(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 10 - "The Russian air force and navy are targeting Ukrainian power plants and many civil infrastructures. In the face of this situation, the American Congress has approved the sending of the Patriot system, i.e. the flagship of US anti-aircraft defence.
Therefore, it cannot be excluded that Italy too can move along this line, for example with the Italian-French program system (SAMP-T Sol-Air Moyenne-Portee/Terrestre) for ground-to-air defence".
This was stated by the Undersecretary of Defense Matteo Perego of Cremnago.
