"The Swiss air force and the US Air Force in Europe are holding exercises from October 28-30, 2024, in Swiss airspace, in accordance with the joint training module. The goal of these exercises is to enhance the defense capability of the Swiss army through international cooperation," the statement read. The drills are meant to promote an exchange of experience and test the preparedness for joint air defense, the Swiss government said. Despite its self-proclaimed military neutrality, Switzerland will engage in 24 military drills involving NATO countries in 2024, including four in its territory. Since the start of the Ukraine crisis in February 2022, Switzerland has drawn Russia's criticism for engaging in most of the EU and NATO actions hostile to Moscow, despite not being a member to either of them.
