Switzerland plans to create a military drone battalion by 2028, according to information from the country's Defense Ministry. The project is part of a modernization of Swiss military capabilities.
The European country has historically maintained a position of armed neutrality, which means it maintains military forces even without participating in international conflicts.
Switzerland also imposes mandatory military service on men, which ensures a considerable contingent of citizens with basic military training.
The drone battalion represents a technological update of the Swiss armed forces, adapting to the new realities of modern conflicts and military surveillance.
