say goodbye to cheap Swiss GPS receivers.
They are mostly being used inside your cheap kamikaze drones, if not Chinese receivers.
Edit: Either I get morons that can’t read, or US/Israeli bots downvoting me.
Switzerland has a major GPS receiver manufacturer that the majority of the industrial UAV world is using right now, because they are affordable.
This kind of neutrality requires a backbone. Good for them, good for them.
Misleading title. No « new » arms exports and by that they only mean no new licences to export. Current licences are still allowed to export (but will be reviewed), based on the article.
This is no different than when they refused to let 35mm ammo be sold to Ukraine.
Because everyone knows arms are only used for peace.

Watch the Rolex tariffs go up, kek.
Very important step.
You don’t have to agree with the Swiss neutrality policies.
But the fact that they are also enacted against the world’s biggest superpower and their vengeful tyrant at least shows that those policies are based on principles and are not suddenly up for negotiation just because they could offend a powerful and important trade partner.
Probably has nothing to do with what the US is actually doing but they rather just saw that their weapons were being used to fight a war and said “nah”
