German arms dealer blocked from selling Swiss weapons

3 years ago by Ninmi to c/europe

Switzerland will no longer approve arms exports of a German dealer who sent Swiss-made armoured vehicles to Ukraine.

Only selling arms to countries when they are at peace no matter what is insane, imho. What is everybody supposed to do with Swiss weapons? Put them in display cabinets for show? No one buys the entire equipment for a protracted war in advance, no?

I have a feeling this might affect the long-term prospects of Swiss arms manufacturers.
