History:
The Gepard anti-aircraft tank is manufactured by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), based in Munchen, Germany, and is operational with the armed forces of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. The Gepard is a heavily armoured, autonomous and mobile air defence system based on the chassis of the Leopard main battle tank.
The vehicle is fitted with a fire control system, all-weather tracking and acquisition sensors and powerful automatic guns. Its role within NATO is to protect key installations, combat units and troops on the move, as well as on the battlefield.
43 surplus Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns have been donated to the Romanian Army by Germany. The first was delivered in November 2004.
