The Estonian Center for Defense Investments (ECDI) and Latvia’s Ministry of Defense have launched a public procurement for the bunkers. The total cost is estimated at \u20ac60 million, with about \u20ac30 million allocated for this year, ECDI spokesperson Krismar Rosin said.<\/p>\n
Elements for the first 28 bunkers have already arrived,\u00a0nine of which have been installed in Southeastern Estonia<\/a>. The ECDI plans to continue installation of the bunkers in both the southeast and northeast.<\/p>\n “The first Baltic Defense Line bunkers have been delivered, and installation is proceeding gradually in Southeastern and Northeastern Estonia,” ECDI deputy director Asko Kivinuk said.<\/p>\n “The experience gained gives us the confidence to move forward with the larger-scale procurement,” he added.<\/p>\n Estonia has also deployed all acquired barriers to pre-deployment areas and is continuing work on the defense line’s\u00a0anti-tank ditches<\/a>. The ECDI aims to complete the Baltic Defense Line at its currently planned scale by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n The initiative is designed to halt a potential military attack right at the eastern borders of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
