Latvia fortifies eastern border: construction of anti-tank ditches and obstacles

Expansion of the defensive line in the east of the country

Latvia is actively continuing to strengthen its eastern border, which borders the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. The main direction of work is the creation of physical barriers to protect the territory. To this end, anti-tank obstacles known as "dragon's teeth" are being installed in the area, as well as ditches are being dug.

Project parameters and deadlines

According to the priority plan, the total length of the anti-tank ditches planned for construction is 89 kilometres. At the current stage, construction work has already been completed on a section 4 kilometres long. The full completion of the first phase of the project, which covers 27 kilometres, is expected by next spring.
