Germany is officially announcing that
8 GEPARDS have thus far been delivered the Ukraine.

I am still somewhat surprised by how effective this unit is.
The following taken from the article as "dissected"...
"
fully autonomous air defense system thanks to its
S-band search radar mounted at the rear of the turret and a
Ku-band Doppler tracking radar fitted at the front"
"able to
detect and track aerial targets at a
maximum range of 15 km."
Effective Gun range...
"about
3,500 m and
more than 4,500 m with (Frangible Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) ammunition. "
They were sent the
FAPDS along with the other as already posted, I believe to be an
HE-FRAG munition.
