[p]Between December 11 and 18, 2025, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]TOS-1M Buratino[/h2][p][/p][p]The TOS-1M Buratino is a prototype version of the Russian TOS-1/TOS-1A heavy rocket launcher. It was designed in 1997 at Omsk as an improvement to the old TOS-1 whose roots go back all the way to the Afghan War. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the TOS-1M Buratino is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. As befits its massive rocket launcher installed on the top of a T-90A MBT chassis, its firepower is all but unparalleled and you are looking at perhaps the most destructive vehicle of Armored Warfare. It is available in two configurations – with fast-launching 122mm rockets and the iconic 220mm rockets that can be unlocked either by installing a skin (Koshmar), or by progressing through an active Battle Path.[/p][p]The TOS-1M is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Armata 152[/h2][p][/p][p]The Armata 152 is a version of the T-14 Armata, armed with larger cannon. One of the upgrades considered for the T-14 Armata was the increase of its caliber to 152mm in order to absolutely, positively destroy anything with the first shot. The 2A83 smoothbore is a behemoth of a gun, designed in the last days of the Soviet empire for the next generation of super-tanks. It’s massive, heavy and quite costly to produce, but, most importantly, it was never truly needed to deal with the western MBTs since the standard 125mm guns were (and still are) up to the task. That is why it never found its way on any Soviet MBT with even the standard T-14 Armata being armed with an improved 125mm cannon. You can, however, experience its awesome firepower in Armored Warfare! Learn more about it in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the T-14 Armata 152 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. While not firing as fast as its 125mm counterpart, the 152mm rounds do enormous damage, often eliminating weaker opponents with a single shot. And then there’s the platform itself – the Armata, the most modern Main Battle Tank in the world. Earn it and use it to dominate![/p][p]The Armata 152 Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Kurganets-25[/h2][p][/p][p]The Kurganets-25 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is intended as a cutting edge future replacement to the old BMP series in Russian service. While not as chunky and expensive as the T-15 Armata super-heavy IFV, it’s designed to finally offer the 21st century protection levels the Russian military has been demanding for a long time. However, the design turned out to be quite expensive and while it is currently undergoing state trials, it is unlikely to be ever mass-produced. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Kurganets-25 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. Even though it offers decent protection and mobility for its class, this vehicle is all about firepower. To make sure you always have the right tool for the job, it comes with three distinctive weapon systems – a 57mm autocannon for light targets, fast and small Bulat missiles for highly mobile targets and, finally, full-sized ATGMs that can defeat pretty much anything on the battlefield. If dealing damage is your thing, few vehicles will match your playstyle better.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Msta-S[/h2][p][/p][p]The Msta-S SPG was developed as a replacement to the older 2S3 Akatsiya. The goal was to match (or surpass) the newly developed NATO artillery pieces with long 155mm guns. The production began in 1988 and is currently ongoing with a modernized variant rolling out for the Russian military. More than 500 Msta-S SPGs are still in Russian service and dozens were exported to several other countries. It has seen some combat during the Second Chechen War and the War in Donbass. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Msta-S is a Tier 9 Self-Propelled Gun, which makes it only usable in the Global Operations mode and in PvE. It comes with two shell types – a slow-flying one with a high flight arc, and a fast-flying one for use against more mobile targets.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Khrizantema-S[/h2][p][/p][p]The Khrizantema-S is a dedicated tank hunter, built on a modified BMP-3 hull. The first Khrizantema-S prototype appeared in public as early as 1996 with the initial production variant (9P157) entering service in 2005. Around 2010, an upgraded variant called 9P157-2 appeared with a modernized Ukrainian optics system and a hull machinegun the original model lacked. This variant was in use until 2017. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Khizantema-S is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is quite a stealthy vehicle armed with a twin ATGM launcher. The key to achieving excellent results with this machine is long-range ATGM sniping followed by rapid relocation. The missiles are quite powerful and make hits easy thanks to their excellent performance.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Gadyuka[/h2][p][/p][p]The Gadyuka (“Viper”) is a Soviet-era fire support vehicle consisting of a T-72A hull and turret but instead of the main gun, the vehicle is armed with two 30mm autocannons and two rocket pods in order to perform better against infantry in urban and mountainous environments. A single prototype was built in 1996 and even though the project was cancelled, it eventually led to the rise of the BMPT Terminator series. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Gadyuka is a Tier 6 Premium Tank Destroyer. Despite having only average protection, its two 30mm autocannons can, along with deadly rocket salvos, rip through enemy vehicles with ease. Indeed, the Gadyuka is one of the most destructive vehicles of its Tier and a worthy addition to every player’s arsenal.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Rough Riders Loot Crate[/h2][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]The Rough Riders Loot Crate is now available.

[p]Commanders![/p][p]The holiday season is slowly coming and with it various gifts, contests and events. The main one of these is an event called Icebreak, which features various camouflages and decals loosely tied by the concept of winter, mountains and real-life units from these states. And today, we want to tell you more about it.[/p][p][/p][p]The Icebreak camouflage is of course the titular one but we also added the Belgian winter camouflage along with two Belgian-themed decals:[/p]

• [p]Belgian Rhino real-life emblem[/p]
• [p]Belgian Dragon real-life emblem[/p]

[p][/p][p]Both these emblems are based on their real-life counterparts seen on vehicles belonging to the Belgian Medium Brigade.[/p][p]Next we have three Bundesheer decals that are based on emblems seen on various vehicles of the Austrian Panzerbataillon 14. These are:[/p]

• [p]Reaper[/p]
• [p]Concorde[/p]
• [p]Palm[/p]

[p][/p][p]And, staying in Europe, there will be two Dutch decals and a flag:[/p]

• [p]Dutch Bull decal and flag (belonging to the 43rd Mechanized Brigade of the Royal Netherlands Army)[/p]
• [p]Dutch Badger decal (belonging to the 44th Armoured Infantry Battalion of the Royal Netherlands Army)[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We also have two Swiss camouflages for you, both based on experimental digital designs, as seen on a Swiss Leopard 2 MLU in the Full-Reuenthal military museum.[/p][p][/p][p]Norway is represented by the Ragnarokk decal, as seen on a Norwegian Leopard 2A4.[/p][p][/p][p]Moving eastwards, we have the Belarusian camouflage as well as the Chinese (Winter Digital) camouflage waiting. Both are common patterns currently in use.[/p][p][/p][p]The Rasputitsa avatar represents the realities of early winter European exercises (or warfare).[/p][p][/p][p]And, last but not least, we have the American, mountain-themed Shield of Vermontdecal for you. This emblem belongs to the 172nd Cavalry Regiment of the U.S. Army and is based on their long service history. The motto is based on the famous 1863 Civil War order of Union General Sedgwick: "Put the Vermonters ahead and column closed up."[/p][p][/p][p]This event is now available in Armored Warfare.[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]
