I am looking forward to Ukraine taking out the main gas line to Moscow, hopefully xmas eve, so that Moscow has a freezing cold xmas with a cold xmas dinners and even better a black xmas with no lights as well.

I wonder how the Gepards are doing? Are they getting the ammunition they need?

I saw an article a few weeks ago saying that they were working well, some additional ones had been found but the problem was that there are no more. This system seems to be the modern replacement, and very capable it looks too.
As an aside I think that I am right in believing that the USA doesn't have anything even close to this capability. Its a gap that they need to look at.

We are woefully unprepared for drone warfare, offensive or defensive.
For those who didn't follow European events recently -
Moscow does not supply gas to Ukraine. Moscow wages a war against Ukraine.
Probably, they will last until there are spares. Ammunition, hopefully, is not a problem anymore, since it's compatible with new systems and Rheinmetall scales up the production.
The Swedes won't supply C/DGripens until they get E/Fs entering service.

beyond the paywall:
"Our meta-estimate suggests that, from the beginning of the full-scale invasion to January of this year, Russian casualties amounted to 640,000–877,000 soldiers, of whom 137,000–228,000 have died. By October 13th, those totals had risen by almost 60%, to 984,000–1,438,000 casualties, including 190,000–480,000 dead."
"There is too little data for us to generate a meta-estimate of the cost to Ukraine. However, UALosses, a website, has catalogued 77,403 deaths among Ukrainian soldiers since the full-scale invasion began (it reckons a further 77,842 are missing in action). By date of death, there has been a marked downward trend since last autumn, with 8,668 fatalities recorded this year. Crucially, that is a lower bound, and although independent investigations have confirmed the fate of soldiers in the list, no one knows how many are missing from that count. Moreover, recent deaths are less likely to be in the database, as recording them takes time (some will never be included). But even if the true number is twice the tally, the figures would imply a ratio this year of roughly five Russian soldiers killed for every Ukrainian."
"Our rough calculations suggest that the soldiers killed in the war amount to 0.5%-1.2% of Russia's pre-war cohort of men under the age of 60, compared to 0.6%-1.3% for Ukraine, taking UAlosses' record of dead, and dead plus missing, as a starting guess."
