"Cheetah" is faster than "moped" 💨

This morning, one of the air defense units, which received over 10 million hryvnias of aid from us, successfully shot down an enemy drone. That's how it works - we help, they protect 🫶

Awesome to see the effectiveness og the Gepard like this. It seems perfectly suited for these kinds of slow-moving low-cost targets that you really don't to send expensive interceptors at.

Especially when the leading drone tactic seems to mostly be "send enough to saturate the air defences", having stuff like this that can rapidly burst down a bunch of drones at low cost, using ammunition that's quick and easy to produce, seems perfect.
