Ukrainian soldiers show off Gepard anti-aircraft gun system

- Ukrainian soldiers protecting skies in the Kyiv region showed anti-aircraft-gun Gepard on Friday (June 30), commenting on its effectiveness.
“This is a universal self-propelled anti-aircraft-gun,” Said Roman, Gepard unit commander, adding that it can intercept both land and airborne targets including Shakhed-type drones and cruise missiles.
The one-and-a-half-month training took place in Germany and was effective, according to Oleksii, the unit’s marksman.
“It (the training) was fast-paced because we had to come back fast and already be trained. We were taught good and we know the equipment well,” he added.
The system is part of a multi-layered air defense network that Ukraine is trying to develop with a range of Western systems to thwart Russian air attacks.
The strikes, which regularly kill civilians, look at least in part aimed at depleting air defense stocks so that fewer systems can be used to protect troops trying to advance under Russian air superiority, Kyiv officials say.
In the month of May alone, Ukraine’s Air Force reported shooting down 149 cruise missiles, 399 drones, seven hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, three ballistic missiles as well as 11 Iskander missiles of two different types.

In the 80s, I sat in a Bo-105 anti-tank helicopter and tried to attack a few Gepards in a maneuver. I always was hit before I could fire at them properly. That thing is a beast.
Did you use BO-105 with HOT ATGM? I remember HOT ATGM has a distance of 4KM, right? Wow, Gepard can reach a helicoptor at 4KM, it is amazing for a SPAAG system.
Technik meine ahnen heute denke ich nicht möglich diese sprünge zu machen denn deutsche werden dezimiert was schlecht für die Welt ist.
Range of kornet E ATGM is 10 km.
The Bo 105 crews were regarded with concern and admiration. This small agile precisely controllable helicopter had a roof mounted sight and could hover and interdict below the tree line and usually got of a couple of missiles without being detected or seen or it being possible to fire at them. I'm glad we had them. That Russian Ka 52 that got waxed by a Ukraine special forces Stugna-P ATGM has all of its sensors mounted low so it had to hover above the tree line.
@@Yourbrightspot "koronet E ATGM is 10 km". Yes and Hellfire Longbow has a range of 11km and can fined its own target. Brimstone, the British version of Hellfire modified for supersonic release, can shoot 20km when attacking ground targets in ground to ground mode. Not only are western missiles not behind, we are ahead. Unfortunately Europe was peaceful (1.2% of GDP defense spending) and industrious and compassionately spending its money on integration Eastern Europe while Russia was Treacherously spending its ill gotten oil wreath on weapons at a rate of 6% of GDP.
-The Gepard's were indeed retired because although they are deadly to 3.5km their range was too short. Unfortunately under the Merkel Government the replacements were not funded nort he side mounted missiles.
What a badass piece of equipment. Freakin German engineering and this was around in the 70’s….SLAVA UKRAINE.

Big thanks to Germany for providing these beasts. Slava Ukraini.
Кошки уже были в тех местах. Все закончилось печально для Германии.Слава Украине в составе России.
As a German I feel a bit proud, that the very old Gepards work fine for the Ukrainian war, defeinding their homes and their people, even if they where designed long long time ago for another war, which -thanks god - never happened.
I think older engineering is some of the best engineering. And older German engineering definitely. Perhaps these Gepards were unknowingly designed for exactly this war.
i think they have been mothballed too soon - in times when no one thought about drone-wars.
Germany may want to reconsider, because as good as the mantis and missiles systems are - the gebhard is highly mobile -and the ammo is comparatively cheap...
as mobile point defense / last ditch intercept units theyre very useful, the UA forces use them correctly.
@@rhaskins17692341820to some degree it definetely was. It's a cold war machine that was designed for one scenario. That scenario beeing "wenn der Russe kommt" (when the Russian's coming)...
Ach komm, die Gephards wurden noch von Entwicklern mit WW2 Erfahrung konstruiert.
Heute sind wir von ganz anderem Kaliber. Willst du Stichworte?
Я русский тебе немцу скажу, что ты напрасно гордишься, как наши деды в 40-х г.г. уничтожили все ваши тигры и пантеры с крестами на борту, так и их внуки уничтожат все ваши гепарды и леопарды, можешь не сомневаться, жаль что ты не сидишь в одном из них. Не будет НАТО на русской земле.
The Gepard is very dangerous on ground combat.German Steel 👌💪
metall crap ... lancets will gnaw this kitty
@@PaulSith unless your lancet can even penetrate it's defense screen.
These Gepards are extremely effective against drones.
I think they can’t detect small ones
@@Niels_Dn how do they shoot them down if they can t detect them ? they cerntainly can detect anything with explosives. maybe there are some very small reconnaissance drones but they would only be at the front lines with very small range. but i would guess they could still detect them.
@@keto3883 They can use the optics instead of the tracking radar. Also it might be that the radar cross section of a drone with ordnance attached is such that it can be detected indeed.
Thank you to the German people for helping Ukraine defend itself against war and the crimes of Russian fascism!

As far as i heared there are much more of our Gepards to come to you. A very potent and lethal weapon. A friend of mine had been commander at Bundeswehr on that beast.
I served in exchange with a Bundeswehr battalion in the early 80's as a medic with U.S. Army from Bamberg Gephards are awesome!!!!❤❤ Slava 🇺🇦 and 🇩🇪 🎉🎉🎉🎉
34 plus another 45 to be delivered until the end of the year. We need to produce more ammo though.
@@AlexVardrWe already did, newly produced rounds get delivered since Juli and constant production is already up and running.
One thing is certain, the Germans know how to make some damn good machines.
like the Leopards that are burning somewhere right now
@@73chengosaro4This is a war. The Russian tanks are burning to the thousands.
@@73chengosaro4 you mean the leopards, of which the crews survived 100% and are salvagable? Yea there is a handful. But obviously russia has not managed to get their hands on one, otherwise their media would be full of that.
No tank is invincible. Even if the T-14 was not a paper tiger, it would be vulnerable to helicopters, artillery, ...
What matters is the crew. You cant replace an experienced tanker crew easily, but a tank can be repaired or a new one built.
@@73chengosaro4 doesnt make it a bad machine.
@@73chengosaro4 how many russian tanks have been destroyed again?
When Putin attacked Ukraine-- he created a nation. Before the attack, it was a collection of survivors of the Soviet Union who spoke different languages and who had different right and left wing opinions, who were pro, anti, or neutral with regard to Russia.
Now Ukrainians are unified about as much as any people can be.
Not only that, but he also increased NATO's size the most since the 1990s.

The Donbass population disagrees, but I guess they're not Ukrainians so this area belonged to Russia after all. Ah well 🤷

@@hissingsidll750 We do know.
I also know about the Holodomor, How International Socialist Stalin treated minorities and Jews.
They did not have the "Deutsche Gründlichkeit" But the word "pogrom" is an Russian word for a reason. The communists killed as many or more Jews than the National Socialist Hitler did.
Marx was already a hardcore hater of Jews.
Bit of a Socialist thingy I guess.
@@cherryfressh6188 Marx had a Jewish father and mother who converted to Evangelical Lutheranism. It was a sincere and genuine conversion and the father continually warned the son about his irresponsible habits. Marx's father comes across as a decent, concerned, patient, honest since man worthy of admiration.

They were just picking the lesser of 2 evils.

Can you imagine the effect on a group of troops with this thing...monster.
Classed as 'obsolete' and phased out by the west, but current again in Ukraine.
Good use of old equipment.
It was phased out because missiles are considered more effective against jets. But the Gepard is more efficient when it comes to drones. Perhaps they should consider a Gepard 2.
