The Bundesrat succumbs to pressure from abroad. Now the state government suddenly also supports the National Council’s Security Policy Commission (SiK-N) proposal to decommission 25 Leopard 2 main battle tanks. This is a precondition for being able to pass on tanks. Germany in particular had asked Switzerland to take over some of the tanks mothballed in eastern Switzerland. They have to replace tanks that Berlin had supplied to the Ukraine.
Accordingly, the state government on Wednesday authorized Defense Minister Viola Amherd (60) to support the decommissioning of the tanks in parliamentary debates on the army message, he said. The National Council will be the first council to decide during the upcoming summer session.
96 decommissioned Army Leopard 2 main battle tanks are stored in Switzerland. The National Council Security Policy Committee (SIK-N) is asking the Grand Chamber to remove 25 of these tanks from service. A small majority in the committee only wants that if the tanks of the German manufacturer are sold back.
The Federal Council now writes that the army itself needs 71 of these 96 tanks. The remaining 25 could be sold without endangering self-sufficiency.
