‼️🇷🇺🏁 Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are preparing their borders with Russia and Belarus for a major war scenario, — The Atlantic

▪️Particularly large-scale work is underway in Lithuania: they are restoring swamps and planting forests in border areas to direct enemy forces along narrow, predetermined routes in the event of an attack. Artillery, anti-tank weapons, and UAVs are planned for use in such areas.
▪️A network of infrared cameras and acoustic sensors, modeled on the Ukrainian Sky Fortress system, is planned to be deployed along the border. The resulting information is expected to be transmitted to allies and analyzed using AI. All three Baltic countries have also withdrawn from the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel mines.
▪️Simultaneously, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania ordered American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems with high-precision missiles with a range of approximately 190 miles—more than 300 km. The Atlantic notes that, in the event of a conflict, the plans call for strikes against targets deep within enemy territory: the distance from Tallinn to St. Petersburg roughly corresponds to the maximum range of these missiles.
