France has ordered four SAMP/T NG air defense systems The Armaments Administration of the French Ministry of Defense has announced the conclusion of a contract with the European company Eurosam for the production and supply of four SAMP/T NG anti-aircraft missile systems, intended for the organization of air defense and missile defense of important military and civil infrastructure facilities. Thus, the total number of systems ordered increased from 8 to 12 units. The development of the SAMP/T NG (New Generation) was officially launched in 2021 as a joint French-Italian project. The complex is supposed to replace the SAMP/T versions, which have been in service since the early 2000s. SAMP/T NG is designed to use the entire line of Aster missile defense systems, in particular the redesigned Aster 30 B1 and the latest Aster 30 B1NT (block 1 new technology).
