Italy has announced a new package of military aid to Ukraine, which includes the SAMP/T air and missile defense system. This is the third battery of this complex that Ukraine has received.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto announced this for the parliamentary security committee on May 18.
In addition to the SAMP/T, Italy will provide:
- 400 M113 armored personnel carriers
- artillery ammunition
- satellite support for monitoring the movement of russian troops.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in mid-March, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera wrote, citing sources, that Ukraine had asked France and Italy to urgently provide Aster-30 missiles, which are used in SAMP/T air defense systems.
