The Marder, made by German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall (RHMG.DE), uses ammunition manufactured in Switzerland, the paper said. Switzerland restricts the re-export of such war materiel to conflict zones.

I don't get this?
How can a so called neutral country be in the arms manufacturing business?

What's neutral about that?

So what if Germany gets in another war? They stop supplying it?
