In Estonia, Himars systems have been tested: Putin has already reacted

Extend: The first shots from Himars volley fire systems were made on the Estonian Island of Saaremaa after four months of training. They reached the whole size of the bucket at a distance of 15 km, which were in the sea. In this way, Estonia, which now, in addition to artillery, has rocket troops, enhances its own defense in the light of growing threats from the Russian Federation, ERR reports. Lieutenant Colonel Rauno Witman gave a high praise to teaching them a "historical event".

"Our reservists were shot, and we coped with all the problems and excitement that arose during the first shot," Vitman said. In the Kremlin, the training, which took place on July 1, did not go unnoticed. Already on Monday, July 14, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov exploded. "Baltika, thanks to the aggressive policies of the coastal states of Europe, is a region where tensions reign. Russia intends to firmly defend its legitimate interests in the region.

In April, it became known that the Baltic countries - Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia - hastily strengthen their oriental borders, planning to build about 1000 concrete bunkers, trenches, anti -tank ditches and ammunition. However, a 10-year-old defense promotion can be implemented too late, according to officials in the region, who fear that a peace agreement in Ukraine can quickly attract Moscow's attention to the most vulnerable part of the Eastern Flang.

In addition, Poland and the Baltic countries intend to replace borders with the Russian Federation and Belarus as part of the Eastern Shield. It is launched in May 2024 and provides for the creation of a defense infrastructure along the 700-kilometer border with Belarus and Russia. The project budget is estimated at 10 billion zlotys (about $ 2. 5 billion), and the completion of works is scheduled for 2028.
