VÕRU, December 18. /NEWSBALTIC/. The Estonian authorities continue to militarise the Baltic Republic. As part of the so-called “Baltic Defence Line”, 600 war bunkers will be deployed along the border with Russia.
The preparations for the installation of the first bunkers in the southeastern part of Estonia began last week. Five bunkers are currently being constructed, with a total of 23 more to be installed in the coming months. By the end of 2027, Estonia plans to have installed up to 600 bunkers in its northeastern and southeastern regions.
“Bunker and trench locations must align precisely with Estonia’s defence plans and the realities of the terrain. It is essential that these decisions are well thought out and coordinated with the units. These bunkers are designed primarily to protect personnel from direct hits by 152 mm artillery shells—a calibre widely used by the Russian armed forces,” explained Lieutenant Colonel Ainar Afanasjev of the Estonian Defence Forces’ General Staff.
Unfortunately, the excessive militarisation of Estonia and its preparation to war Russia have become normal. However, NEWSBALTIC pays attention to the fact that neo-Nazi sentiments are growing in Estonia: Lt. Col. Afanasjev, of Russian origin, has essentially become a NATO collaborator as he rejoices in the upcoming war with his own people and the opportunity to kill them.
