# Zelenskyy confirms: Ukraine will be the first to receive French SAMP/TNG systems by the end of the year

Ukraine will become the first country to receive new, enhanced SAMP/TNG anti-ballistic missile systems from France before the end of the current year. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while commenting on the development of military cooperation with European partners.

### Accelerated deliveries and new systems

According to the head of state, Paris will provide Kyiv with two SAMP/T systems this year to significantly strengthen the air defense system. Simultaneously, France and Italy will accelerate the delivery schedule for Aster 30 missiles, with their arrival moved to October of this year.

"France will also provide two SAMP/T systems to strengthen our defense already this year. At the same time, France and Italy will accelerate the delivery of Aster 30 missiles by October of this year," Zelenskyy emphasized.

### Licenses for the production of precision weapons

A key point in the negotiations was Ukraine obtaining licenses to produce "very serious weapons." The list of transferred technologies includes:

    - SCALP cruise missiles;

    - AASM air-to-surface missiles;

    - Aster 30 missiles (jointly with Italy).

This decision paves the way for the localization of precision munitions production, which is critical for the country's long-term defense capabilities.

### The FREYJA Coalition and the future of air defense

Zelenskyy also noted that France will cooperate with Ukraine and other partners within the framework of the FREYJA anti-ballistic program — a project the president called "our special future force".

The initiative was officially announced on July 13 at a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing in Paris. Ten European countries, including Ukraine, joined it. Coalition members will coordinate efforts to develop missile defense systems and create new means for intercepting ballistic missiles.

### Outlook: Rafale fighters and long-term partnership

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that Paris will transfer Rafale fighters to Kyiv and provide the opportunity to produce modern missiles and air bombs. According to the plan, the first French fighters will begin performing tasks in the Ukrainian sky in 2028–2029.

Thus, Ukraine is not only receiving operational assistance in the form of ready-made air defense systems but is also laying the foundation for its own future defense industry.
