Is not a defense line: why Baltic countries build fortifications on the border with the Russian Federation

Former Defense Head of Estonia Martin Graham says that the Baltic countries should have weapons to destroy 70% of Russian invasion forces on the first day. But if the fights reach Tallinn streets, they are ready for a guerrilla struggle. Baltic countries do not need to go far into the past to remember life under Russian occupation. Therefore, states are actively preparing for protection against the Russian Federation. About 600 bins and advanced positions are created for this purpose.

Breaking Defense explains why Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia defensive fortifications on the border with Russia. In early May, former General, Chief of Defense of Estonia Martin Gerrem outlined his vision of the project of constructing fortifications on the border with the Russian Federation. He dispelled some misconceptions that everything would be a line of defense. "Politically sounds like:" Let's make a pit, and stop them there, defense for every centimeter and all this.

, so we need all these [ammunition] for a great range "to strike the Kremlin forces, wherever they are governed," - explained Gerrem. . However, it is possible to stop this by showing the Kremlin that on the first day 70% of the forces will be destroyed during the crossing of the border at any distance. , that they crossed the border. " Estonia's offensive will need NATO forces. However, Gaerrem believes that Tallinn's task is to repel the first wave.
