IN PICTURES: UK Armour Rolls Into Estonia

The first of hundreds of UK military vehicles have arrived in Estonia to support the UK's enhanced Forward Presence battlegroup based in Tapa.

It's one of the largest-ever NATO deployments to Eastern Europe.

Setting sail from Marchwood, Southampton, last Wednesday, the roll-on-roll-off ferry stopped in Emden, Germany, to collect Warrior infantry fighting vehicles, Challenger 2 tanks and AS-90 self-propelled artillery guns. 

Also on board were Terrier, Titan and Trojan armoured battlefield engineer vehicles.

The vehicles will now be moved by road from the port to Tapa.
