Lithuania installed “dragon’s teeth” and mines in front of the bridge on the border with the Kaliningrad region
“This is a precautionary step to ensure more effective defense,” the Lithuanian Defense Ministry said on Twitter. The ministry explained that the Queen Louise Bridge is Russian property, so Lithuania cannot install “dragon’s teeth” and mines on the bridge itself, but only in front of it.
It is more for a show I guess, which is not to say they shouldn’t do it.
Surely first step in invasion over the bridge would be to just hit that bridge with some rocket…?
It’s definitely a message, not an actual defensive fortification.
I think it can be for two things at once. Definetly more for show, but increases annoyance/makes a possible invasion more annoying.
Obviously I imagine they have a way to blow up the bridge too which sounds far more effective.
I’d love to see [email protected] do a meme week about Russia haplessly trying to mount an invasion from Kaliningrad lmao
Would make sense that main invasion would be from the east, but a second front may be opened to try and collapse the “enemy” who would likely be stretched thin.
If Russia tries to go to war with NATO, Kaliningrad is instantly blockaded and defeated. Russia can hide nothing in Kaliningrad
Unless Trump withdraws, Russian war would have to be won in a week. By the time american logistical supplies and reinforcements start coming in strong, Russia is fucked.
You don’t think Europe has the means to defend itself against Russia?! Lmao
Just coming back to this, Russia has the capacity to produce multiple times the amount of shells than the entirety of europe can put together.
