Italy is poised to announce transferring a second SAMP/T MAMBA air defense system to Ukraine.
The transfer was first reported by the daily La Repubblica. Previously deployed to Slovakia as part of a NATO mission, this system will soon be transferred to the Ukrainian armed forces.
Italy’s next support package reportedly includes the SAMP/T MAMBA, Stinger man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS), and SCALP-EG/Storm Shadow long-range missiles. The details of the aid package, including the SAMP/T system, are expected to be finalized by mid-June 2024 before being ratified by the Italian Parliament.
