Deliveries were set begin in 2026 and go through 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. foreign military process, which governs the sale, makes the diversion of defense goods possible, the Swiss announcement notes. No information was available about how many systems would be affected and what the new timing for future deliveries would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Switzerland\u2019s Patriot pick was part of a lengthy air-defense and air-policing review by the government that also led to an order of 36 U.S. F-35 fighter aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, the United States told Switzerland that a batch of ordered PAC-3 MSE interceptors, the most advanced interceptors fireable with Patriot, would similarly be diverted to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2025\/07\/16\/germany-requests-us-long-range-weapons-as-bridge-to-european-tech\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2025\/07\/16\/germany-requests-us-long-range-weapons-as-bridge-to-european-tech\/\">Germany this week<\/a> offered to buy two Patriot systems from the U.S. and give them to Ukraine. One Patriot setup costs roughly $1 billion, depending on the number of interceptors, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said during a visit to Washington on July 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Details for the purchase are now under discussion with the U.S. administration, Pistorius said following talks with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Outstanding questions surrounding the transaction are all \u201csolvable,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at the LandEuro conference in Wiesbaden, Germany, on July 17, top NATO commander U.S. Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2025\/07\/17\/top-nato-commander-rushing-to-deliver-fresh-patriots-to-ukraine\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2025\/07\/17\/top-nato-commander-rushing-to-deliver-fresh-patriots-to-ukraine\/\">signaled a new dynamic in supplying Kyiv with the defensive weapons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grynkewich said he would bring European nations together to work on delivering Patriot and other capabilities to Ukraine. The idea is to \u201clook at what\u2019s the art of the possible\u201d in orchestrating the flow of new production equipment to Ukraine\u2019s defense, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The statement by the Swiss illuminates some of the hasty mechanics behind Washington\u2019s newfound emphasis on helping Ukraine repel
