Switzerland starts talks to acquire non-US air defence system
Switzerland has begun contract negotiations with France, Israel, and South Korea for a second air defence system due to delays in its U.S. Patriot missile order. The U.S. systems, ordered in 2022 for delivery by 2026-2028, were delayed by four to five years because of the Ukraine war.
