“The ‘new’ Maginot line.”

No; Poland and the Baltics are not stupid enough to erect a static defensive fortification.

In the 1930s the Czechoslovaks built a fairly extensive network of bunkers near the border with Germany to defend against a potential attack. Sadly, the Munich Agreement of 1938 enabled Hitler to simply annex the territory where most of it was located, in the ethnic German-inhabited Sudetenland, leaving the Czechoslovaks largely defenseless against the invading Wehrmacht.

I wonder how much of this Baltic defense will be located in areas of Latvia and Estonia where majorities of ethnic Russians still live?
