Italy will transfer SIDAM-25 air defense systems to Ukraine, enhancing short-range drone defense capabilities. The exact number of units remains undisclosed, but it includes enough vehicles for at least three air defense batteries.

The SIDAM-25, based on the M113A1 armored personnel carrier, features four 25 mm cannons and requires refurbishment before deployment. This initiative is part of a broader Italian military aid package to Ukraine, which includes various air defense systems and artillery support.
