Lithuania continues to prepare its preventive defense around its country, having begun to place anti-tank traps called Dragon's Teeth at several airports. The NATO member has announced its intention to install fences, barbed wire, and concrete pyramids at the airports of Vilnius, Kaunas, and Palanga. Similar protective structures have already been installed on bridges connecting the country to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad and across the Neman River. Anti-tank traps called Dragon's Teeth have been placed on Lithuanian bridges connecting to Russia.
The Lithuanian Ministry of Defense said: "Lithuania continues to expand its anti-mobility engineering parks, now placing equipment at Vilnius Airport, with Kaunas and Palanga airports next in line. A total of 27 parks across the country will stock anti-movement equipment such as roadblocks, dragon's teeth, barbed wire, etc." The country is annexed to Kaliningrad from the northeast and said the previous measures were implemented as a precaution to ensure effective defense. Dragon's teeth and barbed wire are used to slow or prevent the advance of armored vehicles and tanks, and can make stranded vehicles vulnerable to enemy attack. They can also be used against mechanized infantry, and are not easily removed.
