The 2S25 Sprut-SD self-propelled amphibious assault gun is a new top-end light tank in the USSR / RF armored vehicle research tree.
2S25 Sprut-SD, light tank, USSR, VII rank
Pros
- Good anti-tank gun
- Barrel launched ATGMs
- Reversible gearbox
Cons
- Vulnerable internal layout
- Lacks thermal imager
The creation of a self-propelled anti-tank gun for the needs of the airborne forces began in the USSR in the 70s. In 1985, the requirements for the future vehicle were specified - in particular, the main weapon of the vehicle was to be a 125-mm smoothbore gun, unified with the shells of the T-72 tank. Work on the creation of the Sprut (Russian for ‘big octopus’) dragged on for 20 long years, but in September 2005, the vehicle, created on the basis of the BMD-3 IFV, was put into service. After the bankruptcy of the initial manufacturer, the 2S25 project, together with the BMD-4 produced in the same place, passed to the Kurganmashzavod, where the machine was unified with the BMD-4M and under the designation 2S25M "Sprut-SDM1" exists only in the form of prototypes. In total, from 2005 to 2010, the Russian army purchased more than 30 units of the 2S25 self-propelled anti-tank gun.
The 2S25 Sprut-SD, a new top-tier light tank in the USSR/Russia armored vehicle research tree, will appear in the game with the release of the major update "Direct Hit" at Rank VII. This compact amphibious vehicle is the only "specialist" of its kind in the destruction of tanks in the service of airborne forces. Built on the chassis of the BMD series combat vehicles, this tank destroyer is armed with a 125 mm 2A75 smoothbore cannon, specially created for the 2S25 project.
The range of Sprut shells fully corresponds to the the T-72B tank: HE and HEATFS shells, two APFSDS nails with a penetration of more than 470mm, as well as 9M119 guided missiles. These ATGMs are well known to the commanders of Soviet tanks - launch through the barrel, high armor penetration, good speed and sufficient maneuverability. In general, the Sprut is able to crash any target that is in the crosshair of the sight.
And what about the survivability? No surprises here, alas. The armor of the 2S25 is light, made of aluminum alloy - the designers were significantly limited by the requirements for the maximum weight, because the Sprut-SD is an airborne delivered vehicle. The crew is only 3 people, and they are all located inside the fighting compartment quite close to each other and from the automatic loader. Finally, the ammunition of guided missiles is placed on shelves along the sides of the 2S25 manned compartment, which greatly reduces the chance of survival of the crew when any shell penetrates into the vehicle.
The maximum speed of the 2S25 is 70 km/h, in fact however, the vehicle accelerates to only 40-50 km/h on unpaved roads - not so much, even in comparison with the MBTs. However, the Sprut-SD has a reversible gearbox, that is, the reverse speed of the vehicle is equal to the forward speed - a very, very useful feature when shooting from behind cover. 2S25 can float - two water jets allow you to move through the water at low speed.
Look for the new 2S25 Sprut-SD tank destroyer in the top of the line of light tanks of the USSR/Russia with the release of the War Thunder major update "Direct Hit" . And don’t forget to, follow our development diaries, of course - here we talk about the most interesting new features of the upcoming update!

3BM42, no thermals. On a tank from 2005. Why even bother adding this? No one wants a light tank with no thermals and a shell 20 years older than it. Should have made it a Sprut-SDM1 or added M1 as a modification (like the T-80B/T-80U/BMP-3/2S6M1) and given it 3BM46 or 3BM60 at 10.3-10.7 like the Centauro MGS and CV90120. This better be below 10.0.
its 9.7
same issue with the PTL 02 on first release. One patch later it receive a needed buff so that a 2002 tank destroyer won't be limited to a 1960s top APFSDS round and it could rangefind with a laser, as 2002-made tanks should
Great because another amphibious light tank is definitely something Russia is missing. Boring. Try focusing on other smaller and underdeveloped trees please, instead of the big three always getting the most content.
Go tell those other countries to develop more vehicles for gaijin to eventually add, then.
Russia is the only nation of the 3 to have received a ton of attention this update (so far). I don't even think Germany or America have had a single vehicle shown yet, or even hinted at!
Cutie. Gonna be fun to use.
Dozer is satisfied, this is a rare case
_BlackOwl_, had to take a screen shot of this for it may be a very long time before it is seen again, if ever.
No thermal? WTF?? that's a scout vehicle! with a gun like that! how no thermal? the thing it really needs the most.
Remeber, the m1128 is at 9.3 with gen3 commander and gunner thermals with excellent survuvability, while the rad90 is at 9.3 without thermals and any top tier shells like m900 on m1128
TahsinQrF, I remind you that the stryker is slower than a mbt and more difficult to hide. It is absolutely not agile. Even on dirt it turns out to be less fast and agile than a Leo 1. You are only taking into account the positives, that is thermals and ammunition, while as always people give a damn about the fact that everything else on the stryker sucks.
great this will surely counter the CITV , Top attack missiles and autocannons with apfds literally every other 9.7 light tank has, why couldnt you give us the M1? the "It's a prototype" boohoo? literally okay and? like....?? you have the 685 in the TT, you have the T-80B's thermals in the TT, then why cant you give this thing M1 upgrade so it can compete with all the other bulls*** at higher tiers.
Well, the 2k pt14 doesnt have thermals in game even though it had irl, and its at 9.7, so im not surprised why this doesnt have
Who needs thermals when you have BOAT?
Gaijin I've got a cool challenge for you!! are you ready hahah?!?!?! ok here it is!!! Try not giving Russia a top tier tank and airplane every patch!! Can you do it??? :O It's a hard challenge!!
They may have a lot of tanks but most of the top tier ones perform at a mediocre level at best when compared to Germany or Sweden, or even America now that the M1IP carriers the m900.
They can't do it, they don't have the power
YOu know there are other nations in your game not just Russia... right? Dont get me wrong I love russian tech but....
This looks like its gonna be a Sweden update to me.
Begs for ww2 content of any kind (except ships)
What about that Swedish p38t meatball carrier?
Finally a good light tank for Top Tier URSS after so many time
Not with no thermals and 3BM42 only it isn't
QuantumLeclerc, *Laughs in VFM5 which turns into crying*
F-105 this update? Please Snail Lord?
Snail Lord here. How about another F-104 for Italy?
Twas in the leaks so perhaps?
