It does not appear that they are.

Highly unlikely. The Gepards have not been until their phase out of service in the German Army. To my knowledge they are unmodified.

That seems like it would have been the optimal load / a hell of an advertisement for the concept.

I agree. But instead it seems a propper SPAA can score direct hits onto drones so reliable HEI is good enough and the effect of a single high is a kill. It might be the case that with current drone technology air burst is not needed if the FCS is sofisticated enough.

Pretty spectacular shot with what looks to be a NLAW:

So where is the 35mm ammo coming from if Swiss are refusing reexport.

Some bizarre point blank tank action. Supposedly coordinated with help of said drone

There are other manufacturers of 35 mm. Nammo/Raufoss from Norway for example. This would also explain why currently only HEI is used.

Ukraine is already having an effect on shaping Army priorities and logistics.

Drones and precision weapons galore .............

Chinese MLRS , payloads include loitering munitions, cruise missiles ..... and a massive industrial base to actually make these in huge numbers

Norinco SR5 universal missile system, sold to several countries. A wide range of weapons is presented for it, including the FireDragon 300 ballistic missile (610 mm caliber), KingDragon 150 (300 mm), KingDragon 60 (220 mm), FireDragon 70 (220 mm), FireDragon 40 (122 mm) and FireDragon 40A (122 mm) guided missiles, as well as barrage ammunition Loitering Dragon 60A and Loitering Dragon 60B (the numbers in the index apparently also mean the firing range in kilometers)

Seems basically like a knock off of the Korean K239 Chunmoo, which is itself a 12 shot HIMARS / wheeled M270 MLRS.

I dont think they copied the Korean MLRS , in any case its the payloads and firecontrol that make the MLRS these days , in addition to palletized reload vs manual or round-per-round reload of soviet designs.

On the other hand new Chinese  CETC definetly looks like a straight up copycat  of TB2
