'Newsweek' reports that NATO's
front-line states that border Russia are
preparing for a potential war with Moscow.
In January, defense ministers agreed to a new plan to build extensive fortifications meant to stop a potential Russian incursion which has been feared across northeastern Europe.
.
Estonia, one of the countries included in the plan,
shares a 210-mile border with Russia and will install
some 600 bunkers meant to prevent an invasion.
The war in Ukraine has shown
that taking back already conquered
territories is extremely difficult and
comes at great cost of human lives,
time and material resources, Susan Lilleväli, undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, via 'Newsweek'.
Susan Lilleväli, the undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, discussed the
$64.7 million project during a February 8 press conference.
In addition to equipment,
ammunition and manpower,
we need physical installations
to defend our countries efficiently, Susan Lilleväli, undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, via 'Newsweek'.
According to Lilleväli, the planned Baltic defensive
line is part of NATO's updated "forward defense
posture and deterrence by denial" approach.
These installations serve, first,
the purpose of avoiding military
conflict in our region, as they could
potentially change the enemy's calculus, Susan Lilleväli, undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, via 'Newsweek'.
Counter-mobility and fortification
measures have played a significant
role in wars in our region in history,
for example in Finland, and as the
war in Ukraine has demonstrated they
are perfectly valid also in this century, Susan Lilleväli, undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that prototypes for the bunkers
are currently being constructed, with testing set to
commence this year and installation beginning in 2025

The US has deployed the newly modernized B61-12 thermonuclear bombs across Europe under NATO’s nuclear-sharing program. These advanced weapons, part of the B61-12 Life Extension Program, bolster NATO’s deterrence capabilities amid rising tensions with Russia. Meanwhile, Moscow warns such deployments lower the nuclear threshold, further escalating global security concerns.

A Danish F-16 instructor, Jepp Hansen, has been killed in a Russian missile strike targeting a Ukrainian training center in Krivoy Rog. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict as NATO support for Ukraine continues to intensify. With Russia condemning Western arms shipments and attacking vital military infrastructure, the question remains: will NATO continue its backing, or will this deadly strike change the course of the war?

In a historic move, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a comprehensive cooperation pact in Moscow, solidifying the partnership between two of the world's most heavily sanctioned nations. The treaty aims to enhance military, political, and trade-economic ties, with a focus on regional security, energy collaboration, and the peaceful use of nuclear technology. Both countries seek to counter external interference, especially from the U.S. and NATO, while working on joint projects in sectors like gold and diamond mining, oil, gas, and infrastructure development. The agreement comes just days before Donald Trump's return to power, raising questions about the future of US-Iran relations.
