Gepard Flakpanzer Batterie

The Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard (Antiaircraft Cannon Tank, Cheetah), or Flakpanzer Gepard for short, is the main anti-aircraft vehicle of the panzer divisions. It is fitted with a sophisticated anti-aircraft radar system for locating and tracking its targets. The Gepard is based on the hull of the Leopard 1 tank, with a large turret mounting a pair of 35mm Oerlikon autocannons and its tracking and search radar dishes.

With a rate-of-fire of 550 rounds per minute for each gun, the Gepard does nasty things to Soviet aircraft. Gepard and Roland anti-aircraft units had multiple crews for 24-hour operations. When not manning their vehicles, these extra crewmen operated Fliegerfaust 1 (Red-Eye) man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems.
