How SAMP/T Defends Ukraine Against Russia's Missile and Drone Attacks

Since the onset of the war, Kyiv has fortified its defenses with an array of air defense systems, including German IRIS-T batteries, Hawk anti-missile systems, Avenger, and Patriot units. The latest addition to Ukraine's surface-to-air missile (SAM) inventory is the Franco-Italian SAMP/T air defense system. This system is capable of countering a wide spectrum of airborne threats, including cruise missiles, both manned and unmanned aircraft, and tactical ballistic missiles with a range class of up to 372 miles (600 km).

SAMP/T is composed of a fire control system that uses the ARABEL multi-function electronic scanning radar and a Vertical Ground Launcher. .
The SAMP/T MAMBA launcher vehicle is equipped with eight missile containers ready for launch, situated at the truck's rear. Each missile can be fired in a salvo from a single launcher in under ten seconds.
The ARABEL is an X-Band 3D multi-function radar designed for surveillance, target tracking, and missile guidance. It features a rectangular phased array antenna with 4,000 elements. This system is capable of tracking up to 100 targets at once and transmitting guidance commands to 16 missiles simultaneously.

Designed for versatility, the radar system can be used in a mobile land configuration, such as the primary ground sensor for a medium-range surface-to-air missile, or in a naval setup.
The SAMP/T employs an Aster 30 Block 1 missile which features a re-engineered seeker, fuse, signal processing, and a directional explosive warhead that focuses the larger shrapnel towards the target.
