Switzerland’s defence minister is warning Europe’s security is under growing threat.
In an interview in the SonntagsZeitung, Martin Pfister pointed to the recent violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones, stressing the heightened risk of escalation across the continent.
While the government considers a similar scenario unlikely for Switzerland, officials admit the country’s air defence system could not currently repel such long-range threats.
Switzerland is awaiting delivery of Patriot missile systems, delayed due to US priorities in Ukraine.
Pfister says closer cooperation with neighbouring countries will be crucial to detect and combat drones effectively.
