The establishment of the Baltic Defense Line in Estonia is planned in three stages.
In the first two stages, 40 support points and 12 storage areas with full infrastructure will be constructed, to be followed by eight additional support points in phase three.
The concept for these defensive structures follows an agreement made at the NATO Summit in Madrid in 2022, which stresses that allies must be defended from the first yard, in line with the new regional defense plans.
The Estonian Centre for Defense Investment (RKIK) has signed contracts for the procurement of barrier materials, and the development process for bunker prototypes is underway.
