Soviet Union

C&C: Red Alert 3

Units

War Bear

A bear born in captivity and trained in combat and reconnaissance. Many enemies have fallen victim to his serrated claws and felt the full force of his amplified roar.

Conscript

Although poorly trained, the conscript nevertheless displays boundless enthusiasm as a result of the mental conditioning and propaganda to which he has been subjected. He charges headlong into battle with his AK-47s and Molotov cocktails, swearing total allegiance to his country.

Flak Trooper / Flak Soldier

Having been released triumphantly after years spent in the gulag, Flak Trooper serves Mother Russia by attaching charges to enemy armoured vehicles and operating enormous Flak anti-aircraft guns. These are even more effective against ground targets.

Combat Engineer

As part of an elite unit, the Combat Engineer is responsible for hacking into computers, sabotaging and reprogramming enemy units, and digging bunkers to station infantry there as Garrisonable Structures. He has only a simple pistol for self-defence.

Tesla Trooper: [Super-Reactor]

The enemies of the Soviet Union fear this elite mechanised patriot and his deadly Tesla cannons. He is only vulnerable during his Desolator EMP attack, which temporarily renders both his enemies and himself powerless.

Natasha: [Laboratory]

A recruit of the Soviet Union’s advanced training programmes, Natasha is a legend of the Soviet Union, capable of turning the tide of battle through the sheer power of her trusty Korshunov rifle and her unyielding cruelty. She can order air strikes to eliminate larger targets, or strafe pilots to capture their vehicles in the name of Mother Russia. You’ll only cross paths with her once.

Harvester / Ore Collector

These tireless heavy armoured vehicles never shy away from collecting and transporting valuable shipments of ore to the Tiberium Refineries.

Sputnik

A cheaper and smaller Russian version of the VCM, the Sputnik originated from a failed orbital probe project. It is now specialised in deploying listening posts that can subsequently be upgraded to forward bases.

Terror Drone

A ruthless robot, resembling a spider, which attacks both infantry and vehicles with equal cruelty. It loves to pounce on its targets before tearing them apart, but can also destroy vehicles using its stasis beam.

Sickle / Mygale

Originally designed to quell riots, this mobile Minigun turret remains ideal for controlling troops. It is also capable of manoeuvring over a variety of obstacles to reach its targets.

Bullfrog

A Troop Crawler fitted with a unique troop-deployment system: a high-precision catapult launches the crew, enabling rapid and strategic action, supported by air defence.

Char Hammer / Hammer Tank: [Super-Reactor]

The quintessential symbol of Soviet might, this monster’s 85 mm smoothbore gun is unstoppable, and its pull radius drains the enemy’s armour and weapons to boost its own offensive capabilities.

V4 Rocket Launcher: [Laboratory]

The V4 Rocket Launcher fires enormous long-range missiles capable of destroying virtually any enemy, or splitting into several Mortars to inflict damage on a target area. The V4 requires a stationary Firebase; it is therefore not a front-line weapon.

Apocalypse Tank: [Laboratory]

The Soviet Prophet of Death. This imposing (and slow) tank certainly lives up to its name with its two 125 mm guns alone, but it also features a magnetic grappling hook capable of snatching faster opponents and pulling them under its tracks.

Mobile construction vehicle / MCV

Soviet VCMs were key components of the communist forces in their conquest of new territories. It is therefore not surprising that astute commanders always ensure that they are protected by massive escorts. The VCMs are at the outposts of every Russian offensive.

Twinblade

A twin-rotor Attack Helicopter, frequently deployed to eliminate enemy infantry and/or Soviet deserters. Armed with four rocket launchers and two machine guns, it is ideal for this mission, but can also transport infantry and tanks.

MiG Fighter / Mig Fighter

A symbol of Russian air power, the MiG is a high-speed attack fighter with a remarkable survival rate, largely thanks to its arsenal of M-type explosive missiles. It has earned a reputation as the master of the skies.

Kirov Airship / Kirov Bomber: [Laboratory]

The pride of the Soviet army, this war airship is capable of carrying hundreds of heavy bombs to any target to wipe it off the map. Relatively slow by nature, the Kirov can accelerate suddenly, but will take damage as a result.

Harvester / Ore Collector

These tireless heavy armoured vehicles never shy away from collecting and transporting valuable shipments of ore to the Tiberium Refineries.

Sputnik

A cheaper and smaller Russian version of the VCM, the Sputnik originated from a failed orbital probe project. It is now specialised in deploying listening posts that can subsequently be upgraded to forward bases.

Stingray

A high-speed attack craft equipped with Soviet Tesla weaponry (its crew are, incidentally, often unaware of the dangers of this combination), the Stingray is a marvel of ingenuity, capable of electrocuting any entity within its range whilst underwater.

Bullfrog

A Troop Crawler fitted with a unique troop-deployment system: a high-precision catapult launches the crew, enabling rapid and strategic action, supported by air defence.

Akula Submarine / Akula Sub: [Super-Reactor]

This legendary attack submarine locates and destroys enemy vessels before disappearing into the depths. It is armed with an impressive array of torpedoes that it can use against all manner of targets.

Dreadnought / Dreadnaught: [Laboratory]

Built to carry and operate the V4 Rocket Launcher, the Dreadnought is deployed to unleash swarms of missiles on land or sea targets, but few things can withstand such a barrage for long.

Mobile construction vehicle / MCV

Soviet VCMs were key elements of the communist forces in their conquest of new territories. It is therefore not surprising that astute commanders always ensure that they are protected by massive escorts. The VCMs are at the outposts of every Russian offensive.

Buildings

Construction Yard / Construction site

The glorious Soviet Construction Yard can build numerous structures to consolidate and then expand the Russian armed forces.

Reactor

A key component of every Soviet base, the Reactor supplies the energy required by all of Mother Russia’s facilities and production operations.

Barracks / Caserne

The incredibly rigorous training programmes in Soviet barracks transformed even the most insignificant serfs and criminals into formidable infantrymen.

Tiberium Refinery / Ore Refinery

Tiberium Refineries enable ore to be converted into resources that can be used by all Soviet units. They are equipped with a harvester as standard.

Weapons Factory / War Factory

The assembly lines at the Weapons Factory produce a wide range of Soviet military equipment, such as self-propelled Artillery, Scorpion Rockets, Terror Drones and tanks.

Naval Yard / Shipyard

Numerous vessels, offering maximum efficiency and reliability, are rolling off the Naval Yard’s production line, built by Mother Russia’s most loyal workers.

Airfield

Russian pilots dominate the airspace with the powerful air force operating from the airfields.

Super-Reactor / Super-Reactor

An incredible source of energy, capable of powering a wide range of structures and unlocking new technologies. The Super-Reactor is, however, highly unstable. Few units survive its destruction.

Laboratory / Battle Lab

As the flagship of Russian research, the laboratory enables the development of the Soviet Union’s ultimate weapons and defences, whilst ensuring the glory of its army.

Demolition crane / Crusher crane

A quintessential Soviet unit, the demolition crane enables all commanders to double their production rate, repair damaged units and exchange worn-out units for hard cash

Outpost

Soviet expansion was accelerated by the deployment of outposts.

Fortress Wall / Fortress wall

A marvel of engineering, this wall can be purchased segment by segment to keep enemies at bay and protect Soviet civilians.

Pillbox / Battle Pillbox

It is built by Combat Engineers and can accommodate infantry.

Sentry Gun

Whilst the Flak Cannons guard the skies, the Sentry Guns clear the ground perimeter of attacks by the Allies and the Empire.

Flak Gun / Flak Cannon

A basic yet robust anti-aircraft weapon, the Flak Cannon helps to protect Soviet airspace.

Tesla Coil

A basic defence unit, optimised and equipped with formidable electrical weaponry. Tesla Troopers can recharge the Tesla Coils to make them even more powerful.

Iron Curtain

This super-weapon protects all Russian citizens by shielding them from hostile operations.

Vacuum Imploder

The Soviet forces’ ultimate weapon. Infantry, vehicles and bases: any enemy entering its target radius is sucked in and then destroyed!
