According to the general, Russia continues to be the biggest threat. Jerem emphasized that long-range artillery, a medium-range air defense system, naval defense systems, and an additional six brigades to the ground defense forces will be required to repel a military attack in Estonia.
According to the general, at the moment the most important thing is to maintain the combat readiness of the operating units. It is necessary to protect the units, and armored vehicles and vehicles must be put in good condition. In addition, there must be communication and surveillance facilities.
Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy assessed the possibility of a full-scale war with Russia and described the scenario of how such a conflict would proceed. “Let's hope this is impossible. Otherwise, there will be a big war. We will not go anywhere, we will all fight, everyone will be mobilized – both men and women. It will be bad for the Ukrainian population. And I think Russia understands this very well, ”Zelensky said.
