2A45 Sprut-A, 2A45M Sprut-B and 2S25 Sprut-SD (Russian for Octopus orKraken) are the designations of the Soviet smoothbore 125 mm anti-tank gun.The most distinctive feature of the Sprut-B is its integrated engine, which can propel the gun on relatively flat surfaces (up to 15 degrees slope) and at 14 km/h on roads. This gives the gun a measure of mobility on the battle field. It takes 2 minutes to go from firing position to travelling position and 1.5 minutes to go from travelling position to firing position. Such guns are known in Russian as "self-moving" (ÑамодвижÑÑиеÑÑ) as opposed to self-propelled(ÑÐ°Ð¼Ð¾Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð½Ñе), and outside of battle it is towed by an MT-LB.
The gun features a crew of seven. During the day the OP4M-48A direct fire sight is used, at night the 1PN53-1 night vision sight is used. For indirect fire the 2Ts33 iron sights are used, along with the PG-1m panoramic sight. The gun can reliably engage targets 2 metres high at a distance of 2000 metres.
The barrel features a thermal sleeve to prevent temperature changes affecting the accuracy. The gun uses the same split ammunition as the T-64, T-72, T-80and T-90 tanks.
With an additional piece of equipment of the 9S53, laser guided projectiles like the 9M119 Svir or 9K120 Refleks can be fired.
