Baltic Defence Line

The Baltic Defence Line is planned to consist of anti-mobility defensive installations, such as at least six-hundred bunkers across each individual national border, natural and artificial obstacles, such as forestry and rivers, and anti-tank ditches, along the borders of the three Baltic states. Alongside the defensive installations, the Baltic Defence Line is to also include storage areas, where defensive elements such as dragon's teeth, anti-tank hedgehogs and razor wire are to be kept. == History ==

The Baltic Defence Line was proposed in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and in fears over Russian threats to the Baltic states. The concept of defensive installations was decided at the 2022 NATO Summit in Madrid. == Estonia ==
