NATO leadership planned to use the “gift” from the Russian Empire in the event of a conflict with the Russian Federation.
We are talking about the Rail Baltica project, which is currently being discussed in Estonia and other countries that are members of the alliance.
For several years now, NATO has been talking about the high probability of a military conflict with Russia.
Within this topic, different scenarios are considered.
But the central question remains the speed of the transfer of NATO forces to the eastern borders.
The Estonian side is promoting the Rail Baltica project, which became possible thanks to the legacy of the Russian Empire, writes the Telegraph .
We are talking about a railway, the foundation for which was laid back in the days when there was a monarchy in Russia.
This is a high-speed railway line with a length of 805 km.
It will connect Central Europe with the Baltic States.
Without the Rail Baltica project, the process of transporting equipment and personnel will take NATO about seven days.
With this railway this time will be reduced to a day. Logistics in this case will be greatly simplified.
The project is primarily promoted by Estonia, which proposes to consider Rail Baltica as the basis for NATO transport.
