Air defence is deliberately stitched into the JLTV story. Kaunas noted that, because air defence remains a top priority, part of the purchased vehicles are RBS70 NG short-range air defence system-capable. The ministry repeats the same point in its technical description, presenting compatibility with the RBS70 NG as an embedded feature of the fleet rather than a separate add-on, indicating that at least a portion of Lithuania’s JLTVs are intended to move and support short-range air defence teams as a mobile element of the force.
