What does it mean
“These are two batteries (NASAMS – ed), which will soon become part of the Italian Air Force. A battery can have from two to 9 launchers. We hope that as many of these batteries as possible will serve to block as large a section possible of the front, “Ignat said.
He also noted that “Ukraine already has NASAMS, one is from Germany so far and he himself is bored.”
“He needs the help of the Western complexes. We also expect IRIS-T before the end of the year,” added Ignat.
