Army chief says Switzerland can’t defend itself from full-scale attack

ZURICH: Switzerland cannot defend itself against a full-scale attack and must boost military spending given rising risks from Russia, the head of ​its armed forces said. The country is prepared for attacks by “non-state actors” on critical infrastructure and for cyberattacks, but its military still faces major equipment gaps, Thomas Suessli told the NZZ newspaper. “What we cannot do is defend against threats from a distance or even a full-scale ‌attack on ‌our country,” said Suessli, who is ‌stepping ⁠down ​at ‌the end of the year.
