Rheinmetall will deliver Leopard 1-based Skyranger 35 air defence systems to Ukraine. The order worth a three-digit million Euro figure is financed by an unnamed EU country using frozen Russian assets.
Hope it’s France. Also hope we stop buying gas from them … idc having a 8C° home this winter if it’s to see the orcs getting back to isengard.
The frozen assets are primarily in Belgium, right? And, if that money was used to help Ukraine, Belgium didnt want to risk having to pay the money back, which is why it asked the EU to help. I assume this is the solution, lol.
Belgium renamed to “unnamed EU country” confirmed
This is such a great move. Why couldn’t they just do it from the start?
“You want war? Sure. But the more you want war, the more of your money we will be giving to Ukraine. You want to see your bank accounts empty? Go ahead—it’s up to you.”
It’s such good leverage, and they didn’t use it from the start. Do they think if the situation were reversed, Russia would care about keeping Western assets safe in Russian banks just to honor contracts? Look at what they did to all the leased airplanes.
Light years ahead of what Zey have or ever will have.
Built with love for our brothers in Ukraine !
Wow, what a beast.
Its beautiful
This is the way.
Wel what I want to know is how good is skyranger?
Is this a so called “game changer” as in will it have a material effect on the front lines even if just in select areas where these limited numbers are deployed?
This machine really requires a skilled operator.
Welcome to Ukraine, Flakpanzer Gepard 2.0
Using frozen Russian assets, or the profit from interest rates from Russian assets.
Their is a huge difference here.
And the title tells that they indeed confiscated the assets, instead of just withholding them.
So it’s a better Gepard? Should be good at taking out drones
Didn’t look toooo convincing imo. Looked like manually aiming and no indication of how far away that drone was and the drone didn’t seem to get a direct hit, but rather maybe rocked by the shells exploding nearby and possibly damaged by splinters/shrapnel from that.
I hope this thing is better than the impression from this video. To be effective, it needs to have quite some range and be capable of destroying a small drone swarm, so that multiple drones cannot close in on it as a group to overwhelm its capabilities.
Rheinmetal has facilities in the United Kingdom.. and frozen funds in UK too. Just sayin’
Russia once again is one of the biggest doner of equipment to Ukraine lol
That’s great. Though I fear we are still just treating the symptoms. Not curing the disease.
And so there’s no ambiguity, I an referring to Putin. A cancer on the world.
Fucking brilliant it’s the Geppard Mark 2 and even better Leopard 1’s in Ukraine service will be a source for more of these. If they are good enough front line anti drone tech will change the battlefield.
NGL, for a precious moment, seeing the futuristic look of the main barrel, I was hoping for the railgun instead of normal gun.
But, one can only dream, for now :'(
From what I understand, these are excellent counters to the drone threat due to their low cost per shot. Every European country should be buying these and every European country should be donating some of their newly acquired Skyranger 35s to Ukraine.
Hell yes!
Ruzzia could help finance alot more of these from their frozen assets , one every 5 kilometres set back accross the entire front .
Probably Germany
By god, Ukraine needs the Systems
It’s basically a mantis anti air system on top of a Leo, I love it. I’ve experienced the mantis system before at a bundeswehr exercise and it just shreds everything in the sky.
I can imagine that these Gepard 2 will especially useful fighting in a pack, maybe with mobile radarsystems nearby, to really give them the oversight.
Imagine 5 of those prowling behinde the frontline, the amount of anti drone projection you could provide is insane.
Don’t Russian drones fly high up to evade AA systems like this?
I mean it’s a potent system but honestly Ukraine needs more mass instead of class
Which ever country has committed to this you will save many lives and infrastructure in Ukraine. дякую / Слава Україні 🙏
