If anyone has any shares in Swiss weapons manufacturers, I suggest you sell them now because no country is going to buy anything else from them.

I'm afraid I'm too busy trying to sell my shares of Russian weapons manufacturers.

America should renege on the sale of F-35s to them, then.

At least put the deal in the backburner and speed others before them.

Do you think that anyone is brave enough to tell him that signing a contract is one thing. Finding the money to pay for it is another. Getting the technology together is a third and finally training the pilots to fly them is another.

I admit I wouldn't

Speaking of blocking arms for Ukraine.

Limited understanding in Madrid of Swiss neutrality Bern vetoes Spanish arms delivery to Ukraine Spain wants to deliver military material to Ukraine, but is prevented from doing so by Switzerland.…

Spain should sent the arms anyway and tell the swiss to go and f•ck themselves.

Doesn't work if Spain still wants ongoing support from the Swiss.

We're like the Borg, you come to us, be it Vikings, Romans, Saxons, Pakistanis, Ugandans, Albanians, etc. we will assimilate you. Resistance is futile.

Contrarily to the common belief, the King of England is not Duke of Normandy.
As all Normans know, the Duke of Normandy is King of England.

And if Spain wants things like spares?

Speaking of the Spanish items blocked, I suspect they are either the Oerlikon-Contraves GDF-005 35/90 35 mm Anti-aircraft systems or the ammunition for.

Considering that the amount of Swiss made equipment in Spanish service is small compared to he number of equipment purchased from other countries, I say go for it, send the gear to Ukraine anyway.

What's Switzerland going to do, go to Ukraine and take it back?

 

[RogerdeLluria]

The article didn't say what the equipment was, but checking equipment made by Switzerland finds that Spain has several Swiss made AFVs: Piranha III and Piranha V - Spain also is a user of Swiss made shouldered weapons, too.

I'll add as plausible the Oerlikon 35 mm twin cannon towed anti-aircraft gun.
Or maybe just the 35 mm ammo to be used by the Ukrainian guepards.

Canada buying Patriots for Ukraine. I'm guessing they should arrive in, oh I don't know, 2034.
