Estonia is standing up to Russia.
According to a report by Sputnik News on the 16th, Ando Vorma, head of the Northeastern Center for National Defense Investment in Estonia, stated that the construction of the military city in Narva, eastern Estonia, will start in 2026 and is planned to be put into use in 2027.
The town of Narva in eastern Estonia is separated from Russia by the Narva River, and it is an important strategic location on the Baltic coast. It is only 150 kilometers away from Saint Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city. Once the Narva military base is built, it will be able to accommodate 1,000 soldiers, and the rocket artillery deployed there could reach Saint Petersburg, posing a significant threat to Russia. Estonia has an area of only 45,300 square kilometers, with a population of about 1.37 million, and is a member of NATO and the EU. This move by Estonia will intensify its tensions with Russia, and Estonia itself may not necessarily gain real security.
