Defence ministry fits anti-tank barriers and ‘fortifications which will be supported by firepower to stop and destroy the enemy’

Lithuania has installed “dragon’s teeth” anti-tank barriers on bridges that link the country to Russia.

Its defence ministry also said “firepower” had been built around another fortified bridge over the Neman River to stop a potential Russian attack.

“Fortifications will be supported by firepower, in case it’s needed, to stop and destroy the enemy,” it said.

The Neman River forms part of Lithuania’s border with Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave. It is 580 miles long and flows from Belarus through Lithuania and then into the North Sea.

    Modern warfare seems to be very similar to world war two style warfare. Just with the things you listed added ontop. It’s not like they replaced the warfare.

    For instance the war in ukraine includes Blitzkrieg combined arms type offensives, world war 1 type trench warfare, soviet type attrition warfare, and some of the most modern drone and missile warfare.
