The Federal Council has submitted a supplementary budget request of 970 million francs to improve air defense. This request is justified by an intensified threat landscape that necessitates a more rapid enhancement of defensive measures.

Additionally, 100 million francs are to be invested in self-protection. These measures are part of the Federal Council's strategy to increase security in the air defense sector.
