After the Ukrainian army continued to hunt and kill Russian Aerospace Forces fighters in the Avdiivka direction, shooting down 14 of them in half a month, forcing Russian fighters in the region not to dare to make any more sorties, better news also came.
On March 3, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico announced that Italy plans to withdraw its Samp T air defense system from Slovakia, which was temporarily transferred to the country last year for 1 year to replace the American Patriot air defense system, with Italy giving the reason that air defense is needed elsewhere.
I received a notification from the Italian ** that the Italian air defense system, which they lent us for a year, would be withdrawn from Slovakia, because they needed it elsewhere (......I asked, "Lord, who will defend our country?" Protection of nuclear power plants and other strategic objectives? ”
First of all, the last ** provided Ukraine with a set of large Russian S-300 air defense systems that worked. And then the American 'patriots' stayed here for a while, they also left, and now the Italian ones will also go. ”
In the face of Europe and the United States, Slovakia is indeed confused.
Since you are pro-Putin, doesn't that mean that Putin should not at least invade you Slovakia? Of course, ridicule aside, Slovakia and Russia are not neighbors, they are also members of NATO, and there is no threat of Russian fighters and missiles for the time being, after all, Russia cannot directly invade Slovakia beyond NATO countries.
And Slovakia itself handed over all the MiG-29 to Ukraine, its air defense protection is provided by NATO countries such as the Czech Republic, even if Slovakia is not benevolent, NATO cannot be unjust, For the current Slovakia, it is not the same as Hungary, the former Slovakia** The assistance to Ukraine is comparable to that of the Czech Republic, Poland and other countries, and now this **, one is indeed pro-Russian, and the other does think that there is no hope of victory for Ukraine, and no hope of victory can only be forbearing, This is also how the Slovaks survived during the Nazis and Soviet rule, and it is also the helplessness of small countries.
In the current situation of sudden pressure on the air defense of Europe, it is only natural for Italy to transfer the SAMP T air defense system to other areas of weak air defense, and the most important place to go, of course, should be Ukraine. Previously, Italy and France provided Ukraine with 1 set of SAMP T air defense systems, compared to the reputation of the Patriot, the record of the SAMP T air defense system is unknown, but after all, this is the top air defense system in Europe, in addition to being comparable to the Patriot, is it that Ukraine has recently hunted Russian fighters one after another, and there is the credit of the SAMP T air defense system?
