“Cheetah” is faster than “moped” 💨
This morning, one of the air defense units, which received over 10 million hryvnias of aid from us, successfully shot down an enemy drone. That’s how it works - we help, they protect 🫶

SPAA is going to come back in a big way in the coming years. The effectiveness of these things in Ukraine is crazy.
I don’t think the Gepards support the round type, but some of the new precision-fused airburst rounds (the fuses are wirelessly individually set as it passes through the muzzle, AFTER round velocity is measured a dozen or so cm back (!!!) for maximum burst precision) are crazy. It’s like flak, but it knows EXACTLY where it needs to pop to frag the target, instead of “1000m +/- 100m”.
And then there’s directed energy, which is also going to get interesting.
AHEAD ammunition, part of the Skynex, Skyrangers, etc. which Ukraine has a couple and getting more of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdwjcayPuag
