Italy to send Ukraine more SAMP/T interceptors
Italy’s government is preparing its 13th military aid package for Ukraine, which will include interceptor missiles for the Franco–Italian SAMP/T air defense system, La Repubblica reported on Aug. 26.
Italy is set to send Ukraine additional SAMP/T interceptors as part of its 13th military aid package, according to a report by La Repubblica on Aug. 26. The decision was reportedly made in secret, with the Italian government only officially announcing the provision of civilian power generators to support Ukraine's population. Italy plans to transfer some of its existing Aster 30 missiles to Ukraine by October, while also providing a license for the localized production of the newer Aster 30 B1NT missiles.
France is also expected to deliver a SAMP/T system and new air defense radars to Ukraine this fall, with plans to produce additional Aster 30 missiles through a contract that is set to be finalized in September.
