"The Ukrainian military ... claimed that SAMP-T has had difficulty destroying ballistic missiles from the very beginning," the publication writes, referring to the Ukrainian military's complaints about the French-Italian air defense system.
At the same time, as WSJ notes, the consortium producing SAMP-T, Eurosam, which includes Thales (France) and MBDA (a transnational corporation), claims that this air defense system has a number of characteristics that are superior to the U.S. Patriot systems.
In particular, Eurosam representatives pointed to a new radar that rotates once per second and covers the sky for more than 350 kilometers.
“Patriot has nothing like this,” said Eurosam military consultant Eric Tabacchi.
We will remind, earlier Russian air defense systems overnight destroyed 122 Ukrainian drones. Meanwhile, Trump “changed course” and agreed with the NATO plan for Ukraine.
