☆ German-made anti-aircraft guns from the 1960s are one of Ukraine's best weapons against Russia's exploding drones, and this video shows one blasting them out of the sky

Ukraine has relied on its decades-old Gepard cannons to defend against Russian drones and missiles. A new video published Thursday by the Ukrainian military shows the anti-aircraft guns in action. Gepards, which were first developed in the 1960s, have proven to be very effective in downing these systems, as well as other low-altitude Russian drones and cruise missiles.

☆ Germany has finally figured out how to build more ammo for the 1960s-era cannon Ukraine is using to blast Russian drones
  + stars: | 2023-09-05 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Ukraine has been using Cold War-era Gepard cannons to take down Russian drones and missiles. A German arms manufacturer plans to send 300,000 35mm rounds to Kyiv for its Gepards. Ukraine has relied heavily on its arsenal of Gepards provided by Germany to blast low-flying Russian drones and missiles out of the sky. It took existing 35mm ammunition from infantry fighting vehicles and modified it for the Gepard, which needed its fire control unit to recognize the new munitions. A Gepard gun successfully fired the ammunition in May, and Rheinmetall said on Sunday that "a first lot" of 35mm ammunition is now on its way to Ukraine.

Allbirds is one of the brands I'm looking at. TikTok is looking more and more like a record label. When TikTok launched SoundOn, a song-distribution and artist-services platform, some in the industry wondered whether it was trying to muscle its way into record labels' territory. TikTok is now looking to hire people who will "identify, sign, and develop new artists" as well as "design live show and merchandise strategies for artists globally." Get a front-row seat to TikTok's transformation into a record label here.
☆ For Ukraine, Western tanks could be a game changer in the conflict
  + stars: | 2023-01-27 | by ( Holly Ellyatt | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
For Ukraine, the offer of modern, Western battle tanks was a long-time coming; it has requested Leopard 2 tanks from Germany, and asked Berlin to authorize their re-export from other allies, for months. On Wednesday, Germany offered Ukraine 14 of its Leopard 2A6 tanks and said it would allow allies to export their own German-made tanks to Ukraine. watch nowPoland, the Netherlands, Spain, Norway and Finland are among the other countries that have signaled they will, or are willing, to send tanks to Kyiv. Ukraine is certainly focusing right now on the exact number of tanks it can expect from its Western allies. The speed of training of our military, the speed of supplying tanks to Ukraine and the volume of tank support."
☆ Fact Check-Photo of Gepard tank in action was captured before Ukraine war
  + stars: | 2022-10-19 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Some social media users are falsely claiming an image of a Gepard tank firing at a mortar was captured in action in Ukraine. Thousands of people have interacted with the Oct. 18 posts on Twitter and Facebook which include the photo and claim: “The first visual confirmation of the combat use of German ‘Gepard’ in Ukraine” (here and here). While Germany did send Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine in August to help fend off the Russian invasion that began on Feb. 24, the photo on social media predates that conflict (here and nL5N2XC3SK). Reuters traced the photo back to July 2021 when it was uploaded to the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS) (here). The photo was captured in Poland before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
