BRUSSELS (KIDataApp): In response to growing concerns over regional security threats, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have embarked on a groundbreaking initiative to construct a 600-strong bunker defensive line along their borders. Aimed at fortifying NATO’s eastern flank and deterring potential aggression from Russia, the project represents a significant investment in regional defense capabilities.
The ambitious €60 million ($65 million) anti-mobility installation project will see the construction of bunkers designed to withstand artillery strikes and accommodate up to 10 soldiers. These underground structures, reminiscent of Estonia’s traditional “underground cellars,” are expected to provide a robust defense against enemy incursions. Prototypes will be constructed for testing, with the installation process slated to commence in 2025.
In addition to the bunker defensive line, the Baltic nations have also signed a Letter of Intent for the procurement of US-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) equipment.
With NATO’s support, the Baltic nations are prioritizing preparedness and strategic readiness to safeguard their sovereignty and territorial integrity.
