💥 Why Russo-Iranian Kamikaze Drones Can Not Pass Gepard?

The Flakpanzer Gepard, a Cold War relic designed to combat Soviet threats, now faces modern challenges. Its imposing size and firepower are matched only by its ability to devastate anything in its path. But its true strength lies in eliminating drone threats, with a single unit taking down over ten drones and intercepting missiles. Equipped with twin 35mm cannons firing at an astonishing rate and featuring advanced radar systems, the Gepard is a relentless defender and a legend reborn in the modern age.

🎬 Main characteristics:

📌 Designed during the Cold War to counter Soviet threats
📌 Powerful: known for its size, noise, and destructive capabilities
📌 Effective against drones: proven against Iranian kamikaze drones
📌 Impressive record: single unit shot down over 10 drones and intercepted 2 missiles
