Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun (SPAAG)

The Flakpanzer (shortened form of the German Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer or “anti-aircraft cannon tank“) Gepard (English: Cheetah) is an autonomous, all-weather-capable German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG). It was developed in the 1960s and fielded in the 1970s, and has been upgraded several times with the latest electronics. It constitutes a cornerstone of the air defence of the German Army (Deutsches Heer) and a number of other NATO-states.
