‘We have top officers, but their hands are tied’: Is Lithuania adapting to modern warfare?

The article discusses Lithuania's military adaptation to modern warfare, focusing on the debate between investing in traditional tanks versus more advanced technologies like drones. Experts compare current challenges to historical conflicts such as the First World War, where outdated doctrines failed to adapt to new technologies. Valerii Zaluzhnyi and Artūras Plokšto highlight how past military failures occurred due to resistance to change, while Lithuanian volunteers report that despite improvements, the military still lacks effective strategies against drone threats. The piece emphasizes concerns over slow doctrinal updates and the disconnect between training exercises and real-world combat scenarios.

Bias read (Center): While the article presents concerns about Lithuania's military readiness and references expert opinions, it does not take a clear ideological stance. It frames the issue as a strategic and technical challenge rather than a partisan debate. The emphasis is on historical parallels and practical issues
