Italy secretly approved a new package of military assistance to Ukraine worth €3 billion, which will include 4 air defense batteries
The Italian government has prepared a new package of military assistance for Ukraine that includes air defense and missile defense systems, Aster interceptor missiles 30 and seven long-range radars, writes La Repubblica.
The package may, in particular, include four SAMP/T NG systems (the European equivalents of the Patriots) and their ammunition.
Some of the Aster missiles 30, according to the publication, are planned to be delivered to Ukraine as early as October. In addition, Italy and France may allow Ukraine to produce Aster interceptors 30 N1BT directly on their territory.
The total cost of the new package is estimated at approximately €3 billion. The final decision is expected to be formalized in Italy’s thirteenth “aid decree” for Ukraine.
