It is not known how many launchers will be passed to us, but Lithuania has 42 Panzermörser M113 in its arms. They were handed over to the Lithuanians by Germany in 2005-2006. In 2013, Lithuania ordered their modernization from the Israeli company Elbit. New versions with a digital control system and updated fire correction equipment entered service in 2015.
