The NATO state of Latvia is installing concrete "dragon's teeth" and digging anti-tank trenches along its eastern border as it continues to strengthen its defenses against Russia.
These "dragon teeth," which will act as obstacles that slow enemy vehicles, are one of the latest additions to the Baltic Defense Line, a joint initiative agreed by Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in January 2024, according to Latvian public broadcaster LSM. Each "dragon's tooth," arranged in rows, weighs about 3,300 pounds and stands just over 3 feet 3 inches tall.
