У 201 Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Гепард («зенітна гармата танкового гепарда», більш відома як Flakpanzer Gepard) - це всепогодна німецька самохідна зенітна установка (SPAAG). Він був розроблений в 1960-х роках і випущений в 1970-х роках, і кілька разів модернізувався новітньою електронікою. Вона стала наріжним каменем протиповітряної оборони німецької армії (Бундесверу) та низки інших країн НАТО. У Німеччині «Гепард» був припинений в кінці 2010 року і замінений на Wiesel 2 Ozelot Leichtes Flugabwehrsystem (LeFlaSys) на чотири ракетні установки FIM-92 Stinger або LFK NG.

General Characteristics
The Polikarpov Po-2, originally designated U-2 (for ‘Uchebnyy’ or ‘Training’), is a Soviet utility and trainer biplane designed by Nikolai Polikarpov. First flying in 1928, it became one of the most produced aircraft in history, with estimates up to 40,000 units built. Its simple, rugged, wood-and-fabric construction made it inexpensive, easy to maintain, and capable of operating from small, unprepared airfields (STOL capability). During World War II, despite being obsolete, it was effectively used as a light night bomber, liaison, medical evacuation, and reconnaissance aircraft. It was famously flown by the all-female 588th Night Bomber Regiment, nicknamed the “Night Witches” by the Germans, who also called the plane the “Nähmaschine” (sewing machine) due to the sound of its engine.

Powerplant and Performance
- Engine: One Shvetsov M-11D / M-11FR 5-cylinder, air-cooled radial engine.
- Power Output: Typically 93–119 kW (125–160 hp) depending on the variant.
- Maximum Speed: Approx. 130–152 km/h (81–94 mph).
- Cruising Speed: Approx. 100–110 km/h (62–68 mph).
- Note: This slow speed was often an advantage against German fighters, whose stall speed was higher than the Po-2’s top speed.
- Range: Approx. 450–630 km (280–390 mi).
- Service Ceiling: Approx. 3,000–4,000 m (9,800–13,100 ft).
- Key Design Feature: All-wood airframe with fabric covering, making it virtually invisible to early radar.
Armament (Light Bomber Variant)
- Defensive Armament: One rear-facing 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun in the observer’s cockpit (in U-2VS/Po-2 LNB variants).
- Bombload (External): Up to 300–350 kg (660–770 lb) of bombs carried on racks beneath the lower wings and fuselage.
- Typical load: Six FAB-50 (50 kg) bombs.
- Combat Use: Used primarily for “nuisance raids” at night, often gliding silently over targets after cutting the engine.
- Wingspan: 11.40 m (37 ft 5 in).
- Length: 8.17 m (26 ft 10 in).
