Original Note:
While its long-standing neutrality plays a role, this post is misleading because the main reason given by the Swiss government is that this sale would violate existing law. https://www.admin.ch/gov/en/start/documentation/media-releases/media-releases-federal-council.msg-id-96172.html Art. 22, FLMG, prohibits the transfer of war materiel to any country involved in an armed conflict. https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/1998/794_794_794/en#art_22
