In the 1980s, Switzerland acquired Rapier surface-to-air missiles. Almost 50 years later it was decided to dispose of them.
Switzerland began decommissioning Rapier in 2022, although the air defence systems were modernized in 2007. A total of 60 surface-to-air missile systems will be scrapped in four phases. The first batch has already been destroyed.
Switzerland will adhere to a policy of neutrality.
The surface-to-air missile system was developed by the British Aircraft Corporation in the 1960s. So it passed its time.
How much weapons have been decommissioned here in the USA? for what's worth.
