Ukraine to receive second SAMP/T air defense system from Italy by end of September,
In a recent statement, Italy's Defense Minister Guido Crosetto confirmed that Ukraine will be supplied with a second SAMP/T air defense system from Italy by the end of September, according to RAI News.
"By the end of this month, the new SAMP/T system will be delivered to Ukraine, and we understand the importance of timely delivery," Crosetto emphasized during his speech at the European Trade Conference on Air and Missile Defense.
Earlier, Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani confirmed that the Ministry of Defense is preparing to send the second SAMP/T air defense system to Ukraine.
Last year, Ukraine received its first SAMP/T air defense system from France and Italy. These systems are considered to have certain advantages over the American Patriot systems.
