Just 35 miles from the Russian border, British troops are digging trenches, manning defensive positions and preparing for war.

In southern Estonia's forests, BFBS Forces News joined soldiers from 1st Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment – the Kingos – as they took part in a major Nato exercise, testing the alliance's ability to reinforce and defend its eastern flank in the face of a potential invasion.

It is all part of Exercise Hedgehog, one of the largest military drills ever conducted in Estonia.
