With its tradition of neutrality and unique geography, Switzerland has a long history of designing and building its own weapons. The Panzer 61 was their first tank. It was designed to suit local conditions, which included steep, winding mountain roads and tight railway tunnels. These requirements limited the overall size of the tank.

I grew up in a small town in northern Minnesota. When I was little, they completely rebuilt a 750yd bridge on a main road that went across a lake and goes to the capital and a Guard base. Instead of another concrete girder bridge, they dredged/filled a land bridge across and built a new road. Supposedly so that it could hold tanks. Not only is it one of the larger (~12k) towns near the northern border, but there are a couple Guard armor units up there. Moral of the story, they should widen their tunnels! If they haven't already. Though would be smart/funny to have the only tanks that'll fit in your own tunnels....

Dear CavScout, when we talk Switzerland and (railway)tunnels, we are talking about hundreds and some of them many miles long. There is now way to make them wider...

Looks like the Swiss were able to build far more robust tanks than the Italians did, in World War 2, with similar bridge limitations.
