Secret cooperation of three countries: how Skynex was produced for Ukraine, the media

Initially, Ukraine was promised air defense complexes in early 2024, then at the end of 2023. In fact, thanks to the joint actions of Italy, Germany and Switzerland, the Armed Forces received the product earlier than all terms. The Ukrainian army received Skynex air defense system. It was made in conditions of strict secrecy with the help of three countries. About it reports La Repubblica. The Rheinmetall defensive company has made a Skynex PPO complex for Ukraine.

The publication revealed the details of production of air defense system. The whole process was called secret because it was produced in the cooperation of three countries: journalists emphasize that the operation, allowed by the then Mario Dragi government in Italy, is a real revolution. For the first time it was not about the sale of something used or more or less modern, but about the latest high-tech weapons, which was made specifically for the Ukrainian army.

The cost of the order was 194 million euros - 182 per guns and radars, and 12 per production of cars. Supply began to start in January 2024, but it was much earlier. Skynex is now used to combat Russian drones. We will remind, on April 26 Prime Minister Denis Shmigal stated that Skynex is already guarding the Ukrainian sky. Moreover, Kiev and Rome consider the possibility of joint production of components for installations.
