Europe's security is threatened beyond Ukraine, said Pfister in an interview published in Sunday's SonntagsZeitung newspaper.

He described the intrusion into Polish airspace as a“violation of the territorial integrity of a European state”.

“The reactions of the European states show that they are taking the threat very seriously,” said the minister, because with such actions, the risk of escalation increases.

Identical scenario unlikely

According to the government, an identical scenario for Switzerland is not very likely, if only because of its geographical location. If it did happen, however, the Swiss air defence system would not be able to repel such drones, said Pfister.
