentagon announced that the US State Department had agreed to a $ 125 million contract to sell Javelin anti-tank missiles to Lithuania.
Under US law, the State Department must approve US arms deals with other countries in order to finalize them, and of course these notifications must be notified to the US Congress.
Reuters linked the ongoing tensions between the United States and NATO members to Russia, citing Washington's plans to sell Javelin missiles to Lithuania.
