Switzerland is reassessing its planned purchase of U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems amid mounting delays and uncertainty from Washington. Reports suggest Bern is weighing alternative options, including French SAMP/T and Israeli Arrow systems, after the U.S. reprioritized Patriot deliveries to support Ukraine in 2025. Swiss officials have reportedly expressed frustration over the lack of a firm delivery timeline, with concerns that Washington is no longer prioritizing European commitments. The potential pivot comes as defense costs rise and procurement pressures mount, testing U.S.-Europe defense ties.
