NATO Ally Plans 600 Bunkers to Stop Russian Invasion in the ‘First Hour’
On NATO’s borders with Russia, front-line states are already preparing for the next war with Moscow.
In January, the defense ministers of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia agreed to a new plan to build an extensive network of fortifications intended to deter and defeat the kind of Russian incursion long feared in northeastern Europe.
Given their country’s 210 miles of border with Russia—much of it considered near-impassable thanks to extensive forests and wetlands—Estonian officials said the government is planning some 600 bunkers they hope will prevent a hypothetical invasion and occupation by Moscow.
“The war in Ukraine has shown that taking back already conquered territories is extremely difficult and comes at great cost of human lives, time and material resources,” Susan Lilleväli, the undersecretary for defense readiness at the Estonian Defense Ministry, said.
