Switzerland to withhold Patriot missile payments to US pending delivery dates

Reuters04-01

BERLIN, April 1 (Reuters) - The Swiss government will continue to withhold payments to the United States for the Patriot missile system until Washington provides binding delivery dates and payment milestones, it said in a statement on Wednesday.

The delivery schedule remains uncertain, said the government.

The government added that it had brought forward a payment related to the F-35A fighter jet to the end of March 2026 to ensure procurement of the aircraft is not jeopardised by decisions concerning the Patriot system.
