Permanent counter-mobility measures are being set up on parts of Lithuania’s border with Russia’s Kaliningrad. This is not only a signal to Russia but also a way to immediately protect areas that could be vulnerable, says Defence Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas.

Known as the ‘hedgehog line’, Lithuania’s so-called counter-mobility parks contain anti-tank hedgehogs, concertina wire, and signs warning about mines.

According to Major General Remigijus Baltrėnas, Chief of the Defence Staff, Lithuania’s border with Kaliningrad is given priority in permanent counter-mobility barriers, such as anti-tank hedgehogs and other obstacles.
