== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}

The 2S25 design consists fully of special alloy with lesser armour effectiveness than RHA (Rolled Homogeneous Armour). Due to the 2S25 using alloy means that 50. Calibre rounds can pass through the 40 mm plate up to 500m away and 20mm autocannons found on the MBT-70, KPZ-70 and the Leopard 2k can pass through the 40 mm plate up to 1000m away however the other parts of the frontal armour is suffiiciently angled to deflect 50. Calibre rounds and 20 mm shells at any range. Due to the weak side and back armour on the 2S25 weak side armour and should always be hidden from the enemy as 50. Calibre ronúnds and 20 mm shells can go through at any range. Any other IFV armed with an autocannon will be able to destroy the 2S25 from any angle.

The 2S25 has a total of 3 crew members which makes the survivability of the vehicle is very low as any penetrating rounds will very likely destroy it in one shot.

Due to the thin armour of the 2S25 it becomes highly susceptible to large-calibre HE shells that will be able to overpressure the 2S25 even if it lands next to it.

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Fairly mobile, decent turn rate
* Adjustable suspension allowing for clearance height adjustment
* Good ammunition choices for its BR: 3BM42 and 9M119 are more than good enough to handle most enemies it faces
* Access to the excellent 3OF26 HEF-T explosive round which can disable or destroy targets behind cover if the top of their turret is visible
* Access to laser rangefinder allowing for quick long-range shots

'''Cons:'''

* Lack of thermals for both the gunner and commander mean you cannot effectively hunt for targets at dusk or during night battles
* Relatively slow reload rate of 7.1 seconds
* Very thin armour, which does little to stop anything but MG fire and autocannon rounds at a distance

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''
