gepard is old but a very impressive and amazing precise weapon. it was designed and is able to shoot down any air threat in its range, including deep flying jets. when i was in the bundeswehr, i saw many weapon systems of which gepard impressed me the most. its speed of aming and firing combined with its precision is absolutely stunning. there are much heavier weapons, but i considered the presence of this beast felt more threatening to me as infantryman than anything else. the cannon is focussing on a target with horrible speed and any support van ist turned into peaces of iron within 3 seconds. gepard was the most expensive tank we had, more expensive than main battle tanks. the guys who run on this systems were known as very capable, well trained and specalized tank crews.
From 1984-85 I was stationed in Kassel - Wabern after my basic training as a Panzergrenadier and during my service I took part in various maneuvers partly with the US ARMY at the Inner German border. Towing targets of several anti-aircraft tanks Gepard were shot from the sky. That was extremely impressive. The Americans were really frightened when they started to shoot. They didn't have anything like that back then.
Those two 35mm cannon can also be used in defense or attack. The Germans made extensive use of 20MM cannon in World War II in single, twin and quad mounts.
As i understand the key is perhaps not the guns alone but the air control and radar you get with the gepard and it can move fast - and it is defend by the gepard itself.
That was the Gepard2BL, and Ukraine got the more modern Gepard1A2, which was last extensively modernized between 2000 and 2005. The Gepard1A2 can be coupled with longer-range radar systems and therefore only has to use its own radar system in exceptional cases. Likewise, the Gepard1A2 can be coupled with one another, whereby a Gepard fire control computer takes over the target finding of the other Gepard1A2 and targets can be attacked in a coordinated manner.
I think about those early videos of a bunch of helicopters flying into hostomel Airport and across the water into mariupol(I think?) and just imagine a couple of these absolutely shredding... Glad the Ukrainians are getting seven more!
1. the radar upgrades are not old, also these gepards are to be linked into radar networks, so they receive the target informations from larger installations and in the last stage use the trackingradar for guiding the cannons. Also, as refering to an BW Officer using these things for many years the radar seems to be quite resistant against jamming.
In the 80's , The Belgian army used to have 48 of them. Joined in the 14A and 35A (Flemish and Walloon Artillery Bataillons) they were stationed in Spich Germany. Great machines with 99% accuracy! Eat your heart out, Dirty Puty
Exactly ; developed late 40s, entered service around 1952 . No onboard fire control meant minimal effectiveness against air threats . Unlike the Gepard .
The Russian equivalents to this are Tunguska and Pantsir S1. Both have SAM Launchers on the side in addition to the 3cm Cannon. Gepard 3.5cm cannon lethal to Russian infantry units because it's designed for Anti Aircraft and Infantry jobs. Needs Nozh Explosive Reactive Armour to protect itself from Russian Hermes ATGM

Was soll dieser Quatsch mit dem Stingerträger? Der Gepard weder der B2L noch der 1A2 können Stinger verschießen.

Na ja, lang ist her!
good because it already got captured by Russians and is kinda useless against a warfare that is mostly fought with artillery and precision rocket strikes.
i dont think you will see much videos or official statements about the effectiveness. at least not in near future. 1. why would you tell your enemy what is hitting them and where, so they can narrow in the position within the weapons firing range, in this case 5km 2.if you busy hitting your enemy, you no have time to take videos. Same happend to the PZH. for a month any news-channel was flooded about every single HIMARS strike, while you found rarely any videos about what the longrange artillery was doing, firing 150+ rounds per day and per gun on top of enemy artillery, tanks and positions. and i guess the asset did its job otherwise they wouldnt have ordered 100 pieces more.

"reverse" is indeed the best word to describe the russian retreat. they left cherson yesterday in a hurry, some "soldiers" even jumped into the Dniepro for retreat. facts.

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess How can you be so stupid as to think that Ukraine will win against Russia? You also have to realize that Ukraine is only a plaything of the USA. The Ukrainians are fighting themselves to death for the US geopolitical games. It is better to hope that Ukraine falls into Russian hands, it is better for all countries in the world. If Ukraine wins, it will only be under US hands, like Germany. Then it will be armed for the great planned war against Russia. But you fools don't see that.

Didn’t age well
Like a warthog but on the ground..
The last Pictures are not a "Gepard", this is a Leopard 2 hull with marksman turret, a finnish AA System, this System using the same 35 mm Guns
This is like a ZSU-23-4 on steroids. That 35 mm ammo will even shred a well-armored gunship such as a Hind.
That thing kicks ass they should make a 4-barrel version sometime
Best Car for Sight-Seeing Trip in Offenbach after 8 P.M.
Ukraine received 30 so that’s a great part of the anti air protection Patriot, S300, NASAMS, IRIS T, Star Streak, vampires, man pads
Awesome infantry support! Deadly close-range AA! If used as a combined unit to a larger armored column with artillery and air assets !!
Wow made in Germany, it could be deadly weapons against the invader
I would like to see the Gepard go head to head with the Orcs terminator
That would be cool xD
waaaagh!
As i understand the key is perhaps not the guns alone but the air control and radar you get with the gepard and it can move fast - and it is defend by the gepard itself.
People working hard to figure more ways to kill one another.
Gepard "G" as in "go"
3:35 That's Marksman SPAAG
they delivered the right stuff to kick Putin`s ass. Hope that Leopards will follow soon
no visas for ruzzian beaches of north korea
I would use it for Ground targets as well.
Lmao that’s a Finnish Marksman in the beginning
Those things eat drones for Frühstück!
Excelent video. Very interesting.👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇺🇲🇺🇲👏
Great now they just need someone to make the ammunition which from what I hear no one does.
Best sound starting at 3:22.
the last vehicle (the finnish) is a Marksman on a Leopard 2 chassis, not a Gepard
This somehow reminds me of the flakvierling from ww2
First videoclip was a Finnish army Marksman 35mm SPAAG.
Well now they need the munitions for it and lots of them
this tank went into operation when I was ten. Seen for the 1st time in 1979 at Le Bourget/Paris IAE

30 have been delivered so far. And they are protecting their targets every day.

Destroy orcs, they are not humans

That should help
Much higher rate of fire compared to the Vietnam-Era “Duster.”
Comparing the Duster to the Gepard is like comparing a Sherman to an Abrams .
