The MT-LB is the well-known multi-purpose armoured personnel carrier that was fitted with a huge variation of armament, including the “Shturm-S” missile system, which was capable of destroying heavily armoured targets.
The MT-LB, also known as “Mnogotselevoy Tyagach Legky Bronirovanny” in Russian (which stands for “Multi-Purpose Towing Vehicle Light Armoured”), has been mass-produced since 1966. The vehicle was primarily used as an artillery tractor that acted as a means of transport of the gun crew and ammunition complements. However, as it happens with every well-designed platform, the carrier ultimately became a base for all kinds of armament sets. In the early 70s, the USSR began development of an anti-tank hypersonic missile system with a strike range of up to 5,000 metres for armoured targets. The system received the designation “Shturm” and was intended to be equipped on both air and ground units. In the end, it was the MT-LB that was chosen as the base for the former role. In 1979, the new ground combat vehicle was put into service under the designation 9P149 “Shturm-S”.
9P149 «Shturm-S». Anti-tank missile carrier, USSR/Russia, rank VI.
Pros
- “Shturm” and “Ataka” ATGMs
- Very low profile
- Swims! (capable of travelling across water)
Cons
- Poor defence
- Easy prey from the air
Briefly: The 9P149 will make the perfect vehicle for hunting down enemy armour. Fantastic mobility, low profile, and 12 guided missiles in stock!
In War Thunder, the 9P149 “Shturm-S” will join the ranks of the Soviet rocket systems as a lethal and stealthy hunter of the enemy heavy armour. Its light weight enables the vehicle to be highly mobile and travel at a speed of 60 km/h when moving forward and 10 km/h when going in reverse. Moreover, its low profile and lack of any kind of superstructures (not counting the launch system) allows the 9P149 to stay stealthy even in relatively flat terrain. The vehicle is only fitted with protection against bullets – even its most-armoured spots have a thickness of 14 mm, and the reason for that is because the 9P149 was never intended to be deployed at the frontlines.
The “Shturm” ATGM is capable of reaching enemy units as far as 5 kilometres away, and its missiles have a penetration capacity of 560 mm and if it will be not enough it has also “Ataka” ATGM which can penetrate 800mm armour, which should suffice for practically any target on the battlefield. And this combat vehicle carries as many as 12 of these deadly missiles! In the case it’s impossible to get close enough to the enemy on land, the MT-LB can travel on water at a speed up of 6 km/h and even shoot from short stops while floating.
Fun fact: throughout its 50 years in service, over 80 different kinds of sub-models of the MT-LB were created, ranging from APCs to weapons systems, some of which are still in use to this day.
The 9P149 “Shturm-S” is a rather frail yet lethal combat vehicle – especially if you are proficient at ambush tactics and aren’t too lazy to change your position quite often. Our Soviet ATGM carrier will appear in War Thunder update 1.89 very soon, and we are just as excited about its appearance in the game as you are!

ever thought of this one ? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Renault_VAB_(HOT)_MEPHISTO_in_the_Mus%C3%A9e_des_Blind%C3%A9s_pic1.jpg
could you instead of adding new shiny vehicles every patch, fix the bs and ground battle earnings. im trying to get the m1a1 and i need over a million ####### silver lions but its almost impossible because i keep dying for bs reasons
if you are unlocking the m1a1 and don't have the SL, you are doing something wrong. High rank will never be profitable in free to play games as they want their players to play lower rank too, and that is where most of the SL are made. Play some 4.7 - 6.7 and make a lot of SL, especially with some premiums. For example; the premium Comet (Iron Duke) at 5.0 prints SL, but so do most premiums that aren't niche vehicles.
Looks like gaijin has stopped giving a ------ about planes! air RB is so broken right now. Japanese dominate the game because nobody can keep up with the T2. the best way to fix air RB is through by making tank! Good job gaijin. cant wait to see what tank you produce next.
Well, they haven't shown everything the patch comes with yet, have they?
I hope you're aware that all of the devblogs haven't been released yet, Maybe wait a little before getting all rustled up over nothing?
Sooo . . . Another vehicle for russia, which every hight rank tank is ALREADY an atgm luncher, while some nation still don't have a proper one. Yeah, no surprise here. Gaijin being gaijin. I hope you add 1 or two for nations that are missing them. French: Amx 13 VCI cotac (8.0), VAB mephisto (9.3), AMX 10 P (9.7). Japan, a Type 79 atgm on a troop carrier (like what you did for italian tow) (9.3).
The Type 89 IFV should get an upgradeable module for it's HE proxy fuse warheads.
First of all: the Soviet Union made a lot of tanks and since the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia also made quite some tanks. So don't complain that the Russians get another vehicle. It's just historical. And yes there were a million leopards, but if you add every leopard in the game you just could've made a different tech tree for the leopards.
Is this classified as an SPG or a light tank, would be interesting to help repair and spot enemies with
Will we see T-90 or T-72B series this update?
i dont know but i think yes most likely T-90S/A OR T-72B1 if not this update then next guess they have problems making Stora balanced
Can Japan get some love with this patch?(Somethings like a tank)
sir I love you ive been wanting a new tank for six or seven months omg just add some gayjin
also why cant they add the type 10 hitomaru its not that new and yea it was made in 2012 but the abrams was made in 1980 and is still being used in the present 2019 so is the type 10 why cant they add this if they add the semi modern tanks for every other nation?
Goofy, fun, but good vehicles. This is wot I want from updates, not ridiculous power creep. I look forward to getting this sneaky boi BMP-3 when? )))))))))
please keep doing pros and cons
because russia needs more AT apcs *cries in m113 atgm event only vehicle*
M113 atgm are not event vehicles, Tow in Italian Tree and type 60 ATM in Japanese Tree.
