CNN: Estonia, #Latvia, and #Lithuania signed an agreement to “construct anti-mobility defensive installations” on the borders with Russia and #Belarus that will “deter and, if necessary, defend against military threats” in the coming years, the Estonian Defense Ministry said in a statement Friday. The ministry called it “a carefully considered and thought-out project, the need of which stems from the current security situation.” The concept of defensive installations includes “prevention and field security measures,” such as “a network of #bunkers, support points, and distribution lines.” “#Russia's war in #Ukraine has shown that in addition to equipment, ammunition, and manpower, physical defensive installations on the border are also needed to defend Estonia from the first meter," Hanno Pevkur, Minister of Defense of #Estonia, said, according to the statement. The #defense ministers also signed “a Letter of Intent for HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, aiming to create a framework for the joint use of the weapon system in both peace and wartime,” the statement said.
