NATO Allies’ Support Grows for Ukrainian Strikes in Russia. Some NATO member states are opposed, however. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said that “for Italy, it is impossible to use our weapons outside of Ukraine”.

Remember : for russia, it s not impossible to use weapon on Italy.
Unfortunately, the article 11 of the italian constitution explictly forbids Italy to go to war or even just to attack the territory of an hostile nation like Russia (even indirectly with italian weapons given to Ukraine despite they are clearly fighting a defensive war for their own survival) UNLESS Italy itself is directly under attack first (or a NATO ally is directly under attack I guess, but I am not 100% sure about this either).
For some reason this article of the italian constitution about war was written as extremely restrictive after the fascist period and should probably be changed now (although it can’t be changed). because I am pretty sure even the constitutions of Germany and Japan aren’t so harsh and restrictive about war and the movements of their own armies and weapons despite both of them were certainly more powerful and dangerous nations than Italy during WW2 for the Allies, but despite this Italy is apparently the Axis nation that was militarily penalized the most after the war in its republican constitution.
What do we expect from the same guys that were allies to the Nazi’s.
What do you expect from a nation that has never mass-produced a decent car?
Another page from The Big Book of Italian War Heroes, the only book ever published without pages
They can put a Dutch flag on Italian weapons
Maybe Italian equipment is just shit?
