Switzerland's arms industry is having a rough time right now. It's the largest war in Europe since WWII and Switzerland is telling their customers their military equipment and ammo cannot be used in the war. Customers are rightfully wondering what the point of Swiss arms are if they cannot be used and are ordering from other countries instead.

Check out this chart of arms orders and deliveries for 2022-2023. Lots of small countries like South Korea are getting huge boosts in orders; Switzerland isn't anywhere near the top. Screenshot is from Perun's video on the change in global arms exports as a result of Russia's invasion.
