  1. The [Come Back Alive Foundation](https://www.facebook.com/share/DQvPPKDsZGkKHNBa/?mibextid=qi2Omg) has helped this unit with over 10 million hryvnias ($240,000) in aid donated mainly by Ukrainians but also by many people around the world. If you want to help the work of anti-aircraft defenses, consider learning more about the work of this institution and helping Ukrainians in this

  2. This is why Ukraine needs more air defence to stop these drones before they can hit Ukrainian cities.
    Good to see the Gepards finally have ammo after the Swiss originally blocked shipments.

  5. That’s a cost effective way to deal with relatively cheap drones. A Patriot missile is very expensive.

  8. You know, somewhere in Germany there is someone who helped design this in the 1980s whose proud son or daughter looking at their Dad’s creation and feeling a wonderful sense of vindication that it’s having its day – 40 years later.

  11. This likely saved at least 1 child from dying at the hands of the Russian terrorist state. Great work.

  13. Whats that, maybe 6 shots? Really impressed  by the efficiency  of such an old vehicle. Crazy how we were in the process of getting rid of functional technology  like this.

  14. I’m so proud to see such great German engineering put to good use, protecting the lives of Ukrainian people.
    Slava Ukraini!
    May Putin rot in hell.

  15. Imagine what a modern version of this gun can do

  16. seems like they meanwhile have found trust in the weapon’s accuracy, and/or can operate it better. Early videos showed them firing 4-5 salvos before the first one could even reach the target, that was just a waste of ammo, but probably what they were used to from a Shilka or ZU-23.

  17. That cheer sounds like a Ukranian version of “fuck yea!”. Love it!

  19. This is like mad max scene. Great weapon. Thank you Germany.

  20. i like how the targeting radar turns around once it’s mission is done

  21. Barely opened fire and hit it. Build more – we have seen what drone warfare looks like and this is the effective weapon against it

  22. 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦  👍👍👍 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

  23. The targeting system looks rly cool – I would like to see alot more videos of this

  24. Great shot but the impact was too close for comfort.

  25. I wonder why they haven’t restarted production of this beast. Bang for the buck to counter drone strikes.

  28. WOW.
    BEAUTIFUL!

    THAT’s a seriously awesome piece of German military equipment.

    I hope Germany was able to send Ukraine a bunch of these to help defend against the Russian long-range strike attempts.
