War Bear
Fast moving amphibious scouts that can detect disguised or hidden enemies. They can also dispatch infantry in one melee strike. Their special ability is a roar that effectively paralyses enemy infantry in a considerable radius.

Conscript
The standard rifle-wielding Soviet infantry is effective against other infantry units. Although untrained, they are effective en-masse. Their special ability is to use Molotov Cocktails that deal more damage against armored units and structures than their rifles, as well as directly damaging enemy infantry inside garrisoned structures.

Weaknesses

Conscripts got poor armor, firepower and speed. They are not accurate with Molotov Cocktails and these units are often vulnerable to tanks and aircraft.

Flak Trooper
Flak Troopers are convicts that are effective against enemy armor, and are deadly to enemy aircraft en-masse. Their special ability is to plant mines at melee range against enemy vehicles and structures. If they are crushed, they will explode dealing damage.

Weaknesses

These troopers are not as strong as Javelin Soldiers and are not effective against infantry so silence these convicts with Peacekeepers or Mecha Tengus.

Combat Engineer
Combat Engineers can capture neutral or enemy structures, as well as repair friendly structures. They carry small pistols which can kill enemy infantry units. Their special ability is construct a make-shift bunker, which can be garrisoned by 5 infantry, at the cost of 500 credits.

Tesla Trooper
Tesla Troopers are larger, armored infantry walkers. Their Tesla shots have a slow rate of fire, although deadly to enemy infantry and potent against enemy vehicles. They are too large to be crushed by medium sized vehicles. Their special ability is to create a disruption field that disables enemy vehicles in a small radius around the Tesla Trooper, although they cannot move or attack while using this ability.

Weaknesses

These troopers greatest weakness is their slow rate of fire. They can be crushed by Assault Destroyers and their tesla weapons do not fair well against aircraft and also swarms of peacekeepers can defeat the Tesla Trooper.

Natasha
Natasha Volkova is a legend amongst Soviet forces, her custom made sniper rifle can pierce through infantry targets, effectively allowing her to kill several at once in a line. She can pin-point enemy vehicles and structures for airstrikes, destroying them in one shot. Her special ability is to snipe a pilot of a vehicle, effectively removing the vehicle from battle. The vehicle can be claimed by an infantry unit.

Weaknesses

Natasha is ineffective against Anti Infantry units of all forms and her greatest weakness is her slow rate of fire when it comes to attacking of any type.

Terror Drone
Fast moving amphibious robotic drones that drill through and infest enemy vehicles, destroying them from within. They are lethal against infantry as well. Their special ability is to disrupt an enemy vehicle's movements with a ranged electro-statsis ray.

Weaknesses

They are weak against most attacks and special abilities, including Yuriko Omega's Psychic Scream. They are destroyed if the vehicle they are dismantling is sent to repair. Always use aircraft against these little monsters.

Sickle
Sickles are light, anti-infantry walkers that can shoot at multiple targets. Their special ability is to jump a considerable distance, even to or from an elevation, knocking down infantry where they land.

Weaknesses

Its Flea Jump does not harm vehicles and its machine guns do not fare well against Aircraft, Tanks or Ships. Always use the sickle in groups when facing certain enemies.

Hammer Tank
The main Soviet Battle Tank is an anti-armor aggressor, tougher than it's Empire and Allied counterparts. Their special ability is a leech beam, that draws weaponry from a enemy vehicle once it is destroyed.

Weaknesses

Hammer Tanks don't fair well against Aircraft or infantry and their armor is stronger than the ones Tsunami Tanks and Guardian Tanks used. Their Firepower is better than the Tsunami Tanks but weaker than the Guardian Tanks. Even if they leeched an Anti Air unit it will not fair well against jets. Your best counter for one Hammer Tank is use two Guardian Tanks because of the Guardian Tanks superior Firepower.

Apocalypse Tank
The Apocalypse Tank is the largest and toughest ground vehicle in the game, sporting two main cannons that are lethal to all types of enemy armor. They can crush most vehicles under their grinder treads. Their special ability is a Magnetic Harpoon, which pulls enemy units towards the Apocalypse, grinding them once they reach melee range. Apocalypse Tanks are also able to self-repair even without a Machine Shop captured.

Weaknesses

The Apocalypse tank is not suited to fight aircraft and often succumbed to a strike of 4 Vindicators and wont last long against the long range units like the Wave Force Artillery and Shogun Battleships. Its special ability works only on non infantry units and its Drakon Cannons do not fare well against infantry.

V4 Rocket Launcher
V4 Rocket Launchers are long range bombardment vehicles that launch V4 Rockets, lethal missiles that deal heavy damage against everything caught in its blast. They are slow moving and are lightly armored. Their special ability is to detonate their V4 Rockets in midair, causing shrapnels to rain down on a wider radius.

Sputnik
Sputniks serve as base expansion vehicles, that project an area available for structure construction once deployed.

Tesla tank
Tesla tanks are powerful and pure anti surface units that it's duel tesla coils can fry everything off the surface. Their firepower is equal to mirage tank spectrum cannons. This unit is a campaign exclusive unit and is not buildable.

Weaknesses

These Tanks are equally powerful as Mirage Tanks, cannot attack jets, equal armor to Mirage Tanks and can be crushed by Assault Destroyers. Also these tanks are rare so try not to loose them.

Ore Collector
The Harvester collects Ore from Ore Mines to fund the Soviet War Machine. Their special ability is to protect themselves with a special ceramic armor which increases their defenses tenfold. This also protects them from Terror Drones.

Mobile Construction Vehicle
Large defenseless vehicles that deploy into the Construction Yard, necessary for establishing a base. They can crush almost all vehicles in the game, save for Apocalypse Tanks and King Oni.

Twinblade
The Soviets' main attack helicopter. They fire high-powered machine guns effective against infantry and light vehicles, and they can periodically fire rockets which are more effective against heavier vehicles and structures. They are able to transport up to 5 infantry, or carry a ground vehicle, including Apocalypse Tanks.

Weaknesses

These things are meant to destroy everything off the surface and transport the largest tanks in the Soviet Army so the best way to counter these support gunships is using air to air jet fighters like the Jet Tengu or the Apollo Fighters.

MiG Fighter
MiG Fighter Jets are fast, air-to-air combatants. Their rockets have a radius effect, damaging all aircraft caught in its blast. Their special ability is an RTB order which gives them very fast retreating speeds.

Weaknesses

MiGs have no anti ground attack and has a limited ammunition so use Multigunner IFVs or Striker VXs to take em down if you have a hard time dealing with MiGs.

Kirov Airship
Kirov Airships are slow moving, heavily fortified flying behemoths. They are able to decimate any ground target under their payloads of bombs. If they are destroyed, they deal severe damage upon landing on the ground. They have no defenses against air targets. Their special ability is an after-burner, which increases their speeds while slowly burning their armor up.

Weaknesses

Kirovs are slow and generally ineffective against 5 fast moving ground targets and are very weak against Apollos and Jet Tengus. If they use their special ability to long they will crash without moving.

Stingray
Experimental Tesla boats that can walk slowly on land. Their Tesla shots are lethal against infantry, and can severely damage vehicles despite their recharge rates. Their special ability is to perform a Tesla discharge, which electrifies water around the Stingray, damaging all enemy units. This temporarly immobilizes the Stingray however.

Weaknesses

This Stingray has weak armor compared to most units. It has high attack power and it is slow on land so striking first is the way to win with the Stingray.

Bullfrog
Bullfrogs are amphibious vehicles with mounted flak cannons effective against air targets. Their special ability is to launch infantry with their man-cannons at a distance, allowing them to traverse behind enemy defenses or over unpassable terrain.

Weaknesses

The Bullfrog has light armor and Anti Air guns only which means it is not suited to engage most units. Also Man Cannon users are vulnerable to Anti Air attacks so never use man Cannons near areas with alots of anti Air.

Akula Sub
Heavily armed submersibles that are hidden from enemy radar. Upon emerging, they are able to destroy most sea-based targets in a short amount of time. Their special ability is to launch two torpedoes dead-ahead which travel indefinitely until they find a target, dealing heavy damage to anything in contact.

Weakness

A major Weakness is these subs cannot attack aircraft nor attack any land unit or structure. When submerged it is only vulnerable to torpedos, Wave Force Weapons, Assault Destroyers and the Riptide ACV.

Dreadnought
The Big Brothers of the Red Navy, the Dreadnought is a long range bombardment ship lethal against all ground and sea forces caught in its sight. Their special ability is to dramatically increase their rate of fire, at the cost of sustaining constant damage to their hulls.
