Italy To Send Second Air Defence System To Ukraine
- Italy will send a second SAMP/T air defence system to Ukraine, its foreign minister said in a radio interview, responding to Kyiv’s pleas for greater help to fend off Russian missile attacks.

- Rome and Paris jointly delivered a first system in 2023, but in recent months Ukraine has repeatedly called on partners to provide more help with air defence as it faces an increasing barrage of attacks on cities and energy infrastructure.
- Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Italy has approved eight support packages to the government of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Tajani said the SAMP/T will be part of a ninth package under preparation but did not give a time frame for delivery.

- The Nagpur district court on Monday handed life imprisonment to former BrahMos Aerospace Pvt Ltd engineer Nishant Agarwal under the Official Secrets Act for spying for Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI.
- Agarwal will also have to undergo rigorous imprisonment (RI) for 14 years and was also fined ₹3,000.
- Additional sessions court judge MV Deshpande stated in the order that Agarwal was convicted under section 235 of the Criminal Procedure Code for an offence punishable under section 66 (f) of the IT Act and various sections of the Official Secrets Act (OSA).
- Agarwal, who worked in the technical research section of the company’s missile centre in Nagpur, was arrested in 2018 in a joint operation by military intelligence and the Anti-Terrorism Squads (ATS) of Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
- The former BrahMos Aerospace engineer was charged under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the stringent OSA.
- Having been employed at the BrahMos facility for four years, he was accused of leaking sensitive technical information to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
- BrahMos Aerospace is a joint venture between the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Military Industrial Consortium (NPO Mashinostroyenia) of Russia.
- Agarwal was granted bail by the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court last April, after nearly five years in jail.
- The high court had observed that tardy progress in the trial violated fundamental rights of the accused no matter how stringent the bail norms under the law which he has been arrested may be.
- The Nagpur bench in its order had observed that gross delay in disposal of the case can justify invocation of Article 21 of the Constitution. Article 21 says no individual can be deprived of life or liberty except with the procedure laid down in the law.
