The Italian government is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine that will include a SAMP/T medium-range air defense system, La Repubblica reported on May 2.
The Italian newspaper said that the air defense system Italy plans to deliver was deployed in Slovakia. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said in March that Rome decided to pull back the system from his country, without clarifying the reason.
The military aid package will also allegedly include American-made Stinger man-portable air defense systems, La Repubblica wrote.
The newspaper reported that the package should be presented by the upcoming Group of Seven, G7, summit in Italy, which will begin on June 13.
Italy has only five SAMP/T batteries. Last year, it supplied a system to Ukraine in cooperation with France. The system was destroyed, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The air defense system, which was developed by the France-based Eurosam, is armed with Aster-30 radar homing interceptors originally developed for naval vessels with a range of up to 120 kilometers. The system utilizes THALES’s ARABEL multifunction fire control X-band radar which has a range of 100 kilometers.
The system can counter an array of airborne threats including manned and unmanned aircraft, and is said to be especially effective against cruise missiles.
The Kiev regime has for months now been asking for more air defense to bolster Ukrainian air defenses in the face of increasing Russian drone and missile attacks. Last month, Germany said that it would provide Ukraine with one more American-made MIM-104 Patriot long-range system.
The additional Patriot and SAMP/T systems will not likely make any difference whatsoever. Closing Ukrainian air space is very much impossible due to the advanced intelligence and offensive capabilities of the Russian military.

a big shame. italy was always a friend of russia (even during the time of soviet union), but now they also mutated into a us slave. disgusting vassal. now you are also a target.
you are referring to the communism fascism connection? soviet thieving system, and italy hyper inflation? don’t be ridiculous, italy is a sovereign state and not a u.s. slave state as you claim. where do you get these insane ideas from.
he is right: fiat had factories in the ussr, so go to hell son of a crack whore. and btw italy of today is a us doormat. so die already btch
the soviet system bought the fiat production line of model 126. if you weren’t a communism politician you would wait a couple of years to get the car delivered. the quality was low in comparison to most standard cars produced in the rest of the world. i don’t understand why you are so defensive.
the cia stole the italian election in 1948. are you aware of a point at which the us relenquished this control in italy? would it be during the height of the nato false flags of gladio during the years of lead/strategy of tension? thanks for derping.
can you present the harm made in italy by nato, i have seen no signs. the support of castro, venezuela military, several dictatorship countries in africa from moscow are visibly worse. is that nato doing it from moscow?
no. there was no harm done to italy when the cia stole the election in 1948. there was no harm done when the cia/mi6 gladio operation committed false flag terror acts in italy during the seventies. there is no accounting for taste, particulary with a retarded shitpile like you, but there is nothing worse than the us-installed african dictators. they’re worse than the us-installed dictators in latin america. asshole.
he’s living on tv box, university level drag queen story hour where violent heroine trafficking jewish mafia doesn’t exist as a scurge in italy… magical fucking thinking at it’s finest…

samp/t is more modern and better than mim-104 patriot, it’s also cheaper.
and still at level of first variants of s-300. though sponsoring nazism even with hand guns is also a crime against humanity. meloni-criminaloni.
likely to end up with the kraut and uza crap kaputed, particularly in the kast week. it is likely really embarrassing for the hubris-driven killer regimes—likely the uk latest toys prove more of a shadow than a storm.
first they promise peace to got elected, turning tables right after.taking russia out is the only chance they have to stay top dog. this is true, cause brics is on the doorstep and its not only a merging of rapid growing economies, whose alignment stays mercantile only. the united hippos have never lost a world war and that’s why they are all-in for this.
xactly, the jewish counterfieting mafia seens the end of their bullshit babylonian bankers magic game coming… not as fast as khinzal pizza delivery, but there are enough brics in the wall for them to see the writing on it… their magic fraud empire is ending in a blaze of jew slave blood and disgrace…

since russia has been fun in ukraine, german politics and the german press have been playing completely crazy!
world war ii will come, 100,000,000 euros for the “bundeswehr”.

and the tax payers money that was stolen.
