ZURICH (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th November, 2022) Switzerland will hold PILUM 22 drills involving 5,000 soldiers next week, the first military drills of such scale in 33 years, the Swiss government said on Friday.
According to the Swiss authorities, the exercises will be held from November 22-29 in the cantons of Bern, Solothurn, Aargau, Lucerne, and Zurich.
