Nick Schifrin:
Donatas Jankauskas is the CEO of Gelmesta. Its barriers might be low-tech, but they’re highly efficient. The size, weight and angle of the dragon’s teeth stop enemy tanks in their tracks.
And, in Northeast Lithuania, American and Lithuanian troops train fewer than 10 miles from the Belarusian border, where hundreds of dragons’ teeth are already glaring, at the ready to stop Russian tanks. Lithuania is not alone fearing an attack from neighboring Russia. Up the road in Eastern Estonia, the Narva Bridge, 500 feet, separating the European Union on one side from Russia on the far side, and before it barbed wire, several rows of dragon’s teeth and additional massive metal gates, which Estonia began installing earlier this month.
It’s part of the Baltic defense line launched last year, a more-than-500-mile-long defense system constructed by Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia along the Russian and Belarusian borders, with thousands of barriers like these in Latvia, hundreds of bunkers seen here being battle-tested in Estonia, and miles of anti-tank trenches all spanning across NATO’s historic Eastern flank.
Donald Trump, President of the United States: Thank you very much. This has been an honor.
