27 parks with "dragon's teeth" have been created in Lithuania on the border with Russia and Belarus

The Lithuanian authorities have formed 27 engineering parks on the border with Belarus and Russia, in which they have placed "dragon's teeth", anti-tank "hedgehogs" and other means of counter-mobility. This was announced on June 29 by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the country.

"Lithuania, together with Latvia, Estonia and Poland, has taken the initiative to initiate a project to protect the eastern border of the European Union, which will strengthen the 2,300 km border with Russia and Belarus," the ministry said in a statement on its website.

The ministry noted that the project is based on the national initiatives of the Baltic Line of Defense and the Polish Eastern Shield. They make it possible to synchronize the joint actions of states to protect their borders.

"Additional countermobility measures are also being implemented: deepening reclamation ditches, forming forest alleys, preserving woodlands, and strengthening fords across the Neman. The army's mining capabilities are being developed, which will significantly increase the overall effectiveness of defense," the Lithuanian Defense Ministry added.

The Balts are pushing their neighbors to escalate the conflict

On June 24, the British newspaper The Telegraph reported that the Baltic states are planning to erect an "iron curtain" of thousands of mines on the border with Russia. According to the newspaper, this decision was made after Finland, Poland and the Baltic countries withdrew from the Ottawa Convention on the Prohibition of anti-personnel mines. The author of the article notes that "quiet pine and birch forests along the borders" will be chosen for the implementation of the initiative.

Also in March, it was reported that Lithuania plans to mine the borders with Russia and Belarus, following the example of Poland.
