Ukrainian soldiers showcase the German-made Gepard anti-aircraft gun that protects the skies over Ukraine's Odesa region. The region has been a frequent target of Russian missile and drone attacks, hitting critical infrastructure and ports as the grain trade between the two warring countries collapsed. "I trust this equipment, I trust its armour, I trust it in everything," says the driver-mechanic, who goes by the call sign "Duran". The Gepard has two 35mm guns, one on each side of a turret, capable of firing 500 rounds per minute. It has a search radar and sighting equipment. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
