ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to discuss offset versus off-the-shelf options for arms procurement in Lithuania between 2014 and 2022, including the acquisition of the Boxer infantry fighting vehicle. Content, quantitative, and qualitative comparative analyses are used to interpret accessible data. Lithuania, as an off-the-shelf buyer, achieved a median price for the Boxer in a short-term perspective, while countries/manufacturers or technology-acceptors gained economic advantages and beneficial prices. Upcoming arms procurements in Lithuania could anticipate and even shape the position of the government toward offset implementation in arms acquisition.

武器采购中的抵消与现货供应：以立陶宛的拳击手步兵战车为例

摘要

本文的目的是讨论 2014 年至 2022 年间立陶宛武器采购的抵消与现成选项，包括购买拳击手步兵战车。内容、定量和定性比较分析用于解释可访问数据。立陶宛作为现货买家，在短期内实现了 Boxer 的中位数价格，而国家/制造商或技术接受者则获得了经济优势和优惠价格。立陶宛即将进行的武器采购可能会预测甚至塑造政府在武器采购中抵消实施的立场。
