Эстони улс ОХУ-ын цэргийн тактикийг судалсны үндсэн дээр батлан хамгаалах шинэ доктрин боловсруулж, цэргийн ангиудаа хил рүү ойртуулах стратегийн өөрчлөлт хийж байна.
Эстонийн зэвсэгт хүчин үндсэн байлдааны ангиудаа Тапа хотоос ОХУ-ын Ленинград мужтай хиллэдэг Жыхви хот руу шилжүүлж эхэллээ. Мөн хил орчмын Нарва хотод хямралын үед 1,000 хүртэлх цэргийг байрлуулах шинэ байгууламжуудыг барьж байна. Шинэ доктрины хүрээнд Эстони улс газар нутгийн бүрэн бүтэн байдлыг хамгаалахын тулд “инч бүрийн төлөө тэмцэх” байр суурийг баримталж, 300 км хүртэлх зайд цохилт өгөх чадалтай дрон болон баллистик пуужингийн системүүдийг худалдан авахаар төлөвлөжээ.
ОХУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгчийн хэвлэлийн нарийн бичгийн дарга Дмитрий Песков даваа гарагт хийсэн мэдэгдэлдээ Эстонийн энэхүү үйлдлийг төдийлөн ач холбогдол өгөхгүй байгаагаа илэрхийлэв. Тэрээр ОХУ-ын Батлан хамгаалах яам болон холбогдох албад хил орчмын нөхцөл байдлыг бүрэн хянах, үнэлэх тагнуулын чадавхтай гэдгийг онцолсон байна.
Үүний зэрэгцээ Герман улсын Гадаад тагнуулын албаны (BND) тэргүүн Мартин Ягер ОХУ-аас Европ даяар явуулж буй “далд дайн” болон эрлийз халдлагуудын улмаас “хүчирхийллийн шинжтэй мөргөлдөөн” үүсэх эрсдэл бодитой байгааг анхааруулав. Тэрээр ОХУ ойрын хугацаанд ялангуяа Балтын тэнгисийн орнуудад цэргийн идэвхжил багатай ч түрэмгий үйл ажиллагаа явуулж болзошгүйг мэдээлжээ.

The Kremlin on Mondaysaid Russia’s intelligence services were capable of monitoring military movements along the country’s borders, brushing aside reports that Estonia is shifting troops closer to the Russian border.
“There should be no doubt that our Defense Ministry and other relevant services possess the necessary intelligence to properly monitor and assess the situation around our borders,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters during a daily briefing.
His comments come in response to the Financial Timesdetailing Estonia’s strategic pivot toward an “active defense” posture after observing Russia’s military tactics in Ukraine.
Under the updated doctrine, the Baltic nation of 1.3 million is moving primary combat units from northern Estonia’s Tapa to Jõhvi — 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the border with the Leningrad region.
Estonia is also constructing new facilities in the border city of Narva to house up to 1,000 troops during a crisis.
Instead of a doctrine involving efforts to “harry” invading Russian forces until the arrival of NATO reinforcements, Estonian military planners are now opting to “fight over every inch of territory.” The country is also acquiring drones and ballistic missiles capable of striking up to 300 kilometers (186 miles) inside Russian territory.
Estonia, a former Soviet republic that has long had strained relations with Moscow, has been at the forefront of countering Russian security threats and has strongly backed Ukraine since Putin ordered the full-scale invasion in February 2022.
The FT report comes amid escalating rhetoric between European officials and Russia.
Martin Jaeger, the head of Germany’s BND foreign intelligence agency, said Monday that Germany faces a real risk of entering a “violent conflict” with Russia as Moscow expands its “shadow war” of hybrid attacks across Europe.
Jaeger warned that in the short term Russia could engage in “low-intensity military activities, particularly in the Baltic states.”

Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has designated The Moscow Times as an “undesirable” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a “foreign agent.”
