"Often soldiers, especially Russian soldiers, take pictures of themselves that are sent to Moscow to create the impression that something has been captured," Herem said.

"No matter where we position our troops, they are vulnerable when we lack air defense. Once this air defense issue is resolved, it will be a particularly strong argument that has been achieved in defense planning. As long as air defense is insufficient, the positioning of troops at specific points is of less importance," said security expert Rainer Saksa, adding that shifting units less than a hundred kilometers is not particularly strategically important. #EestiKaitse #Õhutõrje #SõjalinePlaneerimine (translated)

Defense expert Rainer Saks notes that the geographical redeployment of Estonian armed forces is not of great strategic importance, as the lack of air defense makes the troops vulnerable, while the focus should be directed towards the development of air defense and attack drones. #EestiKaitse #Õhutõrje #SõjalinePlaneerimine (translated)
