Don't they have gun AA systems as well though? Wouldn't they be more effective against drones or are the radars unsuitable for the small targets.
Not sure if the Gepard required modifications or not to target drones, thought I had heard it could do a pretty good job at taking them out if it's at range. Probably not so much if there is uneven terrain for the drones to move through.
Very little range though compared to a missile.
Also spraying thousands of large caliber bullets a minute into the air isn't a great idea in a populated area around the capital. They might hit somebody important.
Of course, based on the video, they aren't exactly doing much better in that regard with the missles..
