U.S. defense company “Mission Essential Group” has established a subsidiary in Lithuania to manufacture, modernize, and maintain armored vehicles while also developing defense technologies such as electronic warfare, counter-drone systems, communications, air defense, remote-control systems, and AI-based solutions. A major focus of the project is the MRAP-type “MiSu” armored vehicle, developed with Finnish partners and already tested in combat conditions in Ukraine. The vehicle is designed for strong mine and ambush protection, mobility, lighter weight, easy maintenance, and adaptability for modern warfare. The company plans to rely heavily on Lithuanian engineers, skilled workers, suppliers, and maintenance capabilities, potentially creating 400–600 high-skilled jobs and helping Lithuania grow into a regional defense manufacturing and technology hub while strengthening NATO’s eastern flank.
