Estonia's defense chief has welcomed the U.S. decision to preposition military equipment in the Baltics and other countries on the eastern edge of the alliance, saying that a strong presence is required to diminish the potential threat of a Russian attack.

Estonian Defense Minister Sven Mikser spoke to RFE/RL following a visit on June 21 from U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, who announced the United States would store enough tanks, fighting vehicles, and other weapons to supply either a company of about 150 soldiers or a battalion of about 750 in each of six countries: Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Poland. Some of the equipment would also be located in Germany.
