As goes the rest of the world, so does Switzerland?

Making ready as is everyone else!

"Swiss Air Force To Practice Highway Operations For The First Time In Three Decades"

DANIELE MAIOLO DAVID CENCIOTTI | February 4, 2024.

"The Swiss Air Force (SAF) will test the air defense system with landings and take-offs on a motorway as part of exercise 'Alpha One'."

"In June 2024 the Swiss Air Force will practice landing and take-off operations on a motorway as part of an exercise dubbed 'Alpha One'. The goal of the operation is to assess the ability of the Swiss combat aircraft to operate in case airfields are unavailable or a decentralization of air defense is required"

Practice takeoff and landings of combat aviation, expedient airfields, highways of a proper dimension as available for dispersal of combat aircraft during wartime!

First time in 30 years, that can be considered to be significant!

The Swiss, indeed take their military defense very seriously and when I say everybody making ready, do I have to tell anybody what they are making ready for? I don’t think so!

See prior blog entries [with many embedded links] the topic various air forces of the world practicing takeoff and landings from expedient highway landing strips:
