Yeah, Poland might as well export whatever Swiss arms they currently have to Ukraine . It isn't like Poland is going to buy more Swiss arms that can't be used against against their largest geopolitical threat.

Seriously though, Swiss arms cannot be used in war. What a dumb situation the Swiss put themselves in.

Edit: Perun did a great video on this: Global Arms Exports - Winners, losers & trends in the race to rearm. In these times of global arms shortages, arms export business is booming. With the exception of Russian and Swiss arms (though, Russia's arms are booming in a different way ;p).
