Gepard Antiaircraft Systems From Germany Target Iranian Drones Over Ukraine 

Who has announced this and where?😮

@@claus-not-santa The Swiss Newsoutlet Tagesanzeiger printed an article today: Deutschland will keine Schweizer Munition mehr kaufen - Die Regierung in Berlin und die deutsche Rüstungsindustrie arbeiten daran, unabhängig von der Produktion in der Schweiz zu werden. Dabei geht es um viel mehr als den Gepard. Davon betroffen sei nicht nur der längst ausgemusterte Gepard. Auch die Munition des Schützenpanzers Puma, der Kampfjets Eurofighter und Tornado und des Flugabwehrsystem Mantis stamme aus Schweizer Produktion. This is about time. Things have changed. We not need this kind of partner, oportunistic little traitors, who enjoy protection in the middle of Europe while denying aid to a european country subject to a Vernichtungskrieg from the new Russian Nazi Reich. Not a single European NATO country will buy anything military related from Switzerland anymore, thats almost certain.

Yeah Germany is slow in making decisions. The Gepards took 6 months since it was promised to be delivered. So much beaurocracy there. As simple as getting married is a nightmare to go through with so much red tape you had to go through.

they need to source from the UK, its what we best at, prouducing war munitions

@@Joeladgra rules and procedures are there for a reason and usually assure things working properly, this is the base of "made in germany" and why german engineering and manufacturing has always been highest standard...but sometimes things could be little quicker I agree

If a 100k missile save 1m of damage, its not a waste.

@@ironmantooltime: but If 15k in fuzed ammo shoots down 50 drones.

@@ProfessorFickle Then "we got us a Convoy!". :-)

@@ProfessorFickle They said they only need 150 rounds for 50 drones.😅

@@ironmantooltime If it is all that is available at the location/time, true that, but doing it cheaper and even more importantly with ammo that is more quickly replaced, is better, if available and effective...and I expect this German tank probably is if available within strike range. The even more important issue than bucks destroyed is life destroyed, since most of these drones are intended to hurt and kill civilians, directly or indirectly (power, water, etc). Anti missiles are better used against missiles, and the fewer that are used to take down drones, the better, so they are available for the tougher intercepts.

@@petunized why would they show the locations of there defence on video? Russia gets instantly shelled as soon as some little street sign gets geo-located Russia could so the same to them...

@@hssdiv That was the one EVER, not just from yesterday attack. That's all the 30 gepards had achieved for over a month.

@@SuperUltimateLP Gepard is mobile. They can easily move it. Oh and they show every success they can acheive. They desperately need it. For them it's mostly propaganda war.

@@petunized that's a lot of assuming going on there... You don't know that is the reason, stop thinking you are smarter then everybody else. Gepard is still a capable system and the 35mm if used in a anti amor role would still shred cold war tanks... It's really unlikely that they have in all that time just downed one Missile... They fired 2 salvos and hit a flying Missile, I can't imagine that they perform badly! Edit: spelling

As a non German I am very happy that Germany seems to be finally getting its act together, and fine weapons like this will definitely put a dent in the Russian's plans, if they even have any (sometimes I'm not convinced that they do, the current obsession with Bakmut is a little weird, maybe to gain SOMETHING, anything?). IMO there are more important things the Russians should be doing right now...including actually using some of their top weaponry for something MILITARILY useful. I just mistyped plans as planes, which made it funnier, actually. Hopefully it will do some of that, too, against manned full size stuff. I can hardly wait to see some video of that occurring. :-) Cheers from the US. I will say one other thing, at least Germany isn't afraid to put a tank in. Better than we are doing, so far, in that area, but that will soon change, as it will almost certainly have too, and not in the far future. That, or somebody needs to be producing shells for Russian/Ukrainian weaponry at a scorching rate. Pretty sure they aren't. Oh, and that KF-51 of yours, that thing is to drool over. It looks more like a spacecraft inside than a tank. When the stuff around it gets integrated (other weapons, men, etc) into its systems, it is going to be a BEAST! Not that the Leopard II is any slouch. I would guess that one is similar to the highly upgraded Abrams vehicles in capabilities. It is becoming inherently obvious to me that a SERIOUS and extended anti drone capabilities be built into all of them . That should be easy peasy, especially for the stationary quad type grenade droppers, just needs to get done.

I wish the soldiers to survive and also the Ukrainian people 🌻

I am totally in awe of Ukranian soldiers so far. They are so quick on the uptake of all the new weapon systems, they are clever and very resourceful - and keep their humor and humanity intact. Amazing folks! Like one of the guys says: If you dont operate the Gepard's computer properly, you have to reboot the whole system which is a f*** waste of time... 😂 That's an attitude! If push comes to shove, better have Ukraine on your team 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦

@@lennardschneider6847 i agree with your assessment complete. I could not express it so well.🌻

I think they skipped less important lessons. And skipped all the other stuff german operators having to learn. AND i don't think german soilders are trained 12 Hours a day.

I bet the 18 months are about conscripts since that is mainly what the Bundswehr had back in the day when these were front line equipment. We were not a professional army. They also thought it took 18 months to "train" us as lorry drivers. Then it got shortened more and more as the iron curtain fell and of the 12 months I actually ended up serving in '90/91, I mainly sat on my ass and was bored for half of the time. And still couldn't drive a lorry cross country to save my life, let alone shoot a gun properly because they just flat-out refused to teach us. I did learn to ride a moped cross-country though. _That_ only took two weeks since I had been doing basic moped riding for four years already.

That irony but true ...

It’s fulfilling the exact same mission it was originally designed for - only a further 1,000km to the east. And I‘m pleasantly surprised by how effective it still is.

Der Russe kommt aber nicht, er schickt seine Sklaven, die Raketen, die kosten weniger Moneten. Die Russen werden nie wieder kommen, was sollten sie in Deutschland wollen?

@@sigridqwq5198 _...Der Russe kommt aber nicht..._ Er ist längst da. Aufwachen! _...was sollten sie in Deutschland wollen? ..._ Das haben selbst Ukrainer schon über die Ukraine gesagt. Der Russe (gemeint ist das Regime in Moskau) nimmt alles was er kriegen kann, siehe Tschetschenien. Wäre die Verteidigung in den freien Ländern nicht so heruntergewirtschaftet worden, oder die Ukraine hätte ihre Atomwaffen behalten, wäre der Russe vermutlich nie gekommen. Einem Putin kann man nicht mit Toleranz kommen. Das wird als Schwäche missverstanden. Einen Gepard versteht er.

Yes, i remember those Gepards from my time when i served in the military. Good to see, they are used to protect our freedom and many lives.

there is reliability problems with their ammuntion right now

Norwegian ammo is first class. You don’t know much about norwegian military weapons and ammunition, if you don’t know that.

Yes in June but maybe it's not enough for war consumption.

Yeah I heard this as well. Apparently they will be making the smart 35 mm shells needed for the guns. This was mentioned sometime ago now so it’s weird that it wasn’t specifically mentioned at the end of the video. That is unless there is some issue right now with the contract. Either way though, I really hope this will be happening soon. This anti-aircraft system is exactly what Ukraine needs right now, and they need as much ammunition as possible for every calibre of weapons needed. Let alone new spare parts for the vehicles that are getting worn out.

It's NAMMO

With 7 more to come thats unfortunately all, there are no more Gepards in german inventory.

@@honnebombll ...but other nations have them and also similar systems.

@@dieterdodel835 Yes of course, but its not up to us what happens with them.

Rheinmetall (the company that build the Gepard and its ammo) baught a new ammo-factory in spain in November. So now they can shift the ammo production for the Gepard from swiss to spain.

It's a weird thought - created at a time with attack helicopters in mind, when the idea of drones was merely sience fiction. Who'd thought back in the 70s they'd work so well in 2022.

@@69quato probably the people building & using them back in the seventies thought they'd be pretty useful (yeah, there have been UAVs/drones around since then).

Seems like the rise in drone usage should make this system a no-brainer and begin new production and new R&D for even better systems.

Yeah, just looking at them now, it’s hard to think they were ever considered obsolete.

It's one of the most shit anti air system there are. Not even Bundeswehr hold them in the army and they run on old crap... So even for Bundeswehr it was too crappy.

@@miriamweller812 The Bundeswehr did not hold because politicians thought the cold war is over and a system like that was no longer needed. It was modernized before and is still one of the best anti air cannon systems in the world. Only thing important now however is, that the Ukrainians like the tank.

Kraut Space Magic!

the Gepard was vital during the Charkiw offensive where it shot down helicopters and even jets as a Gepard crew stated. I wouldn't put my hand in the fire for nobody getting killed in the process.

@@webcrawler9782 Have heared this too. Even that it was used vs ground targets since its cannons deliver morefirepower then any non battle tank and its radar was usefull to coordinate the manpads. Those drones are so slow (150 km/h?) That they can be radar tracked for minutes before getting close.

@@tyrson2445 Not unrealistic, the Gepard has a special fire mode (manually aimed single shot) against ground targets and carries dedicated anti-ground-target armor piercing ammunition in separate magazines.

Rheinmetall bought a spanish company last week for shell production and Gepard ammo.

You can be certain the Swiss have the guts to handle and bank billions of rubles, euros, pounds and dollars from nations that are either at war in Ukraine or assisting in it, the same as in 2 the world wars. Still, as long as the the Swiss think that they are maintaining their pristine morality, thats the main thing.

The Swiss said: "Why do the germans always blame us? And why do they even comply with the contract?"

yeah, switzerland is a country of half-baked wimps. always "neutral" while in reality they profited from Nazi Germany and to this day they profit form just about every nation's criminals and cartels with their banking laws. A country of rich hypocrites everyone dislikes and for good reasons. take a damn side, you swiss wusses!

First nice comment about germany from a polish person I have read in years. Thank you so much! plz tell your government and the people whoe vote for piss party to stop hating germany plz. We're friends now

@@Micha-qv5uf i thought exactly the same.

And they've gotten to the point where they are teaching the countries that developed some of these weapons new and better ways to use them. I have seen multiple NATO member generals, including US, say exactly that. As absurd as it sounded, dragging that missile out into the ocean to get the range they needed from what they had available worked. That's some goofy genius, right there. I helped design some weapons for a defense manufacturer, and related back that would have gotten a WTH out of me...and then something like "nice". The Ukrainians REALLY think outside the boxes. The mother of invention, and all that. You can also turn some of this knowledge around to use as a developer of said weapons to add features to support some of that usage more readily, fix deficiencies found, etc., if the design company is so inclined. And yes, I have heard they come up the learning curves very fast. There it is the fact that the Wolf is motivated, while the rabbit is committed. Luckily in Ukraine the Wolf doesn't even seem to be to motivated, for the most part, and when you look at the overwhelming advantage they have in weapons and ammo, in some cases the ONLY ones with certain weapons, like long range missiles and cruise missiles, it is a good thing. The Ukrainians are great, but the Russians making a mess of most of this is good, too. But don't let anybody tell you they are totally incompetent, the real military, anyway (conscripts with no previous experience and no training, not enough to matter anyway, probably mostly are). In some areas there are massive Ukrainian casualties, and the Ukrainian civilian casualties, when all is said and done are going to be staggering, I expect. The Ukrainians actually thanked one of the military higher ups with a letter for his contribution into level of corruption going on. I think that may have been slightly before the main invasion.

jew jingoists are the worst.

@@MrJdsenior Did you know it was the Ukrainians that invented and manufactured all Russians weaponry until 2014 when Putin stole Crimea and the Donbass. When Putin stole the Donbass, it was Ukraine's industrial complexes that built Russians military hardware. Putin ordered the Russian military to ran sack all of the Ukraine's factories of machinery then all of the machinery was sent to Russia. The problem then the Russian found was they stole the machinery to make the weapons, but the Russians lacked the brains to build the Military weapons.

Where are the leopards?

@@janvandermeer6159 Yeah, I was wondering, too, and it infuriates me to see, how timid and cowardly German politics have become over the years. They will do everything to avoid sending about 150 Leopards down to Ukraine, which are definitely available. Part of the truth also is, that we got a completely incompetent defense minister woman (Albrecht), an old hag that has literally done nothing since February to improve the miserable state of being for our "Bundeswehr" (German army): Our opposition in the Bundestag recently found out, that not a single bullet, tank or aircraft has been ordered in the industry since the beginning of the year, although there is a huge budget available. She is a total embarrassment and I feel ashamed of her because she is unable to cope with the huge challenge the new situation is posing right now. A lot more time will go by until our Chancellor understands, what kind of failure this woman is. Don´t expect much more help as long as this minister is in charge of our Bundeswehr.

Every weapons developer and researcher on Earth is experiencing a golden age of data regarding the 120 years worth of weapons being used in this conflict.

rather than "lethal weapons of war" perhaps, "a vital means of saving lives from brutal weapons of war."

well, against the Shaheds they are perfect, also against a range of other Russian aircraft and helis. And ammo is a tad cheaper than AA missiles.

I think they were last upgraded in the 2000s. they were actually still very up to date when the bundeswehr got rid of them. that's why they're some of the best weapons germany has just laying around .

@@frankbr5991 even so, if the radar can lock on and the target is within firing range it will still destroy anything modern flying in the sky.

It was obsolete between 1990 and 2020 but it became useful again after drones begun to make their impact on battlefield. Modern airplanes and helicopters can kill Gepard from further away than it can shoot back so it´s not useful for its original purpose...

Have you ever seen what a Gepard can do with a Russian T-tank? It looks like Swiss cheese afterwards.

@@Tracchofyre Right, but that's not how Ukraine is planning on using these precious few Gepards. As I understand it's meant to be used as anti-aircraft, not deployed on the front line to attack tanks, which Ukraine can destroy in many other ways.

@tosa I'd say that's not the Gepard's fault these turret throwers have alu foil armor..

The Swiss are very neutral. Especially towards scumbags with lots of money.

The swiss are a major contributer to the right wing wave in Europe and the US, in Germany and Austria the right wing parties are under investigation for illegal funding by swiss donors and Russia contributed much for those parties too, we know in which boat they sit

I think Rheinmetall have already come to that conclusion. They purchased a huge Spanish ammo manufacturer the other week ( forgot the name but you'll find it). on the other side of the coin, I bet the Oerlikon board will be getting twitchy about their future sales prospects given its their ammo not being sent. Perhaps a little self-interested corporate greed here will also help them motivate some Politicians to review that ban.

Rheinmetall recently bought a ammunition factory in Spain to do exactly that….

It's a German tank with Swiss ammo. I guarantee you other ammo exists, just perhaps not from countries supplying Ukraine with the amount they want and/or need.

It's not just random ammo, it's software controlled. The barrel tells the bullet how far the target is, at the very moment it fires, and the bullet explodes just after the right amount of milliseconds. Which means you don't even need a direct hit; the bullet just needs to be in the vicinity of the target. But it also means you can't just use any random bullets, you need to fit your tooling to integrate shell, explosives electronics, and data transfer correctly for the shells to work.

Duh

Interesting! Thank you

Having a war production is not neutral. Making dark money from dark money is not neutral. Being 'swiss neutral' is just an excuse to be smug in their evil. Swiss neutral should be a new meme.

Pootin's daughter and family are hiding out in Switzzerland. pootin probably hinds his gold and wealth there too. Those cheap swizz are in it for the money and nothing else.

Staying “neutral” is more about the Swiss laundering Russian money and getting rich by hiding fortunes of the worlds most evil individuals, be they Russians, Saudis, Americans, S. Americans, etc. Worshiping false profits is worse than worshiping false prophets.

I'd say that switzerland won't be invaded by nobody. At least not in the near future. Why? Because too many influential people of too many contries have some - uh - unregistered goods stored in the vaults there which are not meant for the grunts which would end liberating the banks.

Russia is actualy more northern country than we are, although enormous corruption in their armed forces rendered them severe shortage of proper gear. In fact, we still stand thanks to russia having corruption in much biger scale, than anyone have thought, and Ukraine is actually not as corrupted as we felt it (still far from perfect though). Otherwise it would be very straightforward invasion. Thankfully, things went the way they did. But now we _need_ all the support to push them back ASAP, because every day of war means more farthers, mothers, husbands, wifes, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters who will never return to their families.

The Gepard however was never really obsolete. They always loved it in the german army. It was just a lack of funding, that forced them to make the tough decision and put it out of service. Now they hopefully know better.

@@Marvin-dg8vj This is absolutely wrong.

1970's is not that long ago The A-10 Thunderbolt II is made since 1975, the M1 Abrams since 1980, the Leopard 2 since 1978, the MLRS since 1983 Like the Gepard, all these weapons got upgrades over the time

@@Sorblex dont forget the MG3 which is basicly a MG42 or the legendary US 50cal Machinegun :)

@@Davidt1066 or the C-130. Or OV-10 Bronco, etc etc etc

No, switzerland is on the money side of history

I'm not Swiss but I live in Switzerland. They have very strict arms export laws. ANY country in war is banned. Please note, that this ban is quite unpopular among the Swiss people, but Switzerland is not a banana republic., they will abbide to the rule of law., no.matter how unpopular a specific case may be. So Don't be too harsh., real life constraints are more complicated than we all may wish.

Dont be so simple minded. The Swiss are missing some hard arms businees here. There is much more at stake for their industry than some gun rounds.

Yep

Still worshiping their hoards of NAZI gold I bet.

If germany would have wanted the just could have sent the ammo, what could switzerland do about it? They just wanted someone to blame for their slowness.

How is that not picking the side of the Ukrainians and therefore non-neutral?

We don't sell stuff to the Orks either. If you're neutral either sell stuff to both or none.

@@etuanno but you keep russian oligarch money in your banks. Same thing was in WW2 you were suppose to be neutral but you kept nazi gold in your vaults. Gold that was taken from jews' teeths that went to gas chamber. Shame on you.

@@JackLondonen Shame on you for accusing us of concealing oligarch money. We siezed it and have the same sanctions as the EU. The WW2 stuff was sad but what can you do when your country is completely surrounded by the Axis powers and you NEED to import food because otherwise your population starves?!? If you make business with the bad people, they leave you alone because you're worth more when the factories aren't burned to the ground.

@@etuanno funny that considering all the oligarch money in your banks, just like with the nazis the swiss will feign neutrality for as long as possible so you can keep that money once the war is over. Morally bankrupt cowards.

Left political parties and anti-army groups in Switzerland imposed some 50 years ago laws on restricting weapon exports - including restrictions to customers abroad for reexporting. When Germany bought 35mm ammunition from the Swiss manufacturer, they had to sign an agreement on not re-exporting to third parties. It's unacceptable that Swiss federal government is not lifting the ban (despite being a legal problem) and not understandable why Germany is not simply overruling that restriction (Switzerland has no means imposing it). The former manufacturer Oerlikon-Bührle group weapons division belongs now to German Rheinmetall company - they should close the manufacturing facility in Switzerland, move the production to Germany or an other Nato country.

Olichargs money in their banks.
