COUNTRY - BUNKER

The country in the world that fears war the least is not the United States, but Switzerland. And the reason for this is the presence of countless bunkers crisscrossing its entire territory.

Inside these bunkers are numerous turrets with a range of up to 30 kilometers, ready to act at any moment. But this is only a small part of the grand design. Look at this idyllic village: every four barns here are connected by underground passages. From the outside, only grazing cows and green meadows are visible, but underground there are reliable shelters.

Even more astonishing is that the Swiss government has turned the entire Alps into one giant bunker. These are not just military fortifications; they are self-sufficient underground cities. Inside, you will find not only sleeping quarters and hospitals, but also luxurious hotels, restaurants, public canteens, modern showers, and powerful generators capable of ensuring autonomous existence for many months. The number of room keys hanging on one wall is astonishing, hinting at the scale of these underground labyrinths.

The entrance to one of these bunkers can be hidden behind an ordinary dilapidated door in the forest. From the outside, the mountains seem to be impassable cliffs, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear: the entire rock is riddled with hidden passages and firing points, perfectly camouflaged as natural landscape.

Even this seemingly ordinary house on a mountain slope, upon opening the door, turns out to be part of a reliable bunker complex. Or this unremarkable stone – it also hides the entrance to the underground world.

It is known that the Alps occupy about 62.5% of Switzerland's territory. And it is in 60% of these mountainous areas that well-fortified bunkers have been built. But even on the remaining 40% of the plain territory, each community has its own nuclear shelter. These shelters are equipped with a full range of medical facilities: operating theaters, hospital wards, even morgues – everything is ready for survival in the most extreme conditions.

Bunkers under residential buildings usually have blast-proof doors up to half a meter thick and air filtration systems that provide protection against radioactive fallout and biological threats.

It is well known that Switzerland has maintained neutrality since 1815 and controls about 30% of the world's private capital. A logical question arises: why does a country that avoids conflicts and is a financial center need such a colossal, hidden military infrastructure? The answer lies in wisdom and foresight: complete readiness for defense is the best guarantee of peace and preservation of independence in an unpredictable world.
