Ukraine plans to deploy the SAMP/T NG air defense system within its territory and test it under combat conditions to strengthen its defenses against Russian missile attacks. This step is aimed at increasing Ukraine's existing anti-ballistic missile defense capabilities.
Redaksiya reports that Ukraine aims to incorporate the SAMP/T NG air defense system, jointly produced by France and Italy, into its inventory in 2026 and test it in an active combat zone. This strategy is intended to significantly enhance Ukraine's defense capabilities against ballistic missile threats.
Although detailed information regarding the supply and deployment of the systems has not yet been disclosed, it is emphasized that this initiative is a crucial part of Ukraine's defense strategy. Testing the SAMP/T NG system under combat conditions will allow for the evaluation of its effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
