Ukraine’s Armor Appears To Have A Russian Attack Helicopter Problem
Russian Ka-52 attack helicopters’ presence at the front highlights the need for highly mobile and survivable short-range air defenses.

Isnt this what the gepard was designed for?
EDIT: Among the SHORAD provided by Western allies, the most important include the AN/TWQ-1 Avenger, 20 of which were supplied by the United States starting late last year, and which are armed with Stinger missiles, and the German-made Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG). Germany has supplied 52 Gepards, with further examples now due to be delivered from Jordanian stocks.
Yes, but so far Germany has provided 52 vehicles which is probably not enough for the whole front.
Edit: Sorry didn't see your edit.
@Thorny_Thicket @Eqweytr Gepard can only help to a limited degree because the Russian KA-52s have ATGMs that have a significantly longer range than a Gepard.
