notes

"The 9P149 is a tank destroyer of Soviet origin. It was developed to supplement the BRDM-2 based tank destroyers in Soviet service. A more capable tank destroyer was desired with the advent of new Western tanks such as the M1 Abrams and Leopard 2. The 9P149 uses the same 9M114 Shturm anti-tank missiles as used on the Mi-24 attack helicopter. The 9P149 is based on the chassis of the MT-LB tracked armored personnel carrier. The troop compartment is occupied by a single round retractable pedestal launcher that is connected to an automatic loader. Instead of the small machine gun turret, a large optical tracker is fitted. Only early model Shturm missiles can be launched since the improved models are too long for the automatic loader in the 9P149. With the launcher retracted the 9P149 looks very similar to the MT-LB and can be identified by the optical tracked instead of the small one-man turret."

"The 9P149 Shturm-S is armored according to its role, which means that it is capable of withstanding small arms fire and shell splinters but not much more. The hull has been adapted for high-intensity combat under different variants, but this has not included additional protection. In its basic configuration, the 9P149 Shturm-S is built from welded steel, which is thought to be a maximum of 14 mm thick and a minimum of 7 mm."

notes	"The Shturm-S (Assault-S) is a Soviet anti-tank missile carrier. Letter "S" in the designation stands for "Self-propelled", as there is also a Shturm-V system, used on helicopters, and Shturm-LK naval system, used on patrol boats. Both of these missile systems were developed alongside the Shturm-S anti-tank missile carrier. The launcher vehicle is referred to as 9K114."

name	"Shturm-SM"
notes	"An upgraded version of the Shturm-S. It entered service with the Russian Army in 2014. It uses the more capable Ataka missiles with a range of 6 000 m. This vehicle has a day/night fighting capability. It can also operate in adverse weather conditions."
