Ukraine counter-offensive: German anti-aircraft platforms make short work of Russian aggressors, four jets shot down in just a few hours




German anti-aircraft platforms delivered to Ukraine are making short work of Russian aggressors, with four jets shot down in just a few hours.

The Flakpanzer Gepard weapon system is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun in use for several decades and regularly upgraded with modern electronics.

Gepards are equipped with a turret-mounted twin-barrel Oerlikon cannon that can deliver armor-piercing rounds at a firing rate of up to 550 rounds per min.

In one of the latest actions, Gepard platforms scored four Russian jets on Saturday.
