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.
Wait, the crews are dropped along with the tank, sitting inside? Wow. I thought Halo ODST are badass. Never mind, these tank crews have taken the crown.
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.
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.
@@spacecraft8498there are far less vulnerable light tanks like the ZTQ-15, M10 Booker, CV-90120 and Kaplan MT (I know it’s marketed as a medium tank but shut up its about the same as the other light tanks). Just because it’s a light tank doesn’t mean that it SHOULD explode and vaporized itself and the crew 💀 BMP-3 and BMD-4 (which the Sprut shares in common the most) losses in Ukraine is far more catastrophic than BMP-1 and 2, with the entire hull and turret blown to kingdom come with only the road wheels and pieces of tracks remains. Imagine fitting T-72 autoloader into a BMP-3 hull with dozens of 125mm HE shells along with propellants, that shit would be pulverized by glorified RPG-armed mosquitos
"The crew are inside when the self propelled gun is airdropped"; later at the Russian V.A. "We are sorry to inform you that your injuries are deemed not service related and your claim has been denied....🤣🤣🤣
Very impressive light tank with no equivalents in the US and the West so far. It could be a more potent weapon if equipped with advanced ATGM counter-measures, automatic enemy detection and fire control systems.
@@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?
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.
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
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
@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
@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
It has always been US Marines and Russian Paratroopers... Marines just decided they don't need their tanks, Russians on the other hand are starting to bring their tanks with them paras as well, I hope giving up on tanks doesn't end up for Marines as bad as giving up on aircraft guns turned out a poor decision for air force...
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.
@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 !
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.
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!
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.
can someone please explain to me why does Russia don't have these modern tanks in Ukraine if they had those tanks they wouldn't have their butts handed to them

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

Marines spent the tank budget on F-35(b)s. This will surely end well.
But there are also Russian Marines and Coastal Troops though, and they get the same tanks as the Regular Army.
Don't know how they gonna drop their troops and light tanks from plane when AA defend systems are everywhere, SEAD mission is hard.
Marines use lav25 or lav3
Ehm, it's armour defeating capabilities aren't adequate to penitrate the frontal armour of a modern mbt..
That depends on the 125mm shell or missile used, since these are standardized between T-90 and 2S25.
