In addition to the SAMP-T anti-aircraft missile complex, Italy will also provide Ukraine with Skyguard air defense systems.

This was stated by Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Maloni at a press conference in Kyiv, writes Ukrinform.

"The SAMP-T air defense system is very important, but the new aid package also includes other air defense systems — Skyguard and Spada. Today, the strategic goal is to protect critical infrastructure," Maloney said.

In addition, Italy handed over generators for civilians and will help Ukraine to demine the territory.

  • At the Ramstein meeting on February 14, the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands announced that they would provide Patriot systems, while France and Italy would provide SAMP/T.
  • Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military, who will be the first to master the Franco-Italian air defense systems SAMP-T, have already gone abroad for training.
