How Gepard System Terminates Kamikaze Drones in Ukraine?

#shorts The Gepard is equipped with two 35mm Oerlikon KDA autocannons, establishing it as one of the most potent self-propelled anti-aircraft guns globally. No missile, no mortar can evade the Gepard’s relentless destruction. But its true specialty lies in countering drones.

Flakpanzer never got its day to shine during the Cold war. Now it's a star.

I told my girlfriend I was going to see cheetahs, tigers, elephants, panthers. She thought I was going to the zoo!

I was stationed or deployed to Poland with the Army and worked alongside the Romanians and Croatians at the joint base I was at, got to spin around in one of these things that was nicknamed Zeus, these turrets are super fast and seeing these thing shoot at night is like watching Star Wars

As a German I really wish we would have kept them instead of taking all of them out of service so that we were only able to give about 40 to Ukraine.. They prove to be very useful tofay.

Germany in 2022: "We should be embarrassed! We are delivering a weapon system created in the 1960s, the world will be laughing at us"
Germany in 2023:

Gepard to all aerial threats: YOU SHALL NOT PASS.

As a war thunder player this would be a menace against bmp's and weakspots

[gerhaldlaubscher]

Germans know how to make anti aircraft weapons.

It's crazy seeing them fire at night, cuz every tracer round you visibly see there are 3-5 non-illuminated rounds in between.

Taking into account how old these systems are, it's astonishing how well they perform in modern days.

I have seen this beast in action. I am from Finland. Year 2003 when I was doing my military service( I am second lieutenant in reserve, antiaircraft-infantry liaison officer).
We had routine, huge antiaircraft exercise in middle Finland. There, with many other that time aa arsenal Finland had, I had priviledge to see this one in action, how it spread huge smoke cloud around it for protect. But when it leash the max attack firing...Wow..😅❤

Hi I am German. As I learned about these tanks I heard they simply were obselete in the eyes of our defense strategy. Since these AA tanks relises to much on tank operators. Meaning a lot of money needs to be spend into training and maintaining them. Since Germans doctrine was always only defending its allies and borders they shifted to more stationary installments. It also meant fewer operators, since they can be operated from far distances like drones. But its great that our cats still show their potential in actual warfare, since during Cold War they really never seen actual action.

Hello, I am Ukrainian. And I want to declare that for the first time in my life I have heard that the "Cheetah" anti-aircraft self-propelled gun is called the "Dragon"
Nevertheless, I want to thank the people of Germany for these wonderful pieces of equipment, because they have made a serious contribution to the protection of our skies

When Brazil bought it they said it was cold war rubbish.

[horndogfred]

1100 rounds per minute doesn't sound impressive until you realize that this beast shoots 30mm explosive flak rounds. Imagine 200 bear bottles loaded with explosive flying at you with incredibly accuracy.

Edit: Yes it's 35mm, y'all can stop correcting me now. The first time it was helpful, the 15th time it was so fucking unnecessary.

[MrWasGehtSieDasAn]

Shooting down the Iranian drones is not that difficult for the Gepard.
In fact it is extremely easy, because for the Gepard, they are no different than the target practice drones that were previously used for the Gepard in shooting exercises in the German army.

One of the coolest military vehicles/weapons ever.

[lighthousevant.b.]

In German Army we named this Tank " God of Hellfire "

[earlwheeler]

German military has a fascination with cat names for their armored vehicles 😅
