🇪🇪 Estonia will build about 150 bunkers on the border with the Russian Federation, including on private land, - ERR
Fortifications will appear in the border region of Ida-Viru County as part of the Baltic defensive line that Estonia is creating together with Latvia and Lithuania.
According to Minister of Defense Mart Helme, 100 bunkers will be located on state land, and about 50 more on municipal and private land. Landowners will be negotiated with on leases, compensation, or purchase of the land.
In total Estonia expects to place up to 600 fortified bunkers by the end of 2027, and to also build anti-tank ditches and prepare concrete obstacles.
Recall that Lithuanian intelligence previously warned that the Russian Federation is increasing its military potential on NATO’s eastern borders, despite losses in Ukraine. At the same time, Estonian intelligence does not expect Russia to attack NATO countries in the coming year.
