Some asked if a #Gepard can find and track #Shahed-136 because of the small profile. For example, in this video you can see the size of a target drone and towed bag. The profile of the drone is about the size of a Shahed. The towed bag from the front has a very small profile.
Here you can see the size of target drones at the life firing range in Todendorf GE. It is a small air-moped. The MPDR 12 from the Gepard can track this size of drones at full range from 16 km below. The towed bag is small in Diameter. You can imagine how the Radar tracks CMs. 
And it can go even smaller. At shooting breaks we sometimes locked on sea gulls and the Radar tracked them. In 2017 and 2018 a Project Team from Germany went to Qatar to test if the Gepard can even track small UAS. Qatar ordered 15 Gepard 1A2 after the results.
