Ukraine uses mobile fire groups against the Shahed-136 they pump a lot of lead into the air pickups with anti-aircraft guns (ZU-23-2), large-calibre machine guns, machine guns, and man-portable air defence systems (Ihla, Stinger) they accounted for about 40% of the downed drones it allows Ukraine to save anti-aircraft-guided missiles. Mobile fire groups are not only part of the Air Force, but also of all the Defence Forces, the Border Guards, the National Guard, and the Army. This is a necessary to shoot down the maximum number of Shahed before they fly up to larger air defence systems like NASAMS, Iris-T, etc. To destroy them with small arms so that Ukraine keeps a stockpile of anti-aircraft missiles to repel a cruise missile attack and deter Russian aircraft. Gepard is the best in this regard in terms of cost-effectiveness, but it also has a limited range of 4.5 kilometres to shoot down with ground-based projectiles. Therefore, Ukraine need more of them.
