Quotes

As Lithuania begins to build its fortification line, what can Ukraine’s Kursk operation teach about defences?

Lithuania’s planned defensive line would run alongside the so-called Suwałki Gap, a strategic choke point with Russia and Belarus.

"We are learning and preparing for similar actions, including the use of mines in defensive operations," said Lithuanian military expert.

"Static fortifications are not enough. The experience in Ukraine shows the need for a layered approach: engineering obstacles, drones, rapid response forces," reads the analysis.

"Drones are now integral to border security, both for surveillance and for direct action," said a Lithuanian defence official.
