Elege lett a világ egyik leggazdagabb országának Amerikából: bukhatnak a fegyverüzletek 😔
Cikk tartalma röviden
Martin Pfister, the Swiss defense minister, announced the possibility of contract termination in the Federal Council, acknowledging that the conditions for cancellation are currently unclear. Switzerland expects to receive the systems, but the timeline is uncertain. Meanwhile, Washington is coordinating with Bern on various scenarios. The U.S. has deprioritized Swiss Patriot shipments to prioritize urgent supplies to Ukraine, leading to delays. Switzerland's patience is wearing thin, as it has frozen Patriot payments and believes the U.S. has reallocated Swiss funds for Patriot production, affecting other contracts. The total cost of the Patriot acquisition may rise by 50%, reaching approximately 3 billion Swiss francs. If the liquidity of the Swiss FMS account falls critically low, projects could be suspended or terminated, impacting the entire Swiss-American FMS portfolio.
