Earlier it was reported that Italy will transfer batteries of the SAMP / T anti-aircraft missile system to Ukraine.

SAMP/T is an effective system primarily against cruise and anti-radar missiles, large drones, and also has limited anti-missile capabilities (against short-range missiles).

Recall that during a missile attack on January 14, Ukrainian air defense destroyed 18 out of 28 Russian missiles.. However, the X-22 missile hit a high-rise building in a densely populated microdistrict of the Dnieper, as a result of the collapse of two entrances, 29 people have died to date. The Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that they do not have fire weapons capable of hitting missiles of this type. Therefore, the command hopes that Ukraine will receive Patriot PAC-3 and SAMP-T air defense systems..
