The Swiss government will continue to withhold payments to the United States for a Patriot missile system order until Washington provides binding delivery dates, adding that terminating the purchase is an option, it said on Wednesday.

So US needs Patriots for the war in Iran and started redirecting production there. The order placed and paid for by Switzerland was delayed indefinitely.
Switzerland stopped paying for the order until they can get new delivery date from USA.
USA simply took the money Switzerland paid for F-35 and redirected them to pay for production of Patriots.
So if I get this right, Switzerland will not get Patriots nor F-35s and US will just use its money to pay for war in Iran.
Now Switzerland says that they may just cancel the order which will probably mean they will lose the money they already paid and get nothing.
