“Switzerland has paid an advance of…$617 million…to the United States for the purchase of F‑35A fighter jets…” The full, fly-away price of about seven F-35s. Actual F-35s delivered: zero, of course. https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-politics/switzerland-has-made-an-advance-payment-of-500-million-for-the-f-35s/91663010

(The Swiss decided to withhold some payments for Patriot stuff that they’re also not getting, but the Americans think that makes the Swiss behind on their payments for everything, including, maybe, F-18 maintenance parts.)
