Switzerland Maintains Extensive Network of Over 370,000 Nuclear Bunkers

Switzerland, known for its neutral stance, has more than 370,000 nuclear bomb shelters across the country. Rather than dismantling its Cold War-era network of bomb shelters, Switzerland has continued to expand and maintain these facilities. Some of these shelters have been repurposed to provide housing for migrants.

This extensive shelter system reflects Switzerland's unique approach to civil defense, preserving infrastructure that many other nations have abandoned since the Cold War.
