The Ukrainian military calls the self-propelled air defense installations supplied by Germany the best in their class. This is stated in the press release of the Operational Command "South" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in which its representatives announced the arrival in Ukraine of the first three German Gepard anti-aircraft artillery installations.

In total, it is planned to supply thirty such combat vehicles.

These complexes will cover important infrastructure facilities from attacks by helicopters and airplanes at low and ultra-low altitudes

- the Ukrainian military declare.

One of the features of this technique is that it is able to operate effectively even in conditions of active electronic suppression by the enemy. The determination of targets is carried out using two radars, the range of which is 15 thousand meters. ZSU "Cheetah" is capable of hitting targets at a distance of 100 meters to four kilometers. To do this, it is equipped with two 35 mm Oerlikon KDA automatic cannons.

The anti-aircraft gun is mounted on the chassis of the Leopard 1 tank.

The crew of the self-propelled installation consists of three members. This is the commander, driver and gunner.

In a number of European countries, the complex appeared in service after the 60s, when its development began. In the 2000s, it was replaced with more modern weapons, but then they occupied an important place in the air defense systems of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
