also worth mentioning that the US highway system was also intended to facilitate troop movement, something that Switzerland is probably disinclined to enable within or across its borders
- EdwardDiego 7y agoI suspect their extensive rail system* is the logistical backbone of their defense plans. ...of course key tunnels and bridges will have mines (in the old demolition sense) in place to deny the infrastructure to an opponent. Same as they've done their road passes. *https://www.railplus.com.au/images/maps/switzerland_map.jpg https://www.railplus.com.au/images/maps/switzerland_map.jpg
- manuel_w 7y agoWhat makes you believe Switzerland is more disinclined to enable troop movement than any other country? They are blessed not to have fought in a war since ages, but they are not less ready for it than any other country.
- detaro 7y agoSwiss defense needs are quite different from US ones, so it wouldn't be surprising if the preferred infrastructure were different.
