Estonia’s plan for the Baltic Defence Line will unfold in three stages. The first two phases will see the construction of 40 support points and 12 fully equipped storage areas. An additional eight support points will follow. The project draws heavily on NATO’s Madrid Summit declaration from 2022, which redefined regional defence. The Baltic Defence Line will be a combination of obstacles and fortifications spread across the landscape to disrupt enemy advances and allow defence forces to engage on favourable terms.
The Estonian Centre for Defence Investment is already making moves, signing contracts for barrier materials like cutting wire and dragon’s teeth, while prototypes for defensive bunkers are under development.
By pushing for EU support, the Baltic states and Poland are making it clear: safeguarding Europe’s borders against aggression is a shared responsibility that needs more than just local financing.
