There are already 4 knocked down drones-Kamikadze shahd and 2 winged missiles. High accuracy is achieved by an onboard computer. Ukrainian air defense is now much more powerful than it was before. In particular, there is a Gepard Armed Forces, which can destroy the drones of Kamikadze and winged rockets. This was reported in the CNN report.

Journalists were shown to the German anti -aircraft self -propelled Gepard installation - this is a rare opportunity because the Russians try to hunt Ukrainian air defense. "In front of you, Gepard 1A2," says one of Oleg's installation operators. "The tower is equipped with two 35 mm oerlikon guns, the speed of these guns is 550 shots per minute, which gives 1100 in the sum," Oleg says. Germany has already handed over 34 Gepard Armed Forces to Ukraine and plans to supply them in the future.

Berlin deduced them in 2010. The military says the computer allows you to automatically identify the target, capture it and calculate the trajectory. The publication states that the Oleg's unit has shot down 4 drone-Kamikadze Shahd and 2 hostile rockets. "[Russians] love to say that their missiles cannot be confused, but when technologies allow, the crew is motivated, trained and knows their work, there is nothing impossible. We can destroy any hostile target," the fighter says.

The Ukrainian air defense system now has Franco-Inflies About SAMP/T, German Iris-T, American-Nassams Nasams and American Patriot. They are all stored in unknown classified areas to avoid Russian blows. Lieutenant General Sergey Naev says that the work of the Armed Forces Gepard in combination with other systems is one of the reasons for improving the efficiency of air defense. The percentage of the objectives intercepted exceeds 80%.
