60 years old and still doing mighty fine...! Just like Johnny Walker...When something is well made, it will stand the passing of time and live on. Hats off to the German engineers who built it.

[@bestopinion9257]

It has a purpose because destroys shitty drones with low cost. The face of the battlefield and the tools of the enemy made it relevant.

[@raka522]

One should not forget why the Gepard was developed in the 1960s and what its actual task was, namely to advance with tank units and protect them against attack helicopters and low-lying fighter aircraft such as the SU-25 Froogfoot. What he's dealing with now in Ukraine are easy targets for the Gepard's abilities, like on a practice shooting range. Slow drones or cruise missiles that don't even change course when attacked. The Gepard's radar is still so good at detecting a single bird. A soldier with a Stinger may have a longer range, but he has no radar to detect incoming targets early, and there is no antidote to the Gepard's 35mm shells, only good luck not to get hit...

[@rainbowseeker5930]

So true...

[@simonschneider5913]

consumes way too much ammo - according to ukrainians.

[@ariefpoerniawan]

Gepard is design against low flying aircarft initially but when jdam came in, gepard purpose seem no longer need… and even germany goverment want to abandoned this system… but the warfare is also change when low and slow flying drone does more damage, it once again proved that this system is still relevant

[@rising_sun4441]

This only proves that the Gepard was built with technology so ahead of its time.

[@KarlHeinzSpock]

you may call it "old". but do not call it "unsophisticated". it is the most sophisticated tank ever produced in germany and it was the most expensive vehicle of the german bundeswehr. the german crews of gepard were known to be the most skilled and best trained tank crews ever. having a gepard as opponent means to be under fire of merciless precision, at least three seconds after being identified. if the word "sophisticated" didn't exist, we would have to invent it, to describe the properties of gepard.

Could be very cost effective against drones. Added bonus: it has a Star Wars type of look and vibe from certain angles 🙂

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

You mean "from a certain point of view."

[@rusticbox9908]

The problem with drones are their size and the height they operate at. They fly too low and slow the computer often discard their return signal as background noise.

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

@@rusticbox9908 or possibly they are mistaken for a bird. The small drones are around the size of a bird after all.

[@williamzk9083]

@@rusticbox9908 Many of these problems are a result of the parameters of the various Filters. For instance there is the Doppler filter which can measure movement in certain directions (not tangentialy) by measuring phase change. Then there is the audio filter which as the radar emits say 10000 pulses/second detects the audio frequencies from propellers, rotors, jet engine turbines, fans and bird wings. Then there is the Moving Target Indicator. This is done by subtracting a memory recording of a pulse return from the current pulse return. Thus if the target has changed distance or moved out of the beam it shows up. All this used to be done in the 1940s with acoustic dleay line memory. Finally it is possible to record the background clutter in each sweep or rotation and not the differences when a target moves in. Modern digital memory makes this easier. A electronically scanned system that can scan both vertically and to each side can also detect movement much better. -Detecting micro drones is mainly hard because the radars haven't been parameterized. -The new special radars 9which already exist to protect sporting venues and air ports from drones) will be able to detect and destroy micro drones.

[@rusticbox9908]

@@williamzk9083 I know this, but micro drones are just flying way too low and their returns are indistinguishable from the background noises and Filtered out, the radar will need further upgrades going into higher bands requiring more power. The pansirs didn't have this problem in the middle east because of the terrain but faced the same problems In Ukraine.

This design is proving itself against the test of time. This brings to mind the M2 50 caliber machine gun which was developed for WWI. The US Army tried to make their own vehicle like this but it could never successfully complete its tests. As long as the radar systems are upgraded when needed this weapon could stay in the field for many years. I could also see the German Army reintroducing this weapon back into its army. No one saw its usefulness against drones, cruise missiles or low flying aircraft. Very impressive.

[@HedgehogZone]

Nah we have already a better system. Skyranger!

[@BlueRice]

radar has always been the challenging aspect of a detection system. if the radar cant detect small drone, its not useful at all. there are even smaller drone the U.S used. its small as your palm of your hand. this is very challenging for any radar system. if you can spot the enemies, sending missile on the way is hard task to stop - even artillery shell. modern warfare fight with these type of things that is cheap and effective. gorilla warfare is with a country that has no advance technologies so its battle is mostly with assault rifle and sniper.

Can these guns with the right ammunition, damage a MBT armor?

[@HenkGoesBad]

Gepards' 35x228mm has a APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) version. While it is not a tank buster by any means, it has a decent penetration of 65mm at 1.000m. It could be unpleasant for older tanks side armor (early T-72's at best) at close range but would fare well against anything lighter (AFV's, IFV's etc). I'm not sure if it can cause significant spalling in newer tanks, but it could still destroy optics and achieve a mission-kill rather than a hard-kill. In practice, Gepards only carried a handful of these rounds (20-40) as a last-ditch self defense. If your Gepard comes face to face with a tank, something has gone very wrong already.

[@neutraluser4019]

@HenkGoesBad Thanks, I guess for IFV, AFV or even Gepards to destroy any modern tanks would need to be equipped with ATGM otherwise avoid it. 😉

[@HenkGoesBad]

@@neutraluser4019 That's pretty much what I would think indeed! It would not surprise me if a newer version of the Gepard would include an ATGM for self defense since they would be operating close to the front line, chasing drones.

This machine needs a upgrade. And it was mentioned with the stinger missiles. Which would give the gepard a longer reach. Question is why don't the germans do it by going into a partnership with one of the European countries like they have done with aircraft.

[@rolandxor179]

There is a C-RAM system called MANTIS that could potentially be modified to work on a mobile chassis. But the reason there is no upgrade is because this system is supposedly very complex and expensive to maintain. It is not like a relatively simple MANPAD which has largely replaced it.

[@rolandxor179]

There is a huge interest in making all air defense mobile. As static systems are just very vulnerable to counter battery fire or anti radiation drones and missiles.

[@williamzk9083]

The replacement system is “SkyNEX” of which two prototypes have already been delivered to Ukraine. It looks like MANTIS but is new. It’ll be mounted on a 6x6 armoured truck or a BOXER 8x8 IFV. It has provision for any MANPADS on the side turret. SkyNEX has special radar to track and target swarming micro drones . With maybe a RBS70 missile it’ll reach to over 8km. -The Germans are developing the LFK NG missile which is in essence a 1/4 sized vertical launched IRIS/T. The missiles and radar will be in seperate vehicles easy to hide. A Wiesel tracked vehicle if it passes over grass leaves no tracks after 1.5 hours.

[@rolandxor179]

@@williamzk9083 I looked it up but it isn't as mobile it works with a static radar housed in a seperate container. I think the best integration would be on a Lynx or Puma IFV and then like the Gepard / Cheetah it will need a search and tracking radar attached.

[@williamzk9083]

@@rolandxor179 Technically the SkyNEX, Sjyguard, Skyshiel are elements and variants of the same system. My bad, What I wanted to refer to was SkyRanger 30 and SkyRanger 35 which is the mobile version system for use on a Boxer IFV. In this system the 5 AESA antenna are integrated around the turret able to track microdrones to 5km. The SkyNEX system purchased by Qatar is extremely capable and able to handle 80 simultaneous targets with its guns and missiles.

The complete opposite of what you just said is actually the case. Because Gepard is so much cheaper than wasting a missile against a cheap drone it makes the gepard so cost effective. Because there are so many drones nowadays. How can you get it that backwards?

@@Reflect02 the Geppard also has a laser range finder. It does not need the tracking radar. In any case the Gepards are being used to protect Ukrainian cities and infrastructure well away from the front line because their range is too short. They easily can destroy several of the Shahad drones at minimal cost. They will easily handle any Kalibr missile that ventures within 3km. A set of 34 Gepards set 5km apart will create a 170km barrier to Russian cruise missiles. The Gepards are well away from the front lines MANPADS which have twice the range provide the initial defence there. There is no realist threat from Russian radar homing missiles which are too primitive so long as radar use is disciplined. Prior to their mothballing the German army had developed a system for attaching MANPADS to the side of various types to extend range. With RBS70 this would be 8km. The bulky lightly armoured Pantsir is more vulnerable, all SHORAD are.

[@opinionatedpossum1945]

You miss the point. Gepards have shot down hundreds of Iranian drones and Russian cruise missiles. But no weapon has magical powers where it can never be hit. Jets get shot down.

The Gepards, despite being a 1970s designed system had their fire control and radar upgraded between 2006-2009. They were then retired in 2010 and moth balled. Obvious they are very effective and cost effective against subsonic cruise missiles like Kalibr and the Shahad drones Russia obtained from Iran. The Russian strategy was to terrorise Ukrainians in winter by destroying their gas and electricity supplies at a time freezing to death in an apartment is possible if you are old or ill. To do this they tried saturation attacks to deplete Ukrainian missile defenses. The Gepards can engage drones and cruise missiles cost effectively (at $50/roound). NASAMS and IRIS-T can then take care of the rest leaving only the Kinzahls to be destroyed by the Patriots.

The missile was not even hypersonic in its terminal phase as there was no incoming plasma glow. -Although it is heartening that the Ukrainian people have defense against disgusting Russian attacks on their country and people it is disappointing that the capabilities of Patriot was revealed.

[@stephengross4704]

That is what happens when you operate to close to the front. You need protection to make sure ATGMs are dealt with.

[@JoaoSoares-rs6ec]

It doesn't needs to deal with the kormet, just has to deal with the crew operating it, why do you think tanks have machine guns

The is video of Gepards shooting down Kalibir cruise missiles. There are pictures of Pantsirs failing to maintain a lock on Storm Shadow cruise missiles. Pantrise is a big cluimsy easy to target system with too many components. Gepards did not work alone, they worked with Roland SHORAD missiles and later Stinger or other MANPADS firing Ozelot Wiesels. The Ozelots had IRST and could engage at night but worked well with the Gepards. The Gepard was retired in 2011 because it was seen as vulnerable but mainly budgetary reasons. -Gepard is highly cost effective at destroying Russian shahad drones and at destroying any kalbr cruise missiles that comes within 3 km. It's pretty much a Turkey shoot.

[@williamzk9083]

@@hansrudel5344 Gepard shoots a much larger 35mm round than Pantsir's 30mm round. Some of the APDS/T rounds have a mussle velocity of: 1,440 m/s. The Gepards guns shoot at 550 rounds but more modern versions of the 35mm do 1100 rounds. I suggest that Pantsirs 30mm guns have never been of any use.

This has already happened in the history of the wars between Russia and Germany. Then it was the tanks Tiger and Panther. The Germans have no imagination. Russians 80 years ago already defeated the entire family of cats.

[@williamzk9083]

80 years ago Russia defeated Germany with the help of the USA and UK. In fact Russia would have lost the war without the US and UK. For every 5 T-34 lost the Germans lost less than 3 of their tanks. With 95% of T-34 produced being destroyed then if the Germans had of gotten losses down to 2.5 they would have won the war. The British supplied 4000 tanks before 1942 when the T-34 was total Rubbish whose optics had 30% of the light gathering capability of German optics. Lee Grants, Valiants whose 6 pounder gun out performed the 76mm gun of the T34. The US supplied 4000 M4 Sherman's after 1942. On top of that there were over 600,000 Trucks (200,000 6WD and 400,000 4WD) over 1000 Hurricane and Spitfires (before 1942 was out) and nearly 6000 P-39, thousands B-25 Mitchell's and C-47 Dakotas. -Almost all of the meat in Russian Army Ration Packs was American Meat. Most the of the Aviation fuel was US supplied and 10% total of all fuel was US supplied. -In 1942 at the same time as the German defeat at Stalingrad the British accepted the Surrender of Rommel's army in North Africa. This was as big a loss of men and equipment as Stalingrad and had the Germans not been needing to supply North Africa the Ju 52, Me 323, He 111 and escort fighters could have supplied the Stalingrad airlift. Of course the British did not create conditions of starvation and disease in their POW camps that murdered 95% of their POW like Russia did. -In 1943 the allies invaded Sicily and then Salerno Italy (before D-day) drawing away German resources from Russia. Patrons army got to Czechoslovakia and East Germany before Russia did via Italy. -In 1944 the allies opened up a 3rd front in France at Normandy after having destroyed German oil production in the preceding 5 months. -Had it not been for the allied bombing campaign of Germany which reduced German production by 40% thee would have been 6000 Panthers instead of 4000 produced and they would all have been on the Eastern front instead of Normandy. The same applies to Panzer IV and StuG and Tiger I and II. -The Germans would have had plenty of fuel to outmaneuver Russian tanks. -Hundreds of thousands of German Soldiers kept in France, Italy would have been fighting Russia. Thousands of fighters and bombers used on the Western front would have been used against Russia. -Oh and it was Ukrainians fighting the Germans.

Russia still economically backward, corrupt, run by kleptocrat FSB crooks and soldiers looting toilets (says it all). A brutal backward country that vindictively attacks its small neighbors every 20 years. They never learn to work and just rob and loot resources to spread their misery.
