then you still have tons of defense in depth bud. Trading space for time while enemies struggle to overcome MOUNTAINS because you bright lights popped the tunnel entrances gives you time to prep other shit.
sauce: They’re still there, right, the Alps? they didn’t go away?
This works well against a WWII level enemy, like the fascists in the shithole to the east of Ukraine. Against a modern enemy with USA level technology it won’t hold a week, because the alpine bunkers are built to withstand WWII artillery, not modern missiles and stuff.
Oh I forgot you retired your air force. Those F18s would have helped. And your ADA, what with patriot missile batteries, yeah those all sucked good thing you got rid of it.
pffffttt…
mate, I get it, you’re prior service <something> from switzerland; I don’t think you understand how under/unequipped some countries actually are. And you’ve got generations of potential defenders who are basic trained and ready to be called up. It’s hard to find much credibility in your premise.
hey if it’s any consolation, the US is never going to invade fucking switzerland. we have our own mountains and cheese, and you can keep the nazi gold lol
Yeah, I expect mountains are good defensive terrain even with modern technology, but they don’t make you invincible. I don’t know what the other guy is going on about.
Oh I hadn’t heard they removed THE ALPS.
wait, they haven’t?
