These missiles are intended for the SAMP-T medium-range anti-aircraft missile system, which France has provided in cooperation with Italy. The announcement was made during a session in the National Assembly, as reported by Le Monde.
Details regarding the quantity of missiles or the timeline for delivery were not disclosed. France is actively working to accelerate the fulfillment of defense orders, aiming to reduce delivery times by half and increase missile production volumes by 50%.
This move is part of France's broader support for Ukraine, which includes the promised delivery of 40 long-range Scalp cruise missiles, designed to be effective in ongoing conflict conditions without compromising France's strategic reserves.
