Swiss executive approves return of Leopard 2 tanks to Germany.

Switzerland's executive branch has supported a proposal to decommission 25 out-of-service Leopard 2 battle tanks and re-export them to Germany to help plug gaps in Berlin's arsenal after it shipped tanks of its own to Ukraine. The tanks would be sent only on condition that they would be returned to manufacturer Rheinmetall and not go to Ukraine. The move comes as Switzerland grapples with its adherence to neutrality, which bars the export of Swiss-made or Swiss-owned weaponry or war material to combatants in active conflicts.
