At the Army-2024 exhibition, Rostec presented a modernized version of the 2S25M 125mm amphibious light tank, designated as the Sprut-SDM1. A key feature of this latest model is its enhanced armor, which now includes additional protective elements such as screens and grilles. These modifications are intended to improve the vehicle's resistance to small-caliber gunfire. While the armor cannot withstand large-caliber projectiles, it provides protection against smaller threats commonly encountered during airborne operations. Read full defense news at this link...
