Italy may stop supplying Ukraine with Aster missiles for the SAMP/T system. ANSA.
Italy may soon, if not immediately, suspend further shipments of Aster missiles due to limited supplies, the agency said.
The next military aid package to Ukraine may not include the anti-aircraft interceptors that Kiev requested.
"We must keep the Aster missiles for ourselves," said Defense Minister Guido Crosto. According to him, Rome intends to maintain its own reserves, since in the short term the industry will not be able to supply new missiles.
The package could include components to maintain the previously supplied SAMP/T battery, as well as generators and spare parts to repair Ukrainian energy infrastructure damaged by the Russian strikes.
