2S25 Sprut-SD & 2S25M Sprut-SDM1 | The Russian airdroppable self-propelled anti-tank guns

We are investigating the 2S25 Sprut-SD & 2S25M Sprut-SDM1, one of the most advanced airborne armoured vehicles today. #2S25 #Sprut_SD #VDV
Which historical events did pave the way for the development of such vehicles?
Why does Russia need to develop the 2S25M, the successor of the 2S25?
What are the differences between the Sprut-SD and Sprut-SDM1?
Do other airborne armoured vehicles, such as the ZTQ-15, Wiesel, or M1128 MGS, has the same capabilities as the 2S25?

Welcome to our channel. All the weapon systems are like books, and they tell us their stories. The Weapon Detective investigates these books, reads between the lines, analyses them, and tells the untold. At the dawn of the Second Cold War, the fruits of new projects give us clues about the future. But current weapon systems also have their own stories. In our videos, you can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. While the Second Cold War is rising, Let's investigate the weapons together.

it's an airdroppable T72 without armor ... thank you for your formidable videos .

[@annoyedcat9291]

@James Stewart Why would the Russians airdrop a light tank without airborne troops?

[@gattonero2915]

@@jamesstewart514 "So a RPG will destroy it and NLAWs and Javelins will launch the turret." This is the same sentiment given to the M551 Sheridan after they became an easy prey for anti-tank mines and RPG-2 during the Vietnam War. Surprise only to you but not to anyone else with a brain, Airborne vehicle has thin armor that save weight but not so much giving its crew Survivability. Ask any other Airborne vehicle designer and they'll tell you Airborne vehicles are not survivable in prolonged combat. The fact that you think this is a detriment exclusive to Russian airborne vehicle is laughable at best, worrying at worst.

Even if you don't air drop, this is great for fast, light maneuver forces, it is also amphibious. Lots of nth/sth rivers in Europe/Russia, start with the Dnieper, and plan accordingly.

Crazy, no joke, I was just looking up this exact weapon a couple of days ago. The towed version resembles the D-30 howitzer. I was also interested in purchasing the vehicle in miniature for wargaming. It's one of those systems which for one reason or another, stand out in my mind.

[@TheBic4]

I can only imagine how easily these will catastrophically detonate once penetrated like the bmp-3 and BMD-4s do. This is due to Russia not adhering to international insensitive munitions standards and their fuzes can be set off by overpressure once the hull is penetrated, the munition doesn’t even need to hit by shrapnel.

@@username_3715 i mentioned its not amphibious buts its funny you think the sprut would ever be airdropped in a actual war. the cargo aircraft would be shot down well before it got to its destination. hence why russia didnt even attempt paradrop landings in ukraine. what real world difference does it make that c-130 cant carry it either when we have the c-5 galaxy?

[@Fragaut]

6:53 Recoil is a thing ...

[@SuperChodot]

It's recoil right after the charge leave the barrel, probably they design it that way.

[@napoleonbonaparte1429]

Give it a better fire control system, slightly heavier armour, although heavy era would be better, a muzzle brake, better suspension and tracks, aswell as a slightly more powerful engine, probably by supercharging.

[@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko]

Light tanks are not meant to be equipped with thick armor. It's meant to provide firepower against lightly armored vehicles but Spurts tank's firepower is so powerful that it can destroy a main battle tank which is why it is unique

[@remistiegler5302]

France has a similar capability with the AMX10 RC : the light weeled tank is airdroppable, has a similar weight, a STANAG level 5 armor on the latest RCR version and it can play the role of a tank/armored vehicle destroyer with its 105mm gun. Not the same caliber as the Sprut but still a nice and punchy firepower : during the 1st Gulf War, Iraki tanks stood no chances against the AMX10 RCs

[@WeaponDetective]

Thanks for your interest. Please check out our AMX-10RC video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ7IlnSOgdqYjNE

[@remistiegler5302]

@Violent Cabbage yes, the 105mm APFSDS shell has been designed to defeat the Soviet armor of its time: T64, T72, early T90. Both AMX10 RC light tank and AMX30 MBT use this ammo. But I agree it wouldn't be enough against the latest reactive armors

[@remistiegler5302]

@Violent Cabbage I've seen footages of the Daguet Operation during the first Gulf War in which French AMXs destroyed Iraki T72s with ERA with great effectiveness. Both AMX models sent (AMX 30 and AMX10 RC) have an 105mm barrel. But I agree with you, this caliber is now obsolete, even against the early versions of the modern NATO MBTs. That's why I like the smart move made by the French army to replace its 90/105mm light tanks by the Jaguar. This new recon tank is equipped with a 40mm autocannon to smash anything that aren't MBTs and MMP/Akeron ATGMs to safely destroy MBTs while being under cover

[@darthrex354]

Marines spent the tank budget on F-35(b)s. This will surely end well.

[@legatvsdecimvs3406]

But there are also Russian Marines and Coastal Troops though, and they get the same tanks as the Regular Army.

[@robertlackey7212]

With drones knocking out tanks on their thin top armor , and insurgents knocking out tanks in their weak rear armor , why do tanks need heavy front armor ? I think this is the future , 4 of these are much more effective than one MBT . and they will get there first.

[@robertlackey7212]

@Violent Cabbage I think there is a lot of room for gray areas , you might have good air defense but not in the valleys , or not on all the supply lines , or not above a certain altitude. I really think dollar for dollar ground based air defense is better because you can make the missiles so big and haul them around on trucks . How do you escape from a mach 16 missile with a 400Km range ? and if you figure that out the truck has 3 more just like it !

[@zali13]

Love the VDV. They learned the lessons of WW2 airborne operations- drop unsupported paratroopers into the middle or near armoured units and they get slaughtered while waiting for friendly tanks. Solution- DROP ARMOUR WITH THEM!

[@profesercreeper]

they couldn't have learned too much since they rarely deployed paratroopers in ww2. Many western countries consider their paratrooper light infantry and use them accordingly and has been very effective. Having armor with you exponentially increases the supply cost and with that comes the mindset of using ur paratroopers in non light infantry roles as you can see in Ukraine the vdv are being slaughtered.

[@cczevak5313]

@@profesercreeper In Gostomel, yes. Elsewhere the VDV have operated effectively, particularly during the battle for Kherson.

[@bgshin2879]

Thx. Judging by the dancing after firing, its max effective combat range would unlikely be over 1000m (TBH I would not feel comfortable firing anything beyond 500m). Also the missile firing demo shows it missed its target…. Having a such big gun with huge recoil with such light body makes it almost useless as a tank but more useful as a fire support vehicle or assault armoured vehicle (basically APC with big gun) which does not carry troops and does not have the accuracy unlike most modern tanks. This looks good on paper, but in a battle theatre, easy target for 2/3rd gen ATGM and IEDs. I would be surprised if it can withstand even RPG7.

[@jerry4251]
