No one can ascertain the current Earth year (or if there is still Earth at all), so we start the count from Vostorg-7 year 0. This year marked the arrival of a joint Russian-Chinese colonization probe on Vostorg-7, a probe dispatched a very long time ago - in the early 21st century of Earth. After a long interstellar odyssey, it finally reached the unforgiving yet potentially habitable planet. The initial dreams of forging a unified spaceborne human nation were soon abandoned, as differing visions for utopian societies took root. Instead, seven independent human colonies emerged from the cosmic dust. While most of these colonies succumbed to rapid deterioration, with their inhabitants mutating into otherworldly beings or descending into feral lifestyles amidst Vostorg-7's unforgiving terrain, two colonies stood out as bastions of Man’s determination - the Derzhava and the Planet Cult.
Sprut-SDM is the upgraded version of the Russian airbourne Sprut-SD. It is used exclusively by the VDV. As many others VDV vehicles - the Sprut took part in quelling rebellions outside and inside Russia, namely Third Caucasian war and in several episodes of the Ostslavic conflict, where it proved itself useful in fighting opposition forces, while Russian vessels and personnel evacuated from the region.
However as most light tanks its completely defendless against heavier vehicles and has little odds against a Europanzer.
DA!
WHEN TANKS RAIN FROM THE HEAVENS, YOU KNOW WHEN MOTHER RUSSIA HAS WON!
Fell a true storm of steel,
and the heavens merged with the earth
in fire.
BTW this would make a nice loading screen sentence, with a couple of these awsome vehicles just landing and releasing the parachutes.
Awesome
Only Russia can bombard you with tank.
