Type 87 vs Gepard: Japan and Germany’s Cold War SPAAG Beasts Both the Japanese Type 87 and German Gepard were built around the same lethal twin 35mm Oerlikon cannons, but took very different approaches. The Type 87 sits on a Type 74 tank chassis with a compact all in one radar turret, while the Gepard uses the Leopard 1 platform with its signature radar layout. Designed to destroy low flying aircraft decades ago, these Cold War anti air beasts are now proving deadly against modern drones.

Germany’s Old Gun Beat a Modern Threat The Gepard 1A2 is a German self propelled anti aircraft system armed with twin 35mm cannons and advanced radar. Originally built during the Cold War, it has proven that gun based air defense still has a place in modern warfare. Designed to counter low flying aircraft and drones, the Gepard has become one of the most effective anti drone systems on the battlefield. But is it a long term solution, or just a stopgap in the age of missiles and mass drone warfare?

Japan’s Deadly Gepard Cousin: The Mitsubishi Type 87 Twin 35mm Oerlikon cannons, 1,100 RPM, and pure Japanese engineering. Inspired by the legendary German Gepard, the Mitsubishi Type 87 combines devastating firepower with advanced radar guided targeting in a uniquely Japanese “Guntank” design. One of the most expensive and capable SPAAG systems of its era, a true nightmare for drones and low flying threats.

At one point in history the B-52H Stratofortress was equipped with a tail-mounted, remote-controlled, and radar-guided M61A1 20mm Vulcan cannon, designed for rear defense. This 6-barrel rotary weapon featured a firing rate of approximately 4,000 rounds per minute and carried 1,242 to 1,250 rounds of ammunition. Sadly, the system was removed from all B-52H aircraft in the early 1990s.😎

What do you think of this Chinese naval CIWS (Close-in Weapon System)? Type-730/1130 with a seven-barrel automatic gun H/PJ-12 of 30-mm caliber. The rate of fire is apparently 5800 shots per minute, and the effective firing range is up to 3000 meters.

🚨 Throughout the past few years, the West has supplied Ukraine with so-called “wonder weapons” that would bring enormous benefit on the battlefield and alter the course of the war effort. One such example is the Gepard, a German twin barrel anti-aircraft vehicle manufactured by Krause-Maffie. The Gepard was billed as the most effective vehicle to counter the Russian drone threat against Ukrainian forces and targets. Well, the Gepard met its match on the battlefield with the Russian drone Geranium-4 Seeker, able to strike fear into Ukrainian forces and take out every Gepard they found on the battlefield. The Geranium-4 Seeker is the true wonder weapon against the more expensive and German engineered and manufactured Gepard.

🇷🇺⚡ The legendary ZU-23-2, the Soviet twin-barrel 23mm anti-aircraft gun that’s still everywhere in 2026. Insanely mobile, ridiculously durable, and capable of spitting out 400+ rounds per minute against aircraft, drones, and ground targets. This Cold War relic refuses to die. Cheap, easy to maintain, and deadly effective especially against low-flying drones. You’ll still see it mounted on pickup trucks across Ukraine, the Middle East, and Africa. One of the most successful “budget air defense” systems ever made. Old but still dangerous.

🇨🇳 China’s Type 1130 is built for one job: shred anything that gets too close to its warships. It’s an 11-barrel, 30mm rotary cannon that can fire up to 11,000 rounds per minute, making it one of the fastest point-defense systems on the planet. China mounts it on Type 055 destroyers and aircraft carriers to stop incoming missiles and drones before they reach the ship. At that speed, defense becomes a wall of metal.

Ukraine isn't testing the SKYNEX air defense system anymore. It's using it - and the results are rewriting Europe's defense orders. All four SKYNEX systems pledged by Germany have been delivered and are operational. Developed by Rheinmetall, each unit combines a 35mm automated anti-aircraft cannon with radar-guided targeting and a networked battle management system - designed specifically to intercept Shahed-type drones before they reach their targets. Ukraine's Air Force called the results "impeccable." Rheinmetall is now planning to scale production to 400 systems per year by 2027 - a decision driven directly by what Ukraine proved in combat. The drone war created the demand. Ukraine created the proof of concept.

Ground crew is conduct functional movement checks on the 20 millimeter cannon of an AH-1Z. The Bell AH-1Z Viper uses the M197 20mm three-barrel Gatling cannon mounted in a chin turret. What makes it effective is not just the gun itself, but how it can be aimed in three different ways depending on the mission and pilot input. 1) Fixed forward (boresight / aircraft-aligned) In this mode, the cannon is pointed straight ahead, aligned with the helicopter’s nose. 2) Sensor-slewed / electro-optical tracking Here, the cannon is linked to the helicopter’s targeting sensors (EO/IR turret), see on the video. 3) Helmet/Head-Tracked aiming (pilot line-of-sight cueing) In this mode, the gun can be cued by the pilot’s head movement via the helmet-mounted display system. 🎥 🅾 hmla169_vipers

Thanks to the high level of automation, the howitzer crew consists of only two soldiers, with an emergency station for a third crewman in the turret. DITA is built on the Tatra 815 chassis and weighs 29 tonnes. The range is 39km and the sustained fire rate is 5 rounds per minute. Series production for specific customers started this year.

‼️🇵🇱 BREAKING - Poland will rapidly field WLKM 4-barrel 12.7 mm anti-aircraft Gatling guns after an incursion of Russian drones exposed weaknesses in the Polish air-defense shield. The WLKM is essentially the Polish analogue of the American Minigun. It was first unveiled in 2017 and was originally intended for integration on armored vehicles, helicopters, and ships; however, it was ultimately decided to use it against drones. The Gatling gun has a cyclic rate of fire of 3,600 rounds per minute and can neutralize targets at ranges up to 2,200 meters. See the latest updates with us: Visioner
