Estonia is redeploying its elite troops closer to the border with Russia, with a unit under the first Estonian brigade commander moving from Tapa to Jõhvi, just 50 km from the Russian border. New military facilities are being built in Jõhvi and Narva, with the latter able to accommodate up to 1,000 soldiers. Estonia is also investing in long-range weapons, including HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, aiming to carry out deep strikes inside Russia if attacked. This shift in strategy is part of Estonia's move towards 'active defense'.
