About this report
The Baltic Defence Line represents a pivotal evolution in NATO’s eastern flank security, transitioning from a reactive posture to a proactive “deterrence-by-denial” strategy.
Formally initiated on 19 January 2024 by Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, the Baltic Defence Line is progressing through a phased implementation of counter-mobility and fortification measures, with nationally managed procurement and engineering works advancing at different speeds across the three countries.
Key questions this report answers

- How are Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania managing procurement and engineering works at different speeds?
