Estonia has proposed a plan.
Estonia, Poland, Finland and Sweden have possibilities to completely block the Baltic Sea for the Russian fleet.
This was stated by the commander of the Estonian Defence Forces, General Martin Herem. His statement was quoted in the Defence Forces yearbook published on May 3.
"We have significantly improved our maritime capabilities. Currently, both sea mines and anti-ship missiles are in the Navy's inventory. Together with Poland, Sweden and Finland, which have just joined NATO, we should be able to solve one of our key problems - a possible blockade in the Baltic Sea," the general said.
According to him, "after that, it becomes completely unlikely that the aggressor will be able to deploy ship and air defences in the Baltic Sea, which in turn allows us to provide air and sea support from allies."
The commander-in-chief urged the allies to adapt to the new conditions and make difficult decisions.
