Drone video released by Russian forces shows what appears to be a German Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard completely shrugging off a direct hit from a Russian Lancet kamikaze drone.

While I'm not positive that the vehicle in this video is a German Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG), the profile does seem to match up with other pictures of the vehicle, and we do know that several of these systems are in Ukraine.

Regardless, this once again leans into my theory that if the Lancet Drone were in Battlefield 3, it would do roughly 35 damage to armored vehicles. Also, it's worth noting that I finally got to use Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer in a sentence, and that makes me really happy.
