According to Armasuisse, Switzerland is now participating in the Ammunition Support Partnership (ASP). The partnership, run by the NATO agency NSPA, comprises a portfolio of over 2,000 types of ammunition for land, air and naval forces.<\/p>\n
+ Switzerland and NATO: just flirting or the start of a wild marriage?<\/a><\/p>\n It was further stated that joint procurement would result in significant cost savings and shorter delivery times for the participating countries. As part of the partnership, the NSPA also offers services in the areas of ammunition monitoring, transport and disposal.<\/p>\n With this accession, Swiss industrial firms will also be able to participate in NSPA tenders in future. This will strengthen the security-related technological and industrial base and, consequently, Switzerland\u2019s defence capability. The move is in line with the Federal Council\u2019s armaments policy strategy.<\/p>\n + Is the Swiss weapons industry in danger of misfiring?<\/a><\/p>\n According to the press release, participation is compatible with Switzerland\u2019s neutrality. Should a partner state become involved in an armed conflict, Switzerland would be able to withdraw from the agreement.<\/p>\n Switzerland has been cooperating with the NSPA since 1996. Previous cooperation has centred on air-to-air guided missiles and air defence systems.<\/p>\n \n More<\/p>\n More <\/p>\n Global trade\n <\/p>\n Switzerland forms military purchasing pact with Austria <\/p>\n This content was published on <\/p>\n Jul 7, 2026 <\/p>\n Switzerland to step up cooperation with Austria to buy military equipment. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read more: Switzerland forms military purchasing pact with Austria + How we produce English news<\/a> Articles in this story <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Switzerland joins NATO partnership for the purchase of ammunition Keystone-SDA Switzerland has joined a NATO partnership for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[75,1617,4662,961,1007,50,1008],"class_list":["post-8246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-article","tag-beat-foreign-affairs","tag-beat-war-peace","tag-conflict","tag-latest-news","tag-politics","tag-production-type-deepl-autotranslation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Switzerland](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/nato\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/f64d7581391d507701ec209a00e2900b9b9c4bbe-91706557.jpg\")
