No you got it wrong, it’s the other way around.
*Switzerland build lvl 10 forts
*Germany Invades anyway

-Swiss build level 10 fort
-Germany invade anyways
-Germany declare war on the allies, soviets & axis

The fact that the swiss national defense strategy is basically: make it harder to defeat us then negotiate, means a winter war scenario would be exactly as the swiss planned
Yep, switzerand was made to be a giant Stalingrad
During the second world war they had to grow food on mountain and cliff sides to have anything to eat. They were bombed by America a few times "accidentally." Being neutral isn't a completely painless deal. Ireland's neutrality was barely a thing. Belgium's neutrality declaration was useless. The Swedes had to agree to German railroad usage to avoid being bombed and invaded. Bad times 👩🔧🇺🇲🛠️🇷🇺
@@craftpaint1644 yah conflict rarely spares any involved
the swiss can survive even a nuke with their polici to bould anti atomic bunkers
Modern Germany wont have slightest chances to conquer Switzerland. Swiss would bleed invaders dry. Swiss are like Finns, prepared, use the terrain to advantage,, and have proud fighting spirit.
Let's face it, Switzerland is just really hard to conquer... I believe one reason they weren't invaded in either world wars was because everyone knew it was just going to be a waste of resources, the mountains are just terrible to move through, and I believe Swiss defence policy isn't focussed on winning but making it as hard as possible for the invading force to conquer Switzerland... Like... They would just blow up every form of access to the country and retreat to the mountains for a guerilla war. Kind of the best thing for them to do, considering their neighbours' higher military potential...
No they just neutral
Since ever
Besides, the Swiss keep everyone's money. You don't want your secrets to become public by robbing your bankers. ;)
@@jonas8441 the Netherlands and Belgium declared neutrality too during both world wars, plus Hitler had plans to invade Switzerland when the time came, operation Tannenbaum. The reason however that Germany always went through Belgium is because of the relatively flat landscape that allows large scale troop movement and a closer distance to Paris, aside from that, generals at the time knew that movement and conquering is hard in the mountains, that's why the Carpathian front, the Alpine front and the Caucasus front generally stood completely still even through the Brusilov offensive and the millions of battles at the Isonzo river. Switzerland was neutral because Germany and France allowed them to, because they knew conquering Switzerland would be a huge pain in the ass.
@@TomSistermans Exactly just because a nation or country declares neutrality does not mean the belligerents will respect it.Especially if the neutral party is situated between them and the enemies territory.
Little do we know about the Swiss gold covered nukes
fun fact: we did actually think about building nukes but later decided there was no point
You realize the Swiss state is not as rich as the German one by a long shot, right? The Swiss people are rich but not the state(compared with Germany)
@ switzerland is proportionally richer. And state assets or capital are not the same thing
@@navaryn2938 proportionally richer geographically speaking?
Nukes are just way too dangerous. The number of almost nuclear holocausts due to a cow activating a sensor is absurd.
Before WW1 whilst watching the Swiss training, the Kaiser queried what the quarter of a million Swiss Army would do if faced with an invasion of half a million Germans. A Swiss militiaman replied, “Shoot twice.”
it was "shoot twice and go home". and it wasn't a militiaman who said that.
aednil neither you nor I were there and it has been reported variously as being said by colonels, generals, ambassadors and with different wording. It’s quite likely it’s apocryphal anyway so dude don’t get worked up about it because you don’t know for sure
@@Vaultboy-ke2jj maybe it was an ambassador, maybe some other high ranking person, but the Kaiser wouldn't have talked to a regular militiaman. maybe the entire conversation never even happened, "shoot twice and go home" is a better line though.
aednil a militia colonel is still a militiaman. The quote didn’t say because we just don’t know. But keep arguing about something that maybe never happened 👍
@@Vaultboy-ke2jj a militia colonel would still be unlikely to have talked to the Kaiser.
anyway, the point is, you butchered the punchline. "shoot twice" doesn't get the point across as well as "shoot twice and go home" does.

this made me laugh harder than it should have
Technically Germany is still under allied occupation, and some ww2 treaties are still in effect that limit their army size.

Since when have forests been a serious impediment to German armor units?
Don't confuse France's failure to protect the Ardennes as a knock on the defensive value of a dense forest with actual defenders in it. The Battle of Hürtgen Forest would be a good example of a properly defended forest fight.
@@allenz7688 Yeah. If there was an actual defense there, that would mean the end for the Germans.
If the forest is actually defended, France failed to do that because they allocated their troops to the most well-defended line, which Germany obviously avoided it.

The swiss army is surprisingly mobile, including all infantry battalions using wheeled APC, and the armored units using tracked IFV along the tanks. The infantry fighting from bunkers is more of a mythe due to the doctrine of cold war era
The hidden bunkers might see use again if Switzerland revives Project 26, a secret unit that trained in the UK in insurgency warfare during the Cold War. They would be very difficult to root out and potentially cause years of problems for the occupation force with countless places to hide in.
@@TammoKorsai I believe the project is now dead and gone, and most files are public. The problem with static bunkers in modern warfare is that the targeting systems are now so precise and sophisticated that non moving object can be destroyed way easier nowadays. That's why mos bunkers are now disabled/destroyed/sold for other purposes.
Fair point. However, I'd still like to see the Cold War scenario by Binkov where P26 would have been a factor. The concept interested me after I found Wehrhafte Schweiz on RUclips by chance.
@@valentinjacot-descombes9263 Whilst it is known that Project 26 is gone, is it possible for Switzerland to reactivate such plan for an modern war?
@@Verpal I imagine, but would it make sense? It was at a time where the danger were the soviet onslaught, which Switzerland couldn't dream of stopping. Hence harassing behind enemy lines would make the cost of an invasion higher, and maybe dissuade the USSR to attack.
Today the armies of the world are more concentrated on asymmetrical or hybrid warfare, which implies that the conventional troops are in fighting order.
But what about the Swiss’s mountain laser weapon
thats a secret, how do you know about this? are you a spy??
This was your last mistake... say goodbye to your family😆
Well the Swiss basically live on a land fortified by mountain. And every adult male has to serve in their military and everyone is armed with guns and they have a strong culture of shooting sports I'd say it would be a lot harder for Germany to take the Swiss.
they would also blew up every bridge and some mountains in the country if germany would try to take them. and they have the gold of so much countries they would attack germany then anyways...(usa would protect us too if we had a war and need support so what should happen) :D
In the Eighties the Swiss released a guerilla warfare manual called "Total Resistance". The objective was to train the Swiss population to fight a guerilla war against potential invaders and also to make the invaders lives such a living hell they would want to go home.
Well in germany there was also a thing named Wehrpflicht till 2011 so everyman had to serve in the Military for a time and allot of them still know how to Use theyre Weapons

Eh, nobody is actually going to attack Switzerland. You hold what's most important - the world's money, including plenty of money belonging to your potential adversaries. There is no reason to attack your banker unless he steals your money.
We would never invade our friends with the good cheese, even though they are sometimes realy mean to us foreigners :D
Don't forget Toblerone
@bo mg
To be honest, I don't know any of my Swiss friends who eat Toblerone on a regular bases or even occasionally. I don't eat it because it always gets stuck between my teeth. It seems to be tourist food. Hell, there is even a chocolate brand literally called "Tourist". Ironically, that one I eat sometimes. XD

One word
*Mountain*
Thank you very much for this video! I am from Switzerland and I must say that you know our army better than almost anybody in my own country. Many Swiss people think that we would never stand a chance against any aggressor, no matter how weak, while others believe that we could defeat the combined NATO forces. Both claims are equally absurd. Your video is the first serious analysis of our defensive capabilities that I have ever seen!
Your historic strategy plan has been to play the Afghanistan card: you may invade, but you will not win, and you'll pay a high price for it.
The video was informative only for number comparison. Swiss army would probably not defend the flat lands nor the rhine. We would most certainly retreat to the mountains and fight a guerilla war from the very first day. Our army leaders are not dumb, they knew that they would not stand a chance in an open terrain conflict back in the world wars, and they know it today...
@@miguelubieto1957I do not fully agree with you. I think you are oversimplifying things. Even though we had the redoubt tactics, knowing we could not hope to stop a large invading force in the flatlands, there were still several defensive lines. It still would have been crucial to slow down the German advance. This also applies to our times. Things have not totally changed in this respect.

Ya thats interesting i agree

Auch wenn wir uns oft und gerne über die Deutschen lustig machen, auf sie schiessen würden wir wohl kaum. Bei den Deutschen dürfte ein solcher Befehl wohl ebenfalls zu Befehlsverweigerung und oder Desertation führen.
Wenn man diese Begebenheiten weglässt denke ich, es würde für uns Schweizer schlechter ausgehen als hier dargestellt. Insbesondere das nicht vorhandensein von Panzerabwehrlenkwaffen dürfte den Schweizer Panzerbrigaden schnell das Genick brechen.

German troops: mobilizing at rhine border to invade Switzerland
Swiss airforce: *Hello and welcome! You're calling outside of business hours. Please try again tomorrow 7-12 am or 1-5pm.*
this all works under the assumption everyone else stays neutral and considering that switzerland is a diplomatic hotspot the germans would never be able to justify it.
Unless they decide to celebrate the centennial woith a reenactment...
Uh, yeah
Rules: “No politics! No allies! Same starting morale!”
I know it may be very complicated to take into account such things. However, the type of warfare adopted by either side would be very important. If the Swiss adopted a guerrilla approach its highly likely the Germany would lose in the longs run. Russia in Grozny (Urban) and many powers in Afghanistan (Mountainous) are good examples of this.
"Winning a guerilla warfare in the long run" always means letting the enemy take over your territory and means of production, while having to live your own life in the constant state of uncertainty, hoping for a distant future "political victory".

i've realised many small countries do not focus on their air force as much as larger nations
5:10 it is true that the rapier missile don’t have the capability to reach high altitudes, but can’t the Swiss relocate their rapier batteries by helicopter and place them on mountain tops, then that can act as a high altitude system
Germany shares his availability rates and most of the other nations not. You should only use it when the opposite army shares his rates too. The swiss or any other nation like Russia or china never have a availability rate of 100%, they are smart enough to make it not public.
These rates are mainly published to get the public to agree raising army funding. It's usually not as bad as reported, and issues might be fixed within days if needed.

To give people from other continents some context as to why both of these militaries are in a rather poor status right now, because West Europeans all are at peace here at the moment. So, there's no point in arming eachother.
And for those genuisses who believe we should upgrade our militaries because Europe is being "invaded" by Muslims; the 8 million population of Switzerland is made out of roughly 2 million foraigners. Most of them could be technically seen as 'economic migrants' of all origin. Yet we don't face major issues in our country right now and are still capable of preserving our culture.
If your country has difficulties on dealing with migrants at the moment, maybe you should follow our example of how to handle them peacefully -- just a suggestion...
If you still have questions, you can just ask me. I can explain you in full detail why it works. After all, Muslims and Africans are not the first refugees we had to adress in our long history. ;)
The Swiss military isn't really in poor status if we consider how small our Country is.
@Leonardo Valsangiacomo
Fair point.
I can't really say, in what state our military actually is, I'm not an expert. That was just the opinion of our politically pro-military folks. Even if it is in a poor state, I don't mind at the moment.
Yeap... Swiss have 2 million immigrants(If we include the second generation too), but what are their demographics? I bet your ass they are mostly not Muslims or Africans.
@_Sky_
Nope, that doesn't include 2nd generation, since everybody that is born by in Switzerland residing parents (foreign or not) are born Swiss.
Of course not, but their numbers have definitely significantly increased over the last few years. However, the largest amount of immigrants are still from other (mostly neighbouring) European countries. That's also still the case in countries like Germany and even Sweden. If you don't believe me, you can look it up. Every country has its own statistics on that.
Just the way immigrants from other continents get treated highly differs, which leads to the differing results...
@@BanBootlicking 1.65 million, 85% of the total immigrants in Switzerland came from Europe, not the Middle East or Africa. It is far easier for Switzerland to assimilate an ethnic German than an Arab. And a difference in performance of different ethnic groups is in large part due to their biological IQ capabilities. Thus you will not be able to preserve your culture if you, for example, let in 2 million Somalians etc.

EricDerLetsPlayer This is just a scenario, just what if, Germany would try to invade Switzerland without any other country joining the fight
One big factor that was not mentioned. The German Fighter Force of Eurofighters linger at about 50 to 60% Operational Capability. The Swiss Air Force has a much higher Operational Capability, 80 to 90%. This might also reflect in the army too, not sure about that.
Well yeah this is what the Swiss count on, making attacking them simply not worth it. They know they cannot beat a far more powerful nation, but if they make it costly enough combined with their neutral stance there is really little incentive for anyone to invade.
Of course we could
But why should we conquer a friend of us ?
I already see these stupid comments saying that Germany couldn't conquer them or that the Wehrmacht was better than the Bundeswehr
it's just theory , nothing is better than peace
nazi propaganda was their best weapon, thats why so many nazi fandboys all over the place
Admit that the current state of the Bundeswehr is quite shameful.
The Bundeswehr is truly awful.

In WW2, a German commander asks a Swiss commander, “What would you do if i sent you an army of 500,000 men?” . (Swiss had an army of 250,000 men at the time) Swiss commander responds: “We shoot twice and go home.”
When would a German commander and the Swiss Commander speak?
It was actually in 1912, the Kaiser asked and it was about 100 and 200K men
Switzerland has multiple classified secret airforce bases including at least 1 in the mountains along Germany so you may have to rethink the scenario when potentially half of Switzerlands planes are classified

Albania, Bosnia have significant majority Muslim populations, Macedonia, and Montenegro both have significant Muslim minorities which means they wont be fighting, Croatia wouldn't join in and Slovenia, Romania is too far away.

not a lot, but 3 months is 3 months.
I think you should also consider that in the captured parts of switzerland, guerilla forces would operate due to the amount of weapons that are in private hands and many who were in military service were trained for it.
It would be very difficult for anyone to conquer the Swiss, thats why no one tried.

There is no way a complete victory against Germany without foreign intervention.
I thought according to recent news, none of German Eurofighter can fly
In peacetime, for most faults the bird stays on ground. Not in an emergency, though.
Nope There are around 40 eurofighters always avaible. Hoewer a few weeks ago only 4 are avaible because the Rest needs Software upgrades. But There only 4 avaible a Single Week After this There avaible.
That's clearly an exaggeration, like someone before me said, roughly 40 of them are available which isn't that much different than many modernized armed forces. Hell, less than half of the US' F-22 is combat-ready at any given time.
No, my beloved homecountry is unconquerable!

Switzerland actually had some of the best soldiers in Europe back in the 1500s. They were virtually invincible.

You tell us about prehistory.

I wouldn't call it a marginal German victory after capturing the most industrial hubs and the Capital Zurich
Kalloljit Barman Zurich isn‘t the capital. In fact Switzerland doesn‘t have a Capital but Bern is the Seating of the goverment so its technicly the capital. Zurich is the Economic centre of switzerland and the biggest city
And loosing their entire equipment pool, trained professional military, and about a million more troops. To then be utterly unable to assail the alps and have to wage a fruitless assymetric war on an extremely patriotic, well armed, well trained and battle hardned occupied population.
The soviets gled Asstan for way less.
I think it is inappropriate to compare Germany and Switzerland on the one hand and the Soviet Union and Finland on the other. First, the Soviet army poorly prepared a plan for a war with Finland. Secondly, the Soviet regime led by Stalin absolutely did not spare their soldiers and people in general. Therefore, the USSR suffered such losses. This cannot be said about modern Germany.
The Swiss army will have to fight in the conditions of complete superiority of Germany in the air, in tanks, artillery. Switzerland has no modern air defense systems. This is the Swiss army will suffer greater losses than the German.

Such a war would be lost for the Germans before the first shot is fired. PS: I have lived in both countries.
I feel like Switzerland gets given this sort of mystique that it probably doesn't deserve.
I did happen to know a guy who worked in Swiss military HQ in the 80s (he was transferred there from the armoured corps) and he told me that the Swiss Army held a series of war games back then to try to figure out if their defenses could reasonably be expected to hold out against German or French attack. The answer was that they figured Switzerland would last between a couple of days and a week until most of Switzerland's major cities were taken (though it would take a lot longer to dig the Swiss Army out of the Alps, if the invader even bothered to try).
Based on this, Swiss defense spending was reduced pretty substantially, particularly after the end of the Cold War.
Now, German defense spending has gone down a fair bit since then too, so who knows if that might even things out. But I think the estimate in the video is a bit shorter than what the Swiss defense community itself would predict.
I would caveat this by saying I don't know how much enemy preparation is assumed in the estimate above.
Germany: Declares war on Switzerland and steals gold
USA joined the game
Germany: „Windows shutdown-sound“
I live in Switzerland and yeah we have for sure the money to do a full upgrade but our goverment is ruled by 60 olds pacifists
which is not a bad thing in itself.
@Cegesh The thing is that once there is war it is too late to upgrade and buy new stuff.
And there IS war in Europe. Unless you don't consider the Ukraine to be part of Europe
Russia vs USA on the Bering Strait.
Mongol Empire reunited vs USA
We wouldnt attack our friends in switzerland :) love to you all
"Switzerland is mostly either mountains or forest, basically impassable for large motorized groups"
*Battle of the Ardennes intensifies*
He said mountains AND forests, the Ardennes are flat, Swiss forests are very steep because they go up and down with the mountains, most of the alps is full of forests the lack of vegetation you see in pictures only starts when over 2000 meters above sea level.
Suggestion: France and Germany and Italy are all trying to annex Switzerland
Your just gonna make them more paranoid
Do Australia vs New Zealand
Australia.
Australia is way too far away in the mountains. Also they are neutral if you know what I mean
Not really? What do you mean? Lol
@@alanmike6883 I don't know what anonymous means ... I guess he means Austria with the Kangaroo
No offense to our kiwi bros and sisters but binkov would declare it an oz total victory, u have no fighter/bombers, no subs and only 2 lightly armed frigates and a small army with no tanks
*no*
Binkov you should do videos on the top 10 countries for different categories ie army size, tanks, navy, airforce OR the top 5 tanks, jet fighters, bombers etc
I live in Switzerland in the alpes and I know as a fact if germany declared war on Switzerland quite a few other countries would help Switzerland for several reasons.
I feel like Switzerland Could win
Can you make a Chile vs Peru video? This is my 31st petition.
Peru will win this time.
Peru would definitely win.
Bolivia will win and take back its rightful clay with their army of Llamas
@@CristeroFanatic Peru and Bolivia will unite and the Peruano-Bolivian confederation will rise once again !
And then red army punch them from kaliningrad
Switzerland will soon get F-35s to replace its F/A-18s and it will also procure 5 Patriot missile launchers from what I read
It would be interesting to apply this scenario to Germany and Switzerland circa 1940. Air dominance is less a factor in mountainous terrain, witness American dominance in Afghanistan, and earlier Soviet dominance.
Yeah, but like what's even the point?
Watches and chocolate.
