“Because President Zelensky’s rather uncompromising swindle, and the Italians confirmed to us that the viconati is ready. With this rank, we can satisfy our needs,” the ambassador said.
The SAMP-T anti-aircraft missile system is being developed by the French-Italian company Eurosam. Its key components are the Aster 30 missile and the richly functional Arabel radar.
This is a ground-based system of the “povitrya-povitrya” class. The range of detection of targets should be up to 80 km. SAMs have a minimum reaction time and a high rate of fire: 8 missiles can be launched in 10 seconds.
Basically, the system is composed of several launch vehicles, the Thales Arabel multi-functional radar with the “friend or foe” identification system, an attack module based on a command and control machine and a car electric generator.
In addition, the launchers are accompanied by two helicopters with spare missiles for reloading.
Among other characteristics of the system:
- Aircraft drop distance: 100+ km;
- Range of drop of ballistic missiles: up to 30-35 km;
- Target height: up to 25 km;
- Weight of combat part of an anti-aircraft missile: 15–20 kg.
In total, two donor countries have 60 such complexes: France has 40, Italy has 20 alone.
The main role of SAMP-T is the causal agent of the fired military installations and objects of critical infrastructure. France victorious system for the defense of their air bases. For the help of SAMP/T, you can shoot down airfoils and missiles, including missiles and anti-radiolocations.
Let’s guess, that in the same time the order of Ukraine, having submitted to Italy, applied for the acquisition of SAMP-T software systems.
