"With its 35mm guns, this Gepard alone has already been able to destroy two Russian cruise missiles and a double-digit number of drones, says Max, confirming for the first time that a Gepard can cope very well with these targets under combat conditions."

"The Shahed drones are very easy to fight when we are in range," says Max. The Gepard's search radar can detect them well, and the explosive munitions then make short work of the slow drones.
"During an operation near Odessa, ten drones were shot down within a short time. This countered the tactics of the Iranian Kamikaz drones, which are usually sent out in swarms to overwhelm the air defences."

Esto lo digo porque la campaña para destruir infraestructura energética ucraniana la están realizando principalmente con misiles de crucero, cosa que podrían haber hecho desde el día 1. Los drones en este aspecto no son ningún "game changer", son más baratos pero más limitados.
No son ningún cambio para Rusia ni es una capacidad realmente nueva quiero decir, ya podían realizar ese tipo de acciones con LACM y SRBM. Los drones plantean otros retos pero no son los que están causando la mayor parte de los daños.

Desde la barra del bar supongo que aprobarán un techo de gasto teniendo en cuenta la inflación y otros riesgos que no tienen por qué suceder. De todos modos lo presupuestado es menos de los 6300 millones CHF aprobados en referéndum para la adquisición.
Justo en la rueda de prensa contestan a esto y es resultado de la inflación (malamente lo entiendo con subtítulos), a ver si lo encuentro por escrito...
