2S25 Sprut Airborne Tank Destroyer




via Reality Mod.
The Russians have a light tank destroyer based on the BMP-3 that can literally shred any allied APC.  Additionally it should serve well in the fire support role for their airborne forces.

This vehicle is another disturbing example of how lightly equipped our own airborne forces are.

The Russians have the capability to fly, drop by parachute and then storm off a drop zone with mechanized firepower.  Would it have the same throw weight of a Stryker formation?  No.  Would it heel stomp the capabilities found in the 82nd?  Definitely.
