Estonia to install buoys with blades on water border with Russia

The Estonian Police and Border Guard Board is preparing to install a chain of buoys with blades on the water border with Russia, the agency's deputy director general Veiko Kommusaar told the Estonian National Broadcasting Company. "The system is designed in such a way that if someone tries to cross this water infrastructure, there will be little left of their boat or vehicle," Kommusaar noted. At the same time, it will not be possible to climb over these buoys either: "they move the person back to where they came from," he explained.

The RPA will allocate one million euros for the pilot project, which is scheduled to last three years. Testing will begin in 2025.

Next year, Estonia will also begin building a defensive line on the border with Russia, which will include 600 bunkers, said Kadi-Kai Kollo, head of the infrastructure department at the state center for defense investments. According to her, the experience of Ukraine was taken into account when drawing up the requirements for the defensive structures.

According to estimates, 60 million euros will be spent on the construction. The defensive line will include anti-tank obstacles and a barbed wire fence.
