Ukrainian military managed to destroy two Russian “Shahed” drones with one shot from a German Gepard anti-aircraft gun.
This was reported by Clicker with a link to a video of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“A group (of Shaheds) was flying, and it turns out we were shooting one at a time, but we shot down two. They were just flying together. We thought we had destroyed one… And in the morning they said: ‘Yes, you two shot down,‘” said the Ukrainian Gepard gunner.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine called Gepard perhaps the best anti-aircraft gun for fighting the Shaheds at the moment.
Gepard is a tank with an anti-aircraft gun. A German anti-aircraft self-propelled artillery gun manufactured by Krauss-Maffei in cooperation with other enterprises.
The baptism of fire took place in 2022 during the Russian-Ukrainian war.
