In a drill named 'ALPHA UNO', the Swiss Air Force flew four F/A-18 fighter jets for the first time in 33 years to practice takeoff and landing on the A1 highway near Payerne Air Base in western Switzerland on June 5. The exercise aimed to strengthen the country's ability to respond to evolving security challenges and potential threats, particularly amid tensions in Europe following the Ukraine-Russia conflict. The Swiss government approved this drill as a measure to enhance defense capabilities and secure airspace, emphasizing the need to be prepared for any future threats.
