The Estonian Defense Forces' (EDF) second infantry brigade is to see a planned €3.7-million heavy equipment procurement slated for 2023 brought forward to this year, ETV news show "Aktuaalne kaamera" (AK) reported Sunday evening. The plant is primarily engineering equipment used in constructing fortications, shelters, trenches and other positions, which had previously been carried out in training exercises by private sector firms. This also led to a saving of around a million euros, some of which was used to purchase two bulldozers, AK reported, and will also be used in other military engineering procurements. The kit should be available as early as this year's Spring Storm mass exercise, AK reported.
