What the hell hit it, a rail gun? Lol that was awesome.

That must be an awesome feeling!

Though: it's a pity the gepard's location can now be approximated from the video. But whatever, just drive ut a couple of blocks in some direction :)

That was'nt a gepard. It was a small missile, maybe 40 or 50cm, estimating from shahed size. My clients (Eternity) video player lets me play back at 0.25 speed. I paused andvscreenshot it:

Can it? I don’t see any landmarks, just the tops of some trees

[–] Tuuktuuk@piefed.ee 11 points 2 days ago

I believe it can. I've seen enough geolocation posts where people have managed to pinpoint something surprisingly accurately based on similar data. The direction where the flame shoots directly upwards shows a lot.

But yeah, since the gepard is easy to move around, probably no real harm done. Just want to remind people to care about OPSEC :)

That was awesome! But what hit it? It sounded like gunfire but hit like a missile.

I was wondering too. Some fancy guided anti air system i guess, because it didnt hit from below but from the side by the looks of it. The impact trail stays below the smoke cloud.

Apparently it was shot down by a Gepard.

Damn, small and - well maybe not hypersonic but it seemed like it.

Holy shit that drone was eviscerated. The drone looks like an Iranian Shahed wonder what the munition was?
