Anyone that would be interested in invading Switzerland has to go through an aweful lot of other countries first. Or do you really believe Switzerland needs to be ready to defend against France, Germany, Italy, Austria or Lichtenstein?
There simply is currently no conceivable threat scenario that needs to be countered.
- Bayart 7y agoA few years ago, Switzerland did have a war game on a French invasion scenario.
- folli 7y agoFirst of all, the exactly same reasoning was used after the horrors of WWI, when everyone believed another European war will never be repeated, with known results on the readiness of the Swiss Army at the beginning of WWII. Second, conflicts are on a gradient, from scattered terrorist attacks to a full on military invasion, there is a lot in between. The statement that there is no conceivable threat scenario is ridiculous.
