Nice, I hope they can rustle up some ammo too, I hear it’s a bit hard to come by.
Fortunately, Rheinmetall started a production line for 35 mm Gepard ammunition and has delivered a first batch in September. source
I think the Gepard is probably the most cost-effective way of shooting down Shaheds. These fly low and slow, exactly what the Gepard was designed for. I didn’t know Jordan had so many of them, but this is good news and will help protect Ukrainian infrastructure during winter, together with additional Patriot and IRIS-T from Germany. I hope they can also secure enough ammunition.
This article is poorly worded. For those curious, the Gepard is self propelled AA, not artillery.
Yes, literally called “Flakpanzer” in German. Or “Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer” in its full form.
