Soviet Army 1989, Category C

[Pats]

How it was stated here already, the swiss army did exactly that. Prepare everything to hold off a red Invasion. Espacially in the late 80's with Leo2 and introducing night vision capabilities an attack on the swiss could have been a nightmare LOL. 650'000 - 800'000 men could have been at arms in 12hrs time...
Looks at lot different this days.
Inthe 60's what so ever. We had the men power, but not the equipement to hold off an Invasion very Long... aged cebnturions and amx-13 wouldn't do much to a attack.
In the 80's Panzer 68 was then spine of the armed Forces.
There were over 200 tanks in about 14 Pz Bats.

For my personal expirience the time after 95 seemed a bit chaotic ;-)

Tell us more!

I got the impression that the Swiss in the 1980s planned to take up the fight with a Soviet invasion already at the borders? Is that correct?

How would a place like Altstätten have been defended?
