I've got an old friend I've known for
50yrs+ on the road to here now.
So, I can have the night free to spend with us, I came across these two articles concerning the
GEPARD apparently, they're performing better than
maybe was anticipated.
I posted on the planned "
minor" tweaks made to improve the systems but, more importantly the "
newer" round it's also using that I previously posted on and provided a video showing its use in combat by the Ukraine.
"They fire the potent 35×228 mm standard NATO round in a range of types, such as HEI (High-Explosive Incendiary),
FAPDS (Frangible Armor-Piercing Discarding-Sabot) and SAPHEI (Semi Armor-Piercing High-Explosive Incendiary). Usually Gepards are loaded with around
320 anti-aircraft rounds and 20 armor piercing rounds per gun."
This the first time they've been used in combat from what I can find. So
bottom-line it works very well.
So, you can consider this post a
SITREP.
