"Cheetah" is faster than "moped" 💨

This morning, one of the air defense units, which received over 10 million hryvnias of aid from us, successfully shot down an enemy drone. That's how it works - we help, they protect 🫶

Lasers are probably going to come out of testing to be the go-to defence against drone swarms in not too long. As you say, they would do what the Gepard is doing, but even better (at least against small drones), they just need to be finished first.
