	The creation of a self-propelled anti-tank gun for the needs of the airborne forces began in the USSR in the 70s.

In total, from 2005 to 2010, the Russian army purchased more than 30 units of the 2S25 self-propelled anti-tank gun.

 The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]].
-The 2S25 "Sprut-SD" is a modern entry in the long line of Soviet amphibious tanks started by the [[PT-76B]]. It uses the lightweight chassis of the BMD-3 airborne IFV, which offers a great power-to-weight ratio, a hydropneumatic suspension, and equal mobility in both forward and reverse at the cost of extremely light protection and a rather large profile. The oddly-shaped turret packs a full-size 125 mm gun with autoloader, giving the Sprut the same firepower as the [[T-72B]]! Using this vehicle effectively can be tricky because it is significantly easier to spot and destroy than contemporary Soviet MBTs while lacking access to thermal optics for easy target acquisition, so it's important to make the most out of the high mobility to ambush enemies and retreat from danger.

-The Sprut-D leaves nothing to expect, high mobility and country-cross capabilities with a very powerful engine and reliable transmission. As seen in tanks based on the BMP-3 hull, the T/W ratio is impressive, giving a lightly armored vehicle a very high max speed as well as torque to advance even through the roughest of terrains. As it's predecessor, it can reach speeds up to 70 km/h and 20 km/h on reverse with a gear change time from max forward drive to reverse in close to 5 seconds. It holds the ability to cross over water bodies, giving it an advantage in reaching positions no other vehicles are able to reach whatsoever. It has the ability to neutral steer, a feature not seen often in Russian vehicles.

-{{main|2A75 (125 mm)}}The Sprut-D is armed with a 2A75 125 mm smoothbore cannon, a similar cannon in performance as the T series tanks capable of firing the same munitions. It has access to the 3BM42 'Mango' dart, the same dart seen in the early T-72s and T-64s. While it lacks penetration compared to other rounds at the battle-rating (such as M900), it has very decent performance against anything it faces. It lacks punch when it comes to fighting in up-tiers as the dart might not be able to penetrate the frontal plates or mantlet of the MBTs. However, any well placed side shot should be more than enough to dispatch a target with no more than a single shot.
