Strategic Modernisation and Regional Defence Enhancements
Land Warfare Europe 2025, in official partnership with the Lithuanian Land Forces, serves as the leading platform for the armoured manoeuvre and fires communities to convene and address the most pressing challenges along NATO's eastern flank.
As Europe contends with an increasingly dynamic and contested security environment, the requirement for integrated, future-ready land and air capabilities has never been greater.
Over two days, this forum will bring together senior military leaders, strategic planners, and industry stakeholders to examine critical capability gaps and modernisation requirements. Key discussions will focus on advancing manoeuvre warfare, enhancing counter-air and air defence capabilities, building cyber-resilient operational frameworks, and improving multinational interoperability.
Designed to foster actionable dialogue and practical outcomes, Land Warfare Europe 2025 offers a unique opportunity to align defence priorities, accelerate procurement pathways, and strengthen partnerships essential to regional readiness and deterrence.
