Italian air defense systems SAMP-T will be deployed in Ukraine in April

Long-range SAMP-T air defense systems will be deployed in Ukraine in April.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy announced that the Italian long-range air defense systems SAMP-T designated for delivery to Ukraine will be deployed on the territory of Ukraine in two months. This is due to the fact that at the moment Italian specialists are training the Ukrainian military in the use of these air defense systems.

According to official data, Italy will transfer to Ukraine one battery of SAMP-T systems, which includes four mobile launchers, each of which carries 8 anti-aircraft guided missiles with a target engagement range of about 100 kilometers. The latter, as expected, will have to seriously increase the effectiveness of the national air defense system of Ukraine, since they will be able to hit targets long before the latter reach the end point of the strike.

How effective the Italian SAMP-T air defense systems can be in Ukraine is still unknown, however, given the fact that the latter can be integrated with other NATO air defense systems, this could increase the ability of the Armed Forces to control their airspace.
