Team Yankee: Gepard Flackpanzer Batterie - TGBX07

Gepard Flakpanzer Batterie (TGBX07)
Includes two Flakpanzer Gepard anti-aircraft vehicles & Unit card.

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 autocannon 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.
