Fallout Re: SP, MLRS and SPAA Developments

Been tracking on this for a handful++ months now. Now we have the first operational model built. The Gepard 1.5 which was specifically designed for the Ukraine's on-going war in a target rich environment where it WILL excel more than the already very highly successful Gepard has been serving.

Skyranger 35 has been around for many years now and I believe the Ukraine has already been using a purpose-built truck mounted version I believe I posted. Skyranger is in here as well from several years ago.

It is expected that the Ukraine will get these in 2025 (Mid-maybe.) after all testing has been completed which it is about to start.

Keep in mind the original use (And current still as improved since.) was for static point defense for airfields, bases and important national asset defense. Generally specking they would be pedestal mounted.

I point this out because the ammo load cited in the article is the same as the static system.

Obviously, a BIG difference between that and a LEOPARD 1A5 tank that carried 55 105mm rounds it should be able to carry 750 -1000 35mm rounds but, we'll see as the time comes closer or sooner.
