Quote from Oleshchuk: "I sincerely thank the Governments of France and Italy for their decision regarding the provision of SAMP/T-Mamba anti-aircraft systems to protect Ukraine from Russian missile terror and strengthen the country's air defence. 

I immediately decided to send the necessary number of units of anti-aircraft missile forces for training. And they are already on their way.

We are looking forward to our specialists, because in the spring they will return to Ukraine not empty-handed, but with knowledge, skills and the SAMP/T-Mamba systems themself."
