This
light vehicle is used to transport small groups of infantry or serve
as a command vehicle. It is also used to haul light artillery (howitzer,
AA guns).In
the game, the UAZ-469 is the simplest battle unit in the Russian
Army and is equipped with a rapid-fire 7.62 PK machine gun.

The self-propelled 152-mm gun was first delivered to the Russian
Army at the start of the 1970's. It quickly became standard equipment
in all tank divisions and mobile battle groups. The 152 mm D-20
howitzer, capable of firing explosives, anti-tank fire, chemical
weapons or atomic weapons, was mounted on the turret. Unlike most
Russian Army battle vehicles, the Akacja cannot cross water barriers
on its own. Its average firing range is 24 km. Using rocket-propelled
shots, its able to reach around 35 km. The maximum firing frequency
is 4 shots/min. In the game, Akacja is approximately on the same
level as the Palladin.

The T80 tank has been in production since 1978 and has gone through
many modifications. Many feel the T80 can compete favorably with
the American M2, since the T80 is 40 tons lighter. A 125-mm gun
is standard. This can also fire laser guided 9M117 Cobra shots.
The tank is protected with armor from fused steel plates and ceramic
epoxy. All T-80 tanks also have an active armor, which protects
from cluster bombs (like the TOW). The T-80 also has extremely high
firepower.
Its
lethal shots hold their power over distances of 4 km. Anti-tank
shells, by contrast, can only reach 2.5 km. In the game, the T-80
is the main tank of the Russian forces. Its effectiveness can be
raised even further by mounting an add-on option.

This
water-bound wheel-based transporter was once a main export to other
Warsaw Pact countries. It is lightly armored and used mainly to
transport infantry. A 14.5-m machine gun has been mounted to its
rotating turret. Its wheel base consists of 4 pairs of tires, of
which only the front 2 pairs roll. Thanks to the tire pressure control
system, the BTR is mobile in even the toughest terrain. In
the game, this vehicle is used to support attacks on airborne targets
and, in larger formations, to attack tank columns. A 7.62 PK machine
gun or an anti-tank launcher for Malutka guided missiles can be
mounted.

Since the mid-1960's, the BM-21 has served the Russian Army. Capable
of shooting 122-mm shots of explosives or chemical weapons, this
vehicle can get off 40 shots in each of the three modes (salve,
sequence and single shot).
The
BM-21 has a medium firing range. Its firepower allows it to demolish
enemy fortifications from a safe distance, and can be armed with
chemical rockets. Its main drawback is its poor resistance and the
relatively slow speed of its shots. Theoretically speaking, rocket
artillery is not suitable for attacking mobile targets.

This
lightly-armored rocket flak artillery vehicle strikes fear into
the hearts of pilots. It is equipped with a central target-seeking
radar, two radars for identification of incoming missiles, two control
antennas, a four-way rocket launcher, a chassis, as well as optical
and television systems. The rockets are fired in pairs and can hit
targets within 13 km. Since the ZRK's missile control systems work
with different frequencies, it is very difficult to jam its sensors.
This
is the strongest long-range air defense weapon the Russian Army
possesses in the game. The only drawback is the somewhat limited
ammunition. Three modernization steps have increased the rockets'
destructive potential. In the final step, the decoy has been replaced
by rockets.

A combined self-propelled AA artillery, the ZSU is used to combat
fast low-flying planes. The vehicle is armed with four AZP-23 rapid-fire
guns (firing at a rate of 700 - 1000 shots/min.). These are liquid
cooled - the only such cooling system in the world. The firing control
system consists of a radio-controlled targeting system, an optical
device, coordinate calculation system and mechanism for target and
flight axis stabilization. The radar has a range of over 20 km.
This is an extremely effective long-range weapon with a large ammunition
supply. The only drawback is its limited range.

The
mobile ballistic missile launcher that became a household word some
years ago was originally developed in the 1960's by the Russians.
Though capable of carrying an atomic load, the SCUD has proven extremely
suitable for delivering conventional, chemical and biological loads.

This
is the first helicopter in the world designed exclusively for ground
support. It has two three-blade coaxial rotors, located far apart
and rotating in opposite directions. The Ka-50 is ideal for fast
offensive tasks close to the ground, and was designed to reduce
radar echo bounce-back. In addition, the helicopter is equipped
with jammers. In the game, the Ka-50 is similar to the American
Comanche and is used to support ground battles. It can be sighted
with radar receivers or mobile reconnaissance systems. Standard
equipment include a one-way rapid-fir e 30 mm NPPU-28 gun, radio-controlled
Szturm anti-tank missiles and dumb model UB-32 cluster bombs.

A
2-turbine battle helicopter carrying a crew of two, the Mi-28 has
been modified several times. This has made it a very modern attack
helicopter capable of performing in many different battle situations,
including nighttime operations under all weather conditions. In
the game this is the basic Russian airborne unit. The Mi-28 has
two mounting bars, capable of holding many different weapon types:
a 30 mm NPPU-28 gun, anti-tank guided missiles (Sztum type) or non-guided
UB-32's. In addition, one of the existing defensive systems - Decoy
shooter or Fire Control Radar can also be mounted.

A heavy battle helicopter with transportation capabilities, the
Ka-29 was first joined the army's arsenal in 1985. There are several
versions of this helicopter, one of them designed for electronic
battles. In the game the landing version, for capturing enemy structures,
will be used.
