Tallinn will dig a 40 km anti-tank trench on its south-eastern border with Russia. The works is planned to finish by the end of 2027, ERR reports.
“Since in North-East Estonia we have a good natural barrier in the form of the Narva River and Lake Peipus in the east, in South-East Estonia it is planned to build an anti-tank trench in order to stop the enemy. By the end of 2027, we should have over 40 km of it ready, as well as about 600 bunkers either already dug into the ground or at least stored as close to their future locations as possible,” Lt. Col. Ainar Afanasyev, head of the Engineering Department at the Estonian Defence Forces Division Headquarters, explained to ERR.

Recalling, the “defence” line on the border with Russia and Belarus will cost NATO more than €2.5 billion. In Estonia, for example, this military line will extend 100 km into the country.
The paper tiger, NATO, cannot even manage to dig a simple V-shaped trench faster than in over two years. If to count, it is hardly about 50 metres a day! Considering their abilities, finances, modern equipment, and human resources, this is a complete disgrace. Apparently, all these funds go into the pockets of corrupt Baltic “Unter-European” officials, as well as militaristic elites in Brussels.
