Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said
Tuesday that Italy had ordered 10 new-generation Samp/T missile
defence systems.
"We are also improving the Aster (programme)," he said,
stressing that "it's just a start but we are already behind
because we are ready to live the challenge of these times.
"We are slow because we live in a world built on democratic
systems which when compared with authoritarian ones are
necessarily losers".
