- approved in the document.
At the same time, Estonian intelligence claims that NATO has no "comparable missile systems" anywhere in Europe.

However, Estonian intelligence agents admit that the possibility of a military attack by Russia on Estonia is "small", as "the Russian army is afraid of NATO."
