Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced that Italy will be sending a second SAMP/T air defense system to Ukraine, as reported by Reuters.
The SAMP/T, also known as MAMBA, is a joint Franco-Italian air defense battery capable of tracking numerous targets and intercepting up to 10 at once. Notably, it is the sole European system with the capability to intercept ballistic missiles.
The first SAMP/T system was delivered to Ukraine in 2023 through a collaborative effort between Rome and Paris.
