U.S. Army tanks return to Lithuania months after pullout
US Army tanks have returned to Lithuania months after a previous pullout, restoring armoured presence on NATO's northeastern flank. The redeployment addresses a capability gap that had drawn attention from Baltic allies concerned about the continuity of US ground force commitments in the region. The return of heavy armour to Lithuania reinforces the Alliance's forward posture against potential Russian aggression and signals a reassertion of US commitment to collective defence on the eastern flank.
