History Characters / CommandAndConquerRedAlertSeriesUnits

* {{Nerd}}: The Allied Engineers, starting from ''Red Alert 2''. They speak in a [[NerdyNasalness stereotypically nasally nerd voice]] and even yell "Excelsior", in ''Red Alert 3'', a clear reference to the late famed comic book author Creator/StanLee, who was known for saying this word.

!!!Spy
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Infiltration & Sabotage\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"Ready to infiltrate."

The Spy is an infantry unit that is disguised as a light infantry unit, which can move past most enemy units undetected. Be careful as enemy vehicles can run over the spy and Attack Dogs can are the only units with the ability to detect spies.

* BanditMook: In ''Red Alert 2'' and ''Red Alert 3'', when a spy infiltrates an enemy Refinery, you'll steal money from its owner.
* BearsAreBadNews: In ''Red Alert 3'', one of the Spy's responses is "I don't like bears...", which is justified by the Soviet War Bear's ability to sniff out and maul spies.
* BondOneLiner: Ironically, the Spy, who is a ShoutOut to Film/JamesBond ''himself'', doesn't use them except in ''Red Alert 3'' when bribing enemy units.
--> ''"Come on, fight for the winning team!"''.
* CastFromMoney: In ''Red Alert 3'', Spies have a skill that converts a nearby enemy unit to his side, for a price. It's the only money-draining skill in the game.
* CompositeCharacter: In ''Red Alert 2'', they gain the Thief's ability to steal money if they infiltrate into an Ore Refinery. In ''Red Alert 3'', Their bribe ability also gives them a form of the Yuri Clone's mind control, limited by your cash reserves.
* DifficultButAwesome: Their ability to infiltrate buildings. It consistently gives a great advantage to the player infiltrating the buildings, whether it be temporarily disabling the power by infiltrating a power structure, giving the corresponding units a veteran bonus if they infiltrate an Infantry or Armor facility in ''Red Alert 2'', or temporarily disabling the corresponding buildings they infiltrate in ''Red Alert 3'', which the additional bonus of infiltrating Tier 3 tech structures causing any Tier 3 unit to temporarily become disabled, even instantly killing the very overpowered Tier 3 aerial units, such as the Giga Fortress or the Harbinger. The problem with this is that it is very easy to counter Spies just by using scout units, which are incredibly cheap, or using walls, which are also incredibly cheap, to block off any structure, whether it be a power structure, a Construction Yard, or a production or tech structure as well.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: In ''Red Alert 2'' and ''Red Alert 3'', they can disguise into any infantry, even dog and bear. In ''Red Alert 1'', Spy appear as rifle infantry wearing enemy house colours.
* EveryManHasHisPrice: In ''Red Alert 3'', they can buy the loyalty of enemy units, who switch sides permanently. He even quote the trope word for word.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Their voice is pretty clearly modeled after Creator/SeanConnery.
* NonCombatEXP: In ''Red Alert 2'', sneaking an Spy to the enemy Barracks or War Factory allows any units produced from your equivalent production structure to start off with one level of veterancy. However, taking one spy to said point is quite difficult though, and it only works once per building.
* PowerNullifier: In ''Red Alert 3'', a Spy infiltrating a Tech Structure required for Tier 3 (Allied Defense Bureau, Soviet Battle Lab, or Empire Nanotech Mainframe) will temporarily disable all Tier 3 units owned by the target structure's owner. In case of Tier 3 airborne units (Harbinger Gunship, Century Bomber, Kirov Airship, Giga-Fortress on Sky Mode), they are all {{One Hit Kill}}ed.
* SniperRifle: Their weapons when garrisoned in a multigunner turret or an IFV in ''Red Alert 3''.
* TuxedoAndMartini: Spy appears at least to the Allies, as a man in a dapper (if combat-inappropriate) tuxedo-and-bowtie; selecting him or giving him an order causes him to reply in a Connery-ish voice. Of course, to opponents (i.e., the Soviets) he looks like one of their own units, unless discovered by a [[EvilDetectingDog guard dog]].
* WeaksauceWeakness: In all games, attack dogs and their equivalents, as they are the only units that will attack a disguised Spy on their own. In ''Yuri's Revenge'' they are completely useless against a Yuri player because all their psychic units and buildings can see through disguises and mind control a disguised Spy as soon as he gets into their range.

!!Red Alert 1

!!!Rocket Soldier
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Ant-Armor/Anti-Air\\
'''Weapons''': Dragon TOW Rockets & FIM-43 Redeye Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]

Capable of rapidly damaging armored units, these infantry make up for their lack of speed with a powerful punch. In addition to dealing with ground targets, their missiles are also effective against airborne attackers. However, these men must be guarded from other infantry and anti-infantry vehicles.

* AntiAir[=/=]AntiVehicle: Their role is to pull double duty as anti-air and anti-vehicle units with their rocket launchers.
* BoringButPractical: Very few units in the game can beat Rocket Soldiers in bang-for-buck value and when spammed, they can often beat out most vehicle spams in terms of damage output, but require protection from other units. They're also very useful in base defense as they can attack against ground, sea and air targets and don't require any power.
* CoolGuns: The sidebar icon in-game depicts Rocket soldier armed with M72 LAW, while according to manuals side materials, they use M47 Dragons and FIM-43 Redeyes.
* GlassCannon: They have a high damage output against vehicles and buildings, but they are still just squishy infantry and need protection from other units to avoid getting run over or gunned down by rifle and machine gun fire.

!!!Thief
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Resource Acquisition\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]

Any Thief that enters an enemy Ore Silo or Refinery will steal half the credits in that structure. These units have no defenses against enemy units and should be used when enemy refineries are unguarded.

* AwesomeButImpractical: While the Thief can steal a large amount of money, not being able to cloak meant getting one to building was more trouble than it was worth. Hence in later games the Thief was removed and the Spy instead could steal money depending on what building he infiltrated.
* BanditMook: Any Thief that enters an enemy Ore Silo or Refinery will steal half the credits in that structure.
* BlackCloak: Thieves' in-game renders with somehow bear resemblances to Zorro or Tuxedo Mask.
* SupportPartyMember: Being unarmed, thieves are very vulnerable on the battlefield and easily killed. Unlike spies, they can't cloak either, so the player has to rely on his skills in distraction to allow a thief to enter the target building. If he manages it, then half of the credits are routed into the player's credit pool.

!!!Medic
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Medical Support\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]

The medic heals nearby Allied infantry and can be placed in guard mode to heal any injured infantry. However, the medic has no defense against enemy units.

* TheMedic: Their main purpose is to heal other infantry.
* MookMedic: It's job is to heal allied infantry.
* NoExperiencePointsForMedic: As they cannot kill enemies, Medics never gain veterancy.
* SupportPartyMember: Has no means of attacking but can heal friendly infantry.

!!!Field Mechanic
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Field Repair\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->''I'll get my wrench!''

The mechanic heals friendly vehicles that are near by. Just like the medic he has no defense against enemy units. These units are useful in groups.

* DeepSouth: Talks like a stereotypical redneck.
* TheEngineer: The Mechanic type.
* MookMedic: The Mechanic functions like a Medic, but it works on vehicles and not on infantry. If a mechanic was to enter a transport such as an APC, he had to repair it before entering, probably due to engine limitations.
* SupportPartyMember: Has no means of attacking, but can repair friendly vehicles.

!!!Ranger
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Light Combat\\
'''Weapons''': Light Machine Gun\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

The ranger is a recon unit that is armed with a M60 machine gun. Although unable to crush units, it is fast and ideal against infantry able to mow them down in 2-4 bursts. However its light armor make it weak against tanks and aircraft.

* CoolCar: The Ranger is cheap and easy to produce. It can be used as a scout to explore the battlefield and to harass enemy bases especially when in conjunction with Light Tanks.
* FragileSpeedster: The Ranger is quick enough to out-maneuver most vehicles, but its armour is less than stellar, so it should avoid direct hits from anti-tank weaponry.

!!!Light Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Armored Escort\\
'''Weapons''': 75mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
The standard Allied tank. Fast, with decent armor, the Light Tank works well in mixed groups, and also in large divisions. What it lacks in firepower, it makes up for in speed and rapid fire.

* FragileSpeedster: The weakest of all the main battle tanks in the game, but it's also the fastest and cheapest. The Light Tank excels at kiting enemies, [[CarFu running over infantry]], and overwhelming with sheer numbers.
* TankGoodness: The Light Tank is the smallest and quickest tank in the game; its footprint and speed allows it to dodge enemy tank shells if directed properly. It is among the fastest armored tracked vehicles in the game, only beaten by the APC and the Minelayers. Like other armored tracked vehicles, it can run over infantry and it is well suited to this due to its speed.
* ZergRush: The only way they can do in direct confrontation against Soviet tanks.

!!!Medium Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Armored Assault\\
'''Weapons''': 105mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

The higher-grade Allied tank, this unit is just as well armored, faster, and less costly than the Soviet Heavy Tank, though armed with only a single barrel. Used in groups with Light Tanks, the Medium Tank can draw fire while the Light Tanks destroy the threat.

* AnachronismStew: The Medium Tank is similar to its ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianDawn Tiberian Dawn]]'' equivalent, down to having the exact same cameo image, which means the Allied Nations can somehow build M1 Abrams tanks during the [=1950's=].
* TheComputerIsALyingBastard: While the manual states that the Medium Tank has a 105mm cannon, in-game, the Medium Tank's cannon is programmed to fire 90mm shells.
* JackOfAllStats: The Medium Tank has fine armor, firepower and speed, making it the most versatile tank in the game. It is not particularly good at anything without a numerical advantage, however.
* TankGoodness: Despite the Heavy Tank's advantage of two main guns, allowing it to produce almost twice as much raw firepower during initial contact as its Allied counterpart, the Medium Tank is faster, less expensive and quicker to build.

!!!Anti-tank Minelayer
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Minelayer\\
'''Weapons''': Anti-Tank Mines\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

A fast vehicle Allies use it to lay anti-vehicle mines. It is fast which makes it ideal for crushing infantry, but has no weapons to directly combat enemy units.

* LandMineGoesClick: Its mines are very dangerous and powerful. One can badly damage a Heavy Tank, destroy a V2 rocket launcher and do moderate damage to a Mammoth Tank.
* SupportPartyMember: Has no weapons to directly combat enemy units (apart from [[CarFu crushing infantry under its treads]]) but capable of laying mines to deter or destroy approaching enemy vehicles.

!!!Artillery
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': 155mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

Very effective, if somewhat inaccurate, Artillery can devastate infantry and structures from afar.

* AreaOfEffect: Against infantry, is able to mortally wound, if not kill, large groups of them with one shot.
* {{BFG}}: An 155mm gun.
* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: It does not have a turret, as it's essentially a big cannon on wheels.
* GlassCannon: A near-textbook example. It deals a lot of damage with its projectiles, but it's slow and fragile. Without protection from other units, the Artillery won't get anywhere.
* SiegeEngines: The Artillery is Allied's primary long range building buster. Tesla coils however had even greater range than artillery pieces, and enough power to melt them to scrap in one blast.

!!!APC
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Armored Transport\\
'''Weapons''': Light Machine Gun\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

The Armoured personnel carrier is a unit armed with an M60 machine gun and is able to carry up to five men. It is heavily armored making it an ideal unit to supply infantry transport quickly across the battlefield.

* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: The APC is small, heavily armoured and fast. Mounting a small machine gun, it is effective against all infantry. Its speed and ability to crush infantry make it highly effective against soldiers of all types, with the exception of the shock troopers, whose armoured suits prevented crushing.
* StoneWall: The APC has heavy armor, but only a light machine gun. Though it is meant to carry troops around the field, it is almost always used as a stone wall unit.

!!!Radar Jammer
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Electronic Countermeasures (ECM)\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
It disrupts enemy radar functions, shutting down enemy radar transmissions and display. Its long range allows it to hide from enemy units while other units attack during the blackout.

* FogOfWar: It would temporarily stop the opponent's Radar Dome from working if it got within range. Unsurprisingly its range is pathetically short.
* SupportPartyMember: Has no means of attacking but can disable enemy radar and anti-air defense.

!!!Chrono Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Chronoshift Attack\\
'''Weapons''': Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

This lightly-armored unit has the same ability as the Chronosphere but is also armed with rockets. The tank can be shifted from one location to another every few minutes, and then teleport again after some time.

* GlassCannon: Its mobility is unmatched among vehicles thanks to its ability to chronoshift to any location in a map, and while it does not attack very quickly, but it packs the most firepower among Allied tanks in ''Red Alert 1'' (and it's second only to the Mammoth Tank overall). The same cannot be said about their armor, though, being the most fragile tank in the game, especially considering it's the most expensive tank, costing a hefty $2400 to build.
* {{Teleportation}}: In addition to conventional movement, it can also instantly 'Chronoshift' to any location on the map.

!!!Mobile Gap Generator
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': ECM\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

The mobile version of the Gap Generator functions in much the same way the stationary one does. Although it projects a smaller gap field, you can hide several units under its cover, blocking the enemy from seeing what you're sending against them.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The stationary building version is useful enough, but the mobile ones' range is so contracted that they're practically worthless. There's also the fact that the Mobile Gap Generator leaves a trail of freshly revealed terrain behind it, meaning you're generally not too effective at sneaking.
* FogOfWar: The unit is literally a gap generator on wheels, deploying gap effect continuously while on the move. When the unit mobilizes, the gap field follows its path accordingly.

!!!Phase Transport
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Stealth Transport\\
'''Weapons''': Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' N/A]

This is a non-buildable unit that can cloak itself while on the move. The Phase Transport it can be detected by defenses and infantry if they come too close to it. However, they have dual missiles that can destroy them safely out of range. It is quite lightly armored and is moderately fast.

* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: It shows up in a single mission in the ''Aftermath'' expansion, and it can only carry one infantry unit... but on the other hand, the machine gun is replaced with high-powered ''missile launchers'', and it cloaks.
* GrandTheftPrototype: By Soviet cyborg Volkov, who stole destroying its production facility and later use to disable communications in Allied control area, cleared the way for reinforcements to complete the elimination of Allied forces in the area.
* InvisibilityCloak: It can bend light in the visible part of the spectrum around it, rendering it effectively invisible to the naked eye.

!!!Longbow
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Close Air Support\\
'''Weapons''': Hellfire Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' Helipad]

The Allies attack helicopter is loaded with hellfire missiles, allowing it to destroy armored targets with ease. Used in conjunction with naval or ground attacks, the Longbow is an ideal support aircraft, able to rapidly inflict additional damage to a target usually with little or no return fire

* CoolPlane: It is equipped with heavy armour, sophisticated targeting equipment and several missile launchers. Its powerful missiles and great speed enable it to hunt enemy vehicles, particularly fragile V-2 missile launchers. Other units, such as Heavy tanks, are equally vulnerable because of their lack of anti-aircraft armament. The Longbow's heavy armour means that they could withstand at least a few volleys of missiles, and could even engage Mammoth Tanks for limited durations with a decent chance of survival.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: It's capable of firing a barrage of 10 missiles against ground target before reload at an Helipad.

!!!Gunboat
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Naval Escort & Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW)\\
'''Weapons''': 2in Gun & Depth Charges\\
'''Trained at:''' Shipyard]

The fastest and lightest of the Allied naval vessels, the Gunboat have a short range anti-tank cannon, which is effective against land vehicles and enemy ships. It also can shoot out single shots of depth charges at enemy subs.

* CoolBoat: The fastest and lightest of the Allied naval vessels, the Gunboat is good at scouting naval routes, and detecting Submarines before they can cause any mischief.
* ZergRush: Only costs 500 credit, it easy to spam them with large number.

!!!Destroyer
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': ASW & Anti-Air/Anti-Armor\\
'''Weapons''': Missiles & Depth Charges\\
'''Trained at:''' Shipyard]

The mid-level naval vessel, the Destroyer is effective against land, air, and sea-based threats. Its fast-firing stinger missiles can hit air targets easily, and can also decimate nearby ground targets. It also has a depth charge launcher that shoots out two depth charges at submarines.

* AntiAir: The only naval unit in ''Red Alert 1'' that can attack aircraft.
* CoolShip: The mid-level naval vessel, the Destroyer is effective against land, air, and sea-based threats. Its fast-firing stinger missiles can hit air targets easily, and can also decimate nearby ground targets. If it detects a Submarine, its dual depth-charge launcher ensures that the Sub will be rapidly taken out of commission.
* JackOfAllStats: The missiles are effective against tanks, air units, and structures, but ineffective against infantry. It also has longer range than tesla coils and most other Soviet units. Its dual depth-charge launcher can do significant damage to opposing submarines (and dollar for dollar will beat them), and can sink them more quickly than Gunboats.
* UnitsNotToScale: It's a warship, which in this game doesn't appear all that bigger than a tank.

!!!Cruiser
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Long-Range Shore Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': 8in Guns\\
'''Trained at:''' Shipyard]

What the Cruiser lacks in speed, it makes up for in firepower and range. Able to lob destruction onto targets incredible distances away, this siege Cruiser can decimate an enemy base in minutes, has a good radius of splash damage, and with proper mircomanagement, can even be reasonably accurate. The Cruiser proved so successful, that the Soviets developed their own Missile Sub to catch up with the Allied naval siege prowess.

* {{BFG}}: The Cruiser is armed with two 8-inch guns in two twin turrets which fires long-range explosive shells that can devastate enemy bases.
* CoolShip: Ultra long-range siege Cruisers who can batter enemy fortifications with 8-inch explosive shells. Their firepower is great enough to reduce many structures to rubble with direct hits; even Construction Yards can't withstand Cruiser fire for long.
* FakeBalance: Cruisers were intended to be balanced by their slow speed and the inaccuracy of their cannons so that sieging a base isn't a total cakewalk and Submarines stand a chance of sinking them. In practice, a seasoned player can overcome the inaccuracy by forcing fire into specific spots, and whatever the explosive shells hit either takes heavy damage or is obliterated outright. Even Submarines are in danger from Cruiser fire as proper force-firing onto the right spots will allow the player to counter attack subs for devastating damage, while Destroyers or Gunboats can finish off stragglers. While [=MIGs=] are supposedly one of their counters, each MIG costs $1200 and requires its own $600 Airfield to land and reload VS $2000 for each Cruiser. There is also the issue of Cruisers being limited by how much water is on a map, with water-heavy maps making Cruisers even more effective.
* LongRangeFighter: The firing range of the Cruiser is the longest in the game, being able to reach targets several screens away which gives it considerable coverage on maps.
* MightyGlacier: Cruiser hit hard and are durable, but are very sluggish due to their mass, making them vulnerable to other ships or enemy aircraft.
* NonIndicativeName: These engines of destruction are merely classified as Cruisers but by gameplay standards, they're more like battleships due to the absence of any heavier ships or subs. The sequel introduced the Aircraft Carrier to the Allies, while the Aegis Cruiser would fill the cruiser role, but only for aerial targets.
* PowerfulButInaccurate: Directly selecting targets tends to make the 8 inch guns unable to hit the broadside of a barn. Thus it is necessary to learn where to force-fire to strike reliably, so you can take advantage of the Cruiser's extreme range.
* SiegeEngines: Armed with two 8-inch guns in two twin turrets capable of delivering their shell over huge distances with devastate power, the Cruiser is capable of leveling any enemy base to the ground with ease with proper micromanagement by the player to overcome their accuracy quirks.

!!Red Alert 2
!!!GI
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Ground Combat\\
'''Weapons''': Spectre M4/M60\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"How 'bout some action?"

The GI is the basic Allied infantry unit. Slow and capable of only light damage, [=GIs=] are nonetheless necessary because of their low cost and ability to set up sandbags around them like a bunker and are capable of garrisoning buildings.

* CannonFodder: ''Really expensive'' cannon fodder, but fulfills the same role.
* CoolGuns: Each of the [=GIs=] is equipped with what appears to be a Spectre submachine gun which they used on foot.
* DeployableCover: Can deploy sandbags which gives them increased resistance and also allows them to use their machine guns, but makes them immobile.
* FakeBalance: Sandbagged GI. They may be immobile, but they easily overcome this when they settle down near an enemy base, pulling out their absurdly powerful machine guns, that can destroy tanks in good numbers. A bunch of them trained well can stop any enemy player's assault because once a unit is constructed, it is already destroyed.
* HotBlooded: Their EnemyChatter always has them craving combat.
* ItsRainingMen: The USA subfaction had a different paratrooper ability, which meant that they could conceivably drop fourteen [=GIs=] (pretty formidable), anywhere on the map, for free, every few minutes.
* NoIndoorVoice: [=GIs=] never drop below an enthused shout, contrasting with the [[CasualDangerDialogue utterly bored]] sounding Soviet Conscripts.
* RareGuns: Hard to tell given the isometric view from far away, but [=GIs=] are noted in some supplementary material to use the Spectre as their primary unmounted weapon.
* StartingUnits: For the Allies, although unlike the Soviet Conscript they serve a dedicated anti-infantry role.

!!!Sniper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Anti-Infantry\\
'''Weapons''': Sniper Rifle\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"He's a dead man!"

This British infantry unit is equipped with a special long-range rifle useful in taking out enemy infantry units. Much better than regular [=GIs=], the sniper gains tremendous range and power, killing off enemy infantry units with a single shot from well out of their range. However, the Sniper has a slow rate of fire and is ineffective against vehicles and structures.

* BoringButPractical: Sniper insta-kills all enemy infantry, can hide in buildings and parachute assault. A few of these guys, a couple of Grizzlies and an anti-air unit, and you're laughing.
* CripplingOverspecialization: They can one-shot most infantry, but they'll be dead if you send in vehicles or air units.
* {{Foil}}: To the Tank Destroyer - both are country-specific units for the Allies that deal very high damage to only one kind of unit (infantry for Snipers, vehicles for the Tank Destroyer) but are completely useless against everything else.
* LongRangeFighter: They can fire from very far but once you get close to them there isn't much that they can do.
* NationalWeapon: The Snipers are Britain's unique infantry.
* OneHitKill: They can one-shot almost every infantry unit.
* SniperRifle: Their weapon is a sniper rifle.

!!!Guardian GI
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Heavy Ground Combat\\
'''Weapons''': M60/Javelin Missile\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"Tanks are no match!"

Like a normal GI, the Guardian GI fires a powerful machine gun from a standing position. When deployed, the Guardian GI can not be crushed and switches to a powerful anti-tank weapon that is effective against vehicles and aircraft.

* AntiVehicle: Their role is to pull double duty as Anti-Air and Anti-Tank units with their rocket launchers.
* BoringButPractical: Is simply an GI on steroids but a small group of these soldiers could neutralize a tank rush in no time flat. However, they are even more versatile when placed in a Battle Fortress, inside this heavy vehicle they are completely immune to anti-personnel weaponry and can fire on the move. Coupled with this method, they are excellent counters not only against tanks but also slow-moving aircraft such as Kirov Airships and Yuri's Floating Discs.
* DeployableCover: Same with GI, but using metal plates instead which makes them impervious from getting roadkilled by vehicles, except the Allied Battle Fortress.
* FakeBalance: Guardian [=GIs=] might not be much for killing infantry but when deployed, there's simply no way to force them out of their holes because while the massive firepower of massed [=GIs=] could be offset by suicide-rushing tanks at them in order to crush the immobile soldiers, deployed Guardian [=GIs=] are uncrushable and have anti-tank weapons.
* CoolGuns/MachineGuns: Each of the Guardian [=GIs=] is equipped with an M60 general-purpose machine gun which they used on foot.
* ObviousRulePatch: Guardian GI is purpose-built to counter armor, seems to have been introduced solely to undercut the power of the Soviet Rhino tank rush strategy.
* CoolGuns/RocketsMissilesAndGrenadeLaunchers: The sidebar icon in-game depicts Rocket soldier armed with Javelin RPG, which they used in entrenched positions.

!!!Rocketeer
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Close Air Support\\
'''Weapons''': 20mm Assault Rifle\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"They won't see us comin'!"

The Rocketeer is the aerial assault version of the simple Allied GI. Armed with a powerful weapon and strapped into an equally powerful jetpack, the Rocketeer hovers over the battlefield. Rocketeers are excellent in providing anti-air defense and air-to-ground attacks on weaker targets.

* AntiAir: One of the few air units in the series that can attack other air units. This makes them especially effective against V3 rockets or slow aircraft.
* CoolGuns/AssaultRifles: Though in game their weapon fire more resembles missiles.
* {{Expy}}: Of a [[ComicBook/TheRocketeer superhero of the same name]]. Some similarities exist between the two. They are both used in a world war (WWII and Third World War), they both have the same name (the only difference being capitalisation), they are both sided with the Allies and are using hit and run tactics, and the design of the jetpack used in ''Red Alert 2'' resembles the one used by The Rocketeer.
* FragileSpeedster: Though their high speed and maneuverability makes them excellent scouts, they are very vulnerable to anti-air emplacements.
* {{Jetpack}}: Naturally, they fly with one.
* MidairBobbing: Their idle animation features them bobbing mid-air. When they are moving or attacking they stay perfectly still.

!!!Navy SEAL
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Special Forces\\
'''Weapons''': Rifle, C4 Charges\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"How 'bout a swim?'

Equipped with a high-powered machine gun, Seals are excellent against enemy infantry and can defend themselves against vehicles as well. Like Tanya, Seals use C4 charges to detonate enemy structures.

* OneManArmy: A single SEAL can decimate an entire army of basic infantry.
* BadassBoast
-->"A lil' C4 knockin' at your door"
-->"Who's your daddy?"
* BondOneLiner
-->"This is too easy"
-->"Goin' down!"
-->"Special Delivery!"
* FakeBalance: In ''Yuri's Revenge''. You basically get the ability to use mass-produced [[HeroUnit Tanya]] as soon as you build the Airforce HQ. The only perks Tanya has over them is higher resilience, [[ImmuneToMindControl immunity to mind control]], and being able to blow up vehicles with her [=C4=].
* FunWithAcronyms: Navy '''S'''p'''e'''cial W'''a'''rfare Deve'''l'''opment Group (The real force is named after "Sea, Air, Land Teams".)
* StuffBlowingUp: They can use their [=C4=] charges to quickly demolish enemy structures.
* SuperSwimmingSkills: Can swim the entire length of the English Channel.
* CoolGuns/SubmachineGuns: Their weapon is a high-powered machine gun.

!!!Chrono Legionnaire
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Combat Support\\
'''Weapons''': Chronoblaster\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"I'm gone!"

The Chrono Legionnaire is a high tech allied unit who uses chrono technology both as a weapon and as a means of transportation. The weapon which he is armed with is unique as it does no actual damage, and that it simply erases the target from history.

* FlashStep: The recommended way of moving, as longer jumps require longer recharges.
* GlassCannon: They can erase practically any ground unit one-on-one thanks to their weapons disabling the target. In the end, however, Chrono Legionnaires are infantry, and fragile infantry at that given their cost and high tech requirements, and unless multiple Legionnaires are used on the same target, it can take a very long time to erase them.
* MundaneUtility: Targets under the effect of the Chrono Legionnaire's weapon are invulnerable until either they are erased, or the Legionnaire switches targets. This means that Chrono Legionnaires can be used to protect valuable targets, such as Construction Yards, from a single, devastating attack without using Force Shield. It has to be timed correctly, however, to ensure the target you're asking them to shield is not erased in the process.
* OneWayVisor: Artwork depicts them as having one.
* PowerupLetdown: Due to an oversight in ''Yuri's Revenge'', when promoted to Elite, the Chrono Legionnaire loses his ability to fire over walls.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner:
--> "They're history."
* RetGone: The fate of Chrono Legionnaire target. This can happen instantly, or over the course of about a minute, pending what is being phased out, how many legionnaires are engaging the target and the rank of the legionnaires. While being phased out, they're left utterly helpless and untouchable. Oddly enough, it has absolutely no noticeable side effects on the rest of the world.

-->"How 'bout a swim?'

If a Spy manages to infiltrate an Allied Battle Lab, Chrono Commandos can be trained in the barracks (Allied Barracks only in the base games). These improved [=NAVY SEALs=] are equipped with the same chrono shift technology that allows Chrono Legionnaires to teleport across the battlefield, as well as improved [=C4=] charges that instantly destroy a building after being planted.

* BadassBoast
-->"A lil' C4 knockin' at your door"
-->"Who's your daddy?"
* BondOneLiner
-->"This is too easy"
-->"Goin' down!"
-->"Special Delivery!"
* CompositeCharacter: A combination between the [=NAVY SEALs=]'s ability to decimate infantry and blow up buildings with the Chrono Legionnaire's method of transportation (replacing the SEAL's ability to swim).
* FakeBalance: While retaining the NAVY SEAL's vulnerability to vehicles and mind control, being difficult to acquire (requiring a Spy to infiltrate an Allied Battle Lab, a building that is zealously protected) and being the most expensive infantry unit in the game (at $2000), Chrono Commandos are one of the most dangerous infantry units in the entire game. Their chrono shifting movement gives them unparalelled mobility to decimate infantry and deploy [=C4=] charges on buildings, and not even anti-infantry defensive structures are safe as they are instantly destroyed, unlike regular [=NAVY SEALs=] or Tanya. Also, they can be mass-produced: a group of Chrono Commandos can disable an entire base before you can even notice.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Instant-detonation [=C4=] charges sound great until you try to use them on Nuclear Reactors or Oil Derricks. The Chrono Commando is instantly killed by the blast, whereas other demolition units can find time to escape.
* OneManArmy: A single Chrono Commando can decimate an entire army of basic infantry or instantly destroy any building of their choice.
* StuffBlowingUp: They can use their [=C4=] charges to instantly demolish enemy structures.
* CoolGuns/SubmachineGuns: Their weapon is a high-powered machine gun.

An incredibly versatile vehicle, this transport alters its weapon depending on what type of infantry unit is placed inside it

* ActionBomb: When carrying a Crazy Ivan, Chrono Ivan, or Terrorist, IFV become a variant of the Demolition Truck which blows up and spread radiation.
* AdaptiveArmor: IFV is an adaptive vehicle that would power up any infantry put inside (including the other factions).
* AntiAir: It comes equipped with standard light anti-armour missiles capable of accurately taking down enemy aircraft.
* AntiVehicle: When carrying a Guardian GI, IFV missile is more effect again tank but weak agains infantry and buildings. [[UpToEleven But when it reaches Elite veterancy, however,]] its weapons become extremely powerful that a group of them can destroy tanks and structures in seconds.
* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: It can only carry one infantry unit... but on the other hand its weapon changes to match that unit's specialty and it can even gain weapons from troops of other factions.
* BoringButPractical: Putting an Attack Dog in an IFV doesn't change its weapon, but it DOES give the IFV the spy detection range of the dog.
* DualModeUnit: The IFV could carry a single infantryman, and swapped out its missiles for a different weapon depending on which trooper was in it.
* ExperienceBooster: One of the easiest ways to promote an IFV into Elite rank is to send in a Sniper and let it dispatch enemy infantry while quickly gaining up veterancy.
* FragileSpeedster: When not Elite and unmanned, the IFV is very fast and has weapons that deal with all units fairly well, but it's frail and does not deal much damage.
* GlassCannon: An unmanned Elite IFV is one of the best vehicles in the game in terms of damage output and still has the speed to back it up, but it can be taken down in a few tank shells.
* ILoveNuclearPower: When carrying a Desolator, IFV turret turn into anti-infantry rad-cannon with improved range and rate of fire.
* JackOfAllStats: The adaptation system allows the IFV to quickly be equipped to handle almost any problem efficiently. It is generally not better than an equivalent vehicle with the same role, however.
* KillItWithFire: When carrying an Initiate, IFV turret fire an enhanced version of Initiate pyrokinesis.
* LightningGun: When carrying Tesla Trooper, IFV turret changes to one similar to the Tesla Tank only fire faster and has a longer range.
* CoolGuns/MachineGuns:
** When carrying a GI, Conscript or Spy, IFV turret changes to a high caliber machine gun which is effective against infantry and ligh vehicles.
** When carrying Tanya, Navy SEAL, Chrono Commando or Boris, IFV turret changes to a high rate of fire machine gun that one shot kills infantry and barely does any damage to vehicle and building.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Is quite capable of triple-M'ing when it's fully promoted. Rack up as many elite Rocket [=IFVs=] and you can guarantee that you'll have a real triple-M show.
* MindOverMatter: When carrying any Yuri unit variant, IFV turret uses the anti-infantry psi-blast ability of these infantry, killing a group of enemy troops.
* MookMedic: When carrying Engineers it can repair other vehicles, allowing Allied vehicles to live longer on the battlefield.
* PowerupLetdown: When Elite, the IFV tends to fare ''worse'' when it's carrying infantry as they are only barely faster-attacking than a Veteran IFV, and get none of the dramatic attacking boosts from the Elite rank. Only very specific units, such as Attack Dogs, Navy [=SEALs=] or Snipers can be sent into an Elite IFV without making it look useless.
* RetGone: When carrying a Chrono Legionnaire, the IFV turret has the same weapon but with more speed and range.
* SniperRifle: When carrying a Spy, Sniper, or Virus, the IFV turret has the same weapon but with more speed and range
* SplashDamage: When carrying a Flak Trooper, the IFV turret fires flak shells that can damage multiple units at once provided they're close together.
* ViolationOfCommonSense:
** An IFV manned by a Crazy Ivan or a Terrorist becomes a suicide attacker that leaves a little area filled with radiation upon blowing up, pretty much becoming a mini-Demolition Truck. Neither Crazy Ivans nor Terrorists leave radiation with their bombs when outside of an IFV.
** Both [=IFVs=] and Flak Troopers can attack air units. An IFV with a Flak Trooper loaded inside cannot attack air units.

!!!Grizzly Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Armored Assault\\
'''Weapons''': 105mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Commencing assault!"

The Grizzly is a standard Allied tank. Useful for base assaults, Grizzly Battle Tanks are also capable of grinding enemy infantry units under their powerful treads. This all-purpose vehicle is useful both in defense and attack. Grizzly tanks are faster than their Soviet counterparts, but have less armor and less firepower than Rhino tanks.

* HitAndRunTactics: Because the Grizzly is cheaper and faster than the Rhino Heavy Tank, it can be used for this strategy.
* StartingUnits: For the Allies, they are basic, unremarkable and available to build right away.
* TankGoodness: The Grizzly is one of the fastest tanks in RA2, easily outpacing its Soviet counterpart, the Rhino. It is also an inexpensive unit to build, making it easy to mass produce quickly. These attributes combine to make a unit that is tailor built for swarming hit-and-run tactics, with an above decent damage rating that makes the Grizzly a potent threat to enemy structures and vehicles.
* ZergRush: Being light on armor and low on hit points, a lone Grizzly is easy prey for most offensive units, even infantry. Grizzlies should always travel in groups of five or more for maximum efficiency, and if those numbers can be bolstered with more exotic tanks like Mirage Tanks or Robot Tanks, such additions should be made immediately. In fact, late game Grizzlies are perfect escorts for more vulnerable Allied armor like Prism Tanks; few things in ''Red Alert 2'' are as potent as a Prism Tank bombardment with Grizzly protection.

!!!Chrono Miner

The Chrono Miner can mine gems and ores on the ground and convert it into money for construction and training. Chrono Miners have the ability to teleport back to their Ore Refineries.

* RegeneratingHealth: Chrono Miners self-repair slowly, up to 50% health.
* StoneWall: Though unarmed, it's very durable as is the standard for miners.
* {{Teleportation}}: Its teleport ability is useful when an enemy starts attacking it. When a Terror Drone attacks a Chrono Miner, it will be left behind when the Miner teleports back to base.
* WorkerUnit: Gathers ore and gem to facilitate the player's economy.

!!!Mirage Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Stealth \\
'''Weapons''': HEAT Incendiary Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->Mean, green and unseen."

In most ways, the Mirage Tank is similar to the Grizzly Battle Tank, a bit with a much stronger gun. However, when not moving, this unit changes in appearance to look like a tree. It can fire on enemy units from this camouflaged state, making it difficult for the enemy to discover where the fire is coming from. They do, however, appear for a brief moment when firing. Used carefully (for instance, stopping Mirage Tanks in or near a forested area), these units can provide a devastating surprise attack.

* AIBreaker: As long as the Mirage Tank does not turn, the enemy will not try to attack them.
* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: Is turret is in a fixed position, so the whole vehicle must turn in order to engage a target. This is because of gameplay limitations for its disguise ability.
* {{Foil}}: To the Prism Tank. They are experimental GlassCannon tanks designed by Albert Einstein, both are very good against infantry, but while the Mirage Tank is much stronger against vehicles than against buildings, the Prism Tank is much stronger against buildings than against vehicles.
* GlassCannon: A group consisting of 3 to 4 Mirage Tanks can quickly destroy an Apocalypse tank, but its armor is paper-thin.
* MobileShrubbery: The Mirage Tank has the unique ability to camouflage itself as a tree or rock as long as the tank is stationary.
* NobodyHereButUsStatues: Mirage Tank has the ability to disguise itself as a tree when not moving. One of his quotes? "Nobody here but us trees!"
* OffModel: The cameo of the Mirage Tank shows it as having a rotating turret, which is not the case in-game.
* PlayingWithFire: Armed with an infrared laser cannon, it can ignite infantry with a maximum of two shots and is highly effective against vehicle armor.
* PungeonMaster: The radio operator has a habit of making tree-related puns.

!!!Robot Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Drone\\
'''Role''': Automated Support\\
'''Weapons''': 105mm APDS Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
The main strength of the Robot Tank is that it cannot be mind controlled, because there is no human driver onboard this assault vehicle. Robot Tanks hover, allowing them to cross water. The ability to create Robot Tanks is granted with the construction of a Robot Control Center. These cease to function if they have low/no power.

* FragileSpeedster: The Robot Tank is very fast, but not particularly powerful and can't take too many hits.
* HoverTank: Robot Tank can traverse any body of water with ease, allowing it to attack unsuspecting enemies from almost any direction.
* MechaMooks: They are AI controlled and the bane of the Yuri faction's existence. They are faster than the land-bound Grizzly Tank and can cross water with their hover-jets. The worst part, however, is that it is completely immune to the Mind Control units and structures that Yuri loves to use.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: It's difficult to consider the Robot Tank over the very statistically-similar Grizzly Tank as it's further on the tech tree, cannot gain promotions, and is disabled if the owner runs out of power or loses the Robot Control Center. There are two circumstances, however, in which the Robot Tank excels on - against Yuri enemies, thanks to its immunity to mind-control, and maps with large bodies of water, which Robot Tanks can use to attack from often-unprotected spots (something the AI tends to do when playing as an Allied nation).

!!!Battle Fortress

-->"Nothing can stop us!"

This massive construction grinds over the battlefield, crushing infantry, vehicles (even tanks) and walls with equal ease. Up to five infantry units can be placed inside the Battle Fortress. These infantry units can shoot out of the many ports, adding to the carnage.

* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: It can effectively crush any unit and almost any vehicle, even enemy Apocalypse Tanks, walls and Commandos, who ordinarily can't be crushed (the only vehicles it cannot crush are [=MCV=]s, Slave Miners and other Battle Fortresses). Up to five infantry units can be housed inside it and fire their weapons from inside.
* BadassBoast
-->"We will trample our enemies!"
-->"Nothing can stop us!"
-->"Let's make a warpath!"
* BraveScot: Their pilots are all HotBlooded scots with thick accents.
* CarFu: Its size makes it one of the few vehicles that can crush other vehicles.
* MasterOfAll: With five infantry slots in which garrisoned units can shoot from, Battle Fortresses can be tweaked to deal with practically every threat. The most common composition is a majority of Guardian [=GIs=] and a Sniper or a Navy SEAL to deal with most infantry, vehicles or airships, but the possibilities are almost endless - you can use multiple Chrono Legionnaiers to quickly disable and erase every unit, or send multiple Yuri Clones to have a poor man's Mastermind. Base defenses are the only opposition Battle Fortresses cannot garrison units to deal with; everything else can be countered in some way.
* MightyGlacier: Heavily armored, and garrisoning means it can easily out gun actual tanks, but it's extremely slow.
* StoneWall: The Battle Fortress is the most heavily-armored unit in the game, but it's also one of the most lightly armed vehicles, only carrying a weak machine gun and the ability to crush other vehicles. It only moves into MightyGlacier territory upon having units garrisoned into it.

!!!Prism Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Combat Support\\
'''Weapons''': Prism Weapon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Intensifying light trajectory!"

This powerful Allied tank uses a weapon similar to the Allied Prism Tower. The powerful and deadly beam of light launched from the Prism Tanks cannon radiates from the target to hit other nearby enemies, allowing this vehicle to single-handedly destroy entire groups of enemy units. The range of dispersal depends on how close the Prism Tank is to its initial target.

* AIBreaker: Prism Tanks outrange every static defense except one and their attacks leap to nearer enemies so the tanks easily and quickly level up when properly micromanaged. The AI doesn't realize the deadly threat and sieges against CPU bases often turn into a massacre while [[ArtificialStupidity the armored units of the defender sit idle by on the other corner of the base]].
* BeamSpam: Attacks by rapidly firing beams.
* EnergyWeapon: A mobile version of the Prism Tower.
* {{Foil}}: To the Mirage Tank. They are experimental GlassCannon tanks designed by Albert Einstein, both are very good against infantry, but while the Prism Tank is much stronger against buildings than against vehicles, the Mirage Tank is much stronger against vehicles than against buildings.
* GlassCannon: While it fires long-range [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] that can hit multiple units (Three or four could destroy an Apocalypse Tank, six will destroy any structure in the game. A group of nine or more prism tanks can overcome just about any land opposition), but two-three shots from the basic Soviet Rhino Tank will take it out.
* LongRangeFighter: Prism Tanks can outrange most base defenses, but are weak in a direct fight with their slow rate of fire and weak armour.
* RecursiveAmmo: Since they're not equipped to combine their beams into one super-powered beam like the larger Prism Towers, they instead have their lasers [[ReflectingLaser scatter on impact]]. With sufficient experience, a single one of them can attack a lone tank or sentry gun in an enemy base and end up destroying or severely crippling half of that base.
* ReflectingLaser: Its Prism beams can diffracts off of targets, causing secondary beams that fly out in all directions, but with an extremely short range.
* SiegeEngines: For the Allied, their Prism beams can hit targets at long range.
* SplashDamage: Prism Tanks shoot a long-range explosive beam of light every 1 1/2 seconds which deals devastating splash damage to every unit within a small radius of the impact point. This makes it especially powerful as a building destroyer bigger targets like Construction Yards and superweapons take all this damage.
* TanksButNoTanks: The Prism '''Tank''' actually bears more resemblance to artillery than tanks, being too lightly armoured to survive on the front line and more suited to attacking bases from afar.
* {{Technobabble}}: In the ''Yuri's Revenge'' expansion, the Prism Tank gets its own unique quotes. And while not overly complicated, some of the words are kind of fancy and scientific.
-->"Dioptic manifolds clear."
-->"Compensating for terrain flux."
-->"Intensifying light trajectory."

* WaveMotionGun: Prism Cannon has a flap on the rear which animates when the Cannon is shooting.

!!!Tank Destroyer

'''Trained at:''' War Factory.]
-->"You call THAT armor?"

German scientists have developed the Tank Destroyer, a unit designed specifically to give German forces an edge against enemy armor. While very weak against structures or infantry, Tank Destroyers are extremely powerful against enemy vehicles, packing as much firepower against them as an Apocalypse Tank, and can be used either to clear the way for your own attacks or to blunt incoming columns of enemy armor.

* AntiVehicle: It has a large anti-tank cannon mounted on a flexible, tracked platform, which is capable of easily destroying enemy tanks, even punching through the heavy armor of the Apocalypse tanks and ore miners like War miners and Slave miners.
* BadassBoast:
-->"No armor's too tough"
-->"They gotta get through me first!"
-->"Not a tank I can't break!"
-->"You call THAT armor?"
-->"Let's see who's tougher"
* CoolButInefficient: On paper it is a good a good counter to an early game take rush. In practice, not so much. It can defeat a Rhino Tank on one on, but it's damage is terrible against anything other tanks. Having a fixed turret actually makes it vulnerable to flanking attacks against the type of unit it is supposed to counter.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Tank Destroyer does ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, with a unique attack type that does very heavy damage to tanks, but hardly does a scratch on buildings and infantry (although it can still run over them). Even against tanks, it's vulnerable to flanking thanks to its fixed turret. There are also some vehicles it actually loses against, such as Apocalypse Tanks, Battle Fortresses (depends on the composition) and, surprisingly enough, Slave Miners.
* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: Is turret is in a fixed position, so the whole vehicle must turn in order to engage a target.
* {{Foil}}: To the Sniper - both are country-specific units for the Allies that deal very high damage to only one kind of unit (infantry for Snipers, vehicles for the Tank Destroyer) but are completely useless against everything else.
* GermanicEfficiency:
-->"Deutschland's finest"
* NationalWeapon: The Tank Destroyers are Germany's unique vehicles.

!!![=NightHawk=] Transport
[floatboxright:

-->"LZ is hot!"

This massive transport helicopter is used to move infantry units across the map quickly and efficiently, without regard to terrain. The Night Hawk Transport is also completely invisible to enemy radar, making it even more effective at shuttling units back and forth. It is vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire, however.

* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: The only airbone transport unit, the Nighthawk Transport helicopter was used by as a method of quickly deploying special forces units wherever they were needed on the battlefield. As it is stealthed against radar, the Nighthawk can be used to transport units undetected through a gap in the anti-air defenses of an enemy base, then deliver them into the heart of the base.
* {{Expy}}: The Nighthawk resembles a fusion of the CH-46 Sea Knight and the CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters. Both are used by the United States Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1), a squadron responsible of transportation of the United States President. The Nighthawk in-game has the same role, at the end of Operation: Hail to the Chief, when secret servicemen escorted Dugan to a Nighthawk. HMX-1 is also nicknamed 'The Nighthawks'.

* DangerDeadpan: It apparently have pilots that sound like your typical Chuck Yeager-type pilots when clicked on. The only time they sound panicky is when they get shot down.
* DeathFromAbove: Harrier sometimes says this when ordering it to attack something.
* EjectEjectEject: One of the Harrier quotes when shot down.
* GlassCannon: Harriers are fast and deal noticeable damage to practically any ground target - for example, three Harrier missiles destroy a single Rhino Tank. The problem Harriers have is actually reaching the target, for they tend to drop like flies to anti-aircraft fire.

Dolphins are an important naval unit for the Allied forces. Cloaked and invisible to enemy radar, Dolphins attack with a sonar amplification device. They are effective against any Soviet naval units, particularly Giant Squids and Subs.

* AttackAnimal: Dolphins which are specially trained to assist the military.
* CripplingOverspecialization: The Dolphin is a dedicated anti-naval unit and cannot attack land unit and aircraft.
* FragileSpeedster: Very fast swimmers and excellent naval harassers but also very weak and not likely to survive a prolonged fight.
* HeroicDolphin: That can bring down submarines and large warships.
* MakeMeWannaShout: The Dolphin has an amplified sonic weapon as an actual damaging attack that can take out boats if they attack in groups.

The main battleship of the Allied Navy. It is armed with a cannon to hit all above water ships and land targets. On its back is the Osprey aircraft, which disengages to fire at any underwater enemy units that are detected.

* {{BFG}}: It's 155 mm.
* CoolPlane: The Osprey.
* CoolShip: It was not too expensive and could be deployed in large groups. Their cannon was effective against other ships, like Dreadnoughts, and the Ospreys were effective against submarines. They were excellent in defending Aircraft carriers against Soviet and Yuri submarines, and they were also effective in attacking coast-based enemies, clearing the way for Amphibious transports.
* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: Its cannon is in a fixed position, so the whole ship must turn in order to engage a target.
* GlassCannon: The Osprey can take out submarines in two volleys, but it's extremely frail.
* JackOfAllStats: Outside of air enemies, which Destroyers cannot target, they are good units in all fronts, with respectable damage, speed and armor. They are not powerful enough to take down a main battle tank or a submarine one-on-one, but Destroyers make it up in versatility and range.
* MilitaryMashupMachine: Beside main cannon with which Destroyer can attack most of targets, they also have landing pad for Ospreys, specialized anti-submarine aircraft.
* {{Nerf}}: It's main gun doesn't have near the range and damage of the Destroyer in the original Red Alert, since the Allies being buffed in Red Alert 2 means they don't need to have overpowered naval units to compensate for the Soviets having better land and air units.
* TrueSight: They can detect stealthed and submerged units in big radius around them.

Another important Allied ship, the Aegis Cruiser is used to defend against aerial attacks. In addition to standard anti-aircraft defenses, Aegis Cruisers are also equipped with anti-missile defenses that can protect vital installations against missile attacks.

* AntiAir: The Aegis is the main Allied anti-air naval unit.
* BadassBoast:
-->"Protector of the Allied fleet"
-->"Let loose the Allied fury"
* CripplingOverspecialization: The Aegis is a very powerful anti-air unit, but is useless against everything else.
* HomingProjectile: Like most AntiAir units in the game that fire missiles, the Aegis Cruiser's home towards their target, so that not even fast units like Black Eagles or Boris's [=MiGs=] survive a salvo.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: It's starts off as a powerful anti-air unit that fires damaging missiles at targets. However, as it begins to rack up kills and gain promotions (which isn't too hard as it's pretty good at its job) it gets becomes even more powerful and fires missiles nonstop. To elaborate: An Elite Aegis Cruiser is easily capable of taking down a group of 3 Kirov Airships (and maybe more) in 2 seconds, make it become the most powerful AA unit in game.

!!!Aircraft Carrier

Exactly as you might guess, the Aircraft Carrier is a large ship that attacks by sending its aircraft to launch an assault on the target. Planes from an Aircraft Carrier land, reload and continue attacking until the selected target is destroyed. Even better, any aircraft lost by the Aircraft Carrier are automatically replaced without any cost.

* CoolPlane: Its Hornet fighters.
* DroneDeployer: The Aircraft Carrier doesn't attack by itself and serves as a platform for Hornet to bombard enemy units from afar.
* GlassCannon: Hornets are ''extremely'' frail, but they deal enough damage for Aircraft Carriers to essentially work as naval SiegeEngines. Against strong defenses, however, Aircraft Carriers will spend more time replacing Hornets than dealing damage with them.
* MookMaker: The ship carries a contingent of three Hornet VTOL attack jets armed with homing missiles and capable of repairing, rearming and rebuilding the jets.
* SiegeEngines: Packing several UAV capable of delivering their payload over huge distances with deadly accuracy, the Aircraft Carrier is capable of leveling any enemy base to the ground with ease.
* UnitsNotToScale: Not only the carrier itself, but its Hornets are also much smaller than they should be.

!!Red Alert 3
!!!Peacekeeper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Ground Combat\\
'''Weapons''': Grummond-6 Shotgun\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"Keeping the peace is our personal business."

Though they nominally police war-torn regions in times of peace, Peacekeepers are at the front lines of any conflict. They are well-trained and heavily-armoured, armed with Grummond-8 Shotguns that can send a man flying backwards at close range. Peacekeepers excel in urban combat, and their training allows even a single Peacekeeper to storm a civilian building and eliminate its hostile occupants. Peacekeepers are by far the most powerful basic infantry in the game, as they are both heavily armed and armored, and through clever use of their Riot Shields, are capable of reaching an enemy unit with very little health loss, allowing them to then draw their shotguns and deal the maximum damage possible to their opponent.

* BlownAcrossTheRoom: A close shotgun shot sends flying and knocks down nearby infantry for a few seconds. It even works on commandos.
* CannonFodder: ''Really expensive'' cannon fodder, but fulfills the same role.
* DifficultButAwesome: Unlike the more straightforward Conscripts and Imperial Warriors, Peacekeepers require proper management of their Riot Shield ability as well as getting as close to the enemy as possible to maximize their damage. Done well, however, makes them well worth their cost.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Peacekeepers look more like riot police then front-line soldiers. Their primary weapon is a ShortRangeShotgun, but they also have a metal shield that they can deploy to protect against bullets, while they slowly walk towards the target in order to unleash their weapon. It evene prevent them from getting 1-hit killed by ninjas and Tesla troopers. They are still vulnerable to sniper attacks such as Spies and Natasha, however it will take several shots to bring down a shield-protected Peacekeeper.
* ShapedLikeItself:
-->"Peacekeeper, keeping the peace."
* ShortRangeShotgun: While their shotguns have similar effective range to Conscripts' and Imperial Warriors' assault rifles, they deal more damage in close range. In addition, any enemy who gets too close will be BlownAcrossTheRoom.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: They are the most expensive of the three sides' basic infantry units but can kill regular enemy infantry in two shots, and when very close to their target, even vehicles might be in trouble. They can knockdown even ninjas and commandos who gets too close, and with proper micromanagement can lock them in a CycleOfHurting.
* SplashDamage: Their shotguns can hit multiple infantry and do severe damage to groups of enemy troops.

!!!Javelin Soldier
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Anti-Armor/Anti-Air\\

'''Trained at:''' Barracks ]
-->"What's up, coach?"

Armed with the rapid-firing Javelin Missile Launcher, they are capable of bringing down even the most heavily armoured enemy vehicles under repeated fire. If additional firepower is required, they can activate their laser-lock capability. Though the system requires a few seconds before it can acquire its target, it will then subsequently fire a stream of missiles which can bring down even the most heavily armoured targets. Javelin Soldiers work best in cooperation with Peacekeepers, who can shield them from fire. The Javelin is an extremely powerful anti-vehicle unit, and has proven to be one of the best counters in the game to a Kirov Airship, with their laser lock dealing extreme amounts of damage to the Kirov in seconds.

* LaserSight: The Javelin soldiers' launchers can also paint targets with a laser, increasing the troopers' lethality, assuming that they have the time to charge their laser, the target doesn't leave their range or forcing them on the move while "painting" the target. If the lock-on process is complete, the Javelin soldier can activate the missile auto fire that launch near infinite rapid missile fire.
* LovableJock: His personality is more college-football-player than infantryman, using sports terms and referring to the Commander as "coach".
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Their special ability allows them to do this. They require a few seconds of start-up time, but once they get started, they fire a crapton of missiles at a target.
* CoolGuns/RocketsMissilesAndGrenadeLaunchers Their weapon is a rocket launcher, which looks similar to a Stinger missile launcher.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Being a soldier, Javelin soldiers almost completely covers their body, but still leaves their sculpted arms on display.
* TokenMinority: They're all African-American men. Although it should be noted that the Allied Forces are incredibly diverse anyways, due to being a coalition between the USA and the European Union.

The Cryo Legionnaire is the infantry version of the Cryocopter deployed by the Allies during the ''Red Alert 3: Uprising''. They were armed with a cryo-ray freeze weapon which freezes and immobilizes enemies with cold.

* TheAhnold: The Cryo Legionnaire's voice is a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger as [[Film/BatmanAndRobin Mr. Freeze]].
* {{Expy}}: Of Mr. Freeze in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', and to a lesser extent, Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger.
* {{Foil}}: They're the Allied equivalent of Tesla Troopers, as they both are equipped with PoweredArmor, wield elemental weapons, and constantly make puns based off of their respective element, with the Tesla Trooper making electricity puns and the Cryo Legionnare making puns relating to ice and cold temperatures.
* FreezeRay: Cryo Legionnaires can stop entire enemy squads dead in their tracks using their cryo cannons, which quickly freeze surface targets, including unprotected infantry all the way up to entire facilities or armor divisions.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Everything he says are cold-related puns of commonly used terms and {{Bond One Liner}}s such as "It's snow time!" and "Let's kick some ice!", this said imitating Schwarzenegger's voice, who acted as Mr. Freeze in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''. The name of the unit itself is a pun of an Allied unit from ''[=RA2=]''.
* AnIcePerson: Cryo Legionnaire can not only freeze whole groups of ground units [[HarmlessFreezing for capture]] ([[LiterallyShatteredLives or for shatter]]), but they can [[WalkOnWater walk on (solid) water]] by flash-freezing the water beneath them, and create ice aircrafts from inside a turret. Being Red Alert, this is combined with a repertoire of [[PungeonMaster hammy, cryohydrous-related dialogue]].
* {{Jetpack}}: Boost Kick ability enables Cryo Legionnaires to jump into the air and then crashes down to the ground, which can be useful for shattering frozen targets or leap into or out of battle.
* LightningBruiser: Surprisingly faster than regular infantrymen while on foot.
* PoweredArmor: Their suits are noted as making Tesla Troopers' look downright primitive, and give them vastly increased speed and the ability to walk on water in addition to the usual protection.
* PungeonMaster:
-->"I'm cool with that!"
-->"Crystal clear!"
* ShoutOut: Cryo Legionnaire is a pun of Chrono Legionnaires in ''Red Alert 2'' and also a shout out to Mr. Freeze. Many of the voiceovers are Mr. Freeze's lines ("Let's kick some ice!", "Cool Party", and "The Iceman Cometh").
* SpiritualSuccessor: To the Chrono Legionnaires in ''Red Alert 2''. Both are elite Allied infantry armed with experimental weapons and suits with advanced mobility capabilities.
* WalkOnWater: The unit's profile in the official website say this:
-->They may look like they'd sink like a rock, yet Cryo Legionnaires are quite literally capable of skating across watery surfaces. By flash-freezing the water under their feet (thanks to FutureTech's innovative Tundralest leggings), Cryo Legionnaires are always on solid footing even at sea.

!!!Prospector
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Resource Gathering & Forward Base Expansion\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' Armor Facility/Seaport ]
-->"Prospector on duty."

The Allies' primary ore collection vehicle. Capable of traveling on land as well as water, as with all ore collectors, they are absolutely vital for any Allied base. Without it, Allied resource pools would quickly dry up, leaving them unable to produce more units or structures. The Prospector also functions as the Allied expansion unit, allowing them to set up bases in remote locations. Due to its relative frailty and sheer importance, it must be guarded at all times.

* AmphibiousAutomobile: Prospectors can traverse land and water with equal ease, because of their automated aqua-sensitive air cushions.
* BaseOnWheels: The Prospector can deploy into a Command Hub, allowing for base expansion beyond the original base radius. This process however, is permanent, and cannot be reverted once performed.
* EndearinglyDorky: They have a goofy southern accent and a LOT of their quotes are downright adorable due to their wholesome personalities and enthusiasm.
--> (Moving to water) ''Golly, look at all that water!''
* NiceGuy: They probably have the most pleasant and friendly dialogue out of all the Allied units.
* {{Prospector}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Well]], duh.
* SweetHomeAlabama: The prospectors all have thick southern accents and are all [[NiceGuy Nice Guys]].
* WorkerUnit: Gathers ore to facilitate the player's economy. It's also doubles as a constructor, since it can transform into a Command Hub and allow new buildings to be built nearby.

!!!Multigunner IFV
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Variable Combat Support\\
'''Weapons''': Missiles/Various\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks ]
-->"Multigunner at your service."

The Multigunner Infantry Fighting Vehicle is a fast and versatile combat vehicle that can house one infantry unit. Although normally armed with guided missiles that are modestly effective against enemy vehicles and aircraft, the Multigunner can change or upgrade its weapons depending on whatever infantry unit is inside of it at the time. For this reason, it is a highly adaptable unit that can change depending on circumstances into combat unit effective against different targets or a support unit. Despite whatever configuration it is in however, it remains a lightly armoured vehicle, and lacks effectiveness against heavier targets.

* AdaptiveArmor: Multigunner IFV is an adaptive jeep that would power up any infantry put inside (including the other factions).
* AntiAir: It comes equipped with standard light anti-armour missiles capable of accurately taking down enemy aircraft.
* AntiVehicle: When carrying a Javelin soldier, it has improved effectiveness against enemy vehicles, but less effective against infantry and aircraft.
* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: Is billed as an IFV despite only carrying one soldier -- but its weapon changes to match that unit's specialty (i.e., loading a rocket trooper gives it (more) rocket pods, loading a [[AnIcePerson Cryo Legionnaire]] gives it an ice beam) -- it can even gain weapons from troops of other factions.
* AwesomeAussie: The drivers have Australian accents. In fact, the [=IFVs=] themselves were designed by an unknown Australian company.
* BeamSpam: When carrying Imperial Warriors, the Multigunner IFV gains a beam gun that is reasonably powerful against not only infantry, but to light vehicles too.
* DualModeUnit: The Multigunner IFV can carry a single infantryman, and swap out its missiles for a different weapon depending on which trooper was in it.
* EnergyBow: When carrying an Archer Maiden, the Multigunner IFV turret has the same weapon as these infantry, only stronger and with longer range.
* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: Unlike their ''Red Alert 2'' predecessors, Multigunner IFV do not have a turret, which means the entire vehicle has to turn to fire at its target.
* FreezeRay: When carrying Cryo Legionnaires, the Multigunner IFV gains a cryo cannon that can even freeze enemy aircraft, instantly killing it.
* GatlingGood: When carrying a Conscript, the Multigunner IFV gains anti-infantry gatling guns.
* JackOfAllStats: The adaptation system allows the Multigunner IFV to quickly be equipped to handle almost any problem efficiently, but it retains its low health and armor.
* LightningGun: When carrying a Tesla Trooper, the Multigunner IFV acquires a very powerful upgrade in the form of a one-shot kill against infantry and it does respectable damage to buildings, light vehicles and even some of the heavier units in the game. It fires a lot faster than a normal Tesla Trooper and, of course, its speed can open up more tactical opportunities.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: When Javelins enter a Multigunner IFV, it doubles the amount of missiles launched, but takes longer to fire.
* MakeMeWannaShout: When carrying an Attack Dog or War Bear, its default missile launcher converts to loudspeakers that amplify the dog's/bear's barks/roars and stun the targeted infantry when the vehicle is ordered to attack.
* MindOverMatter: A Multigunner IFV carrying Yuriko gain her standard attack but with longer attack range.
* MookMedic: When carrying an Engineer, it can repair other vehicles, allowing Allied vehicles to live longer on the battlefield.
* OneHitPolykill: A Multigunner IFV carrying Natasha gains the ability to shoot through multiple infantry.
* PlasmaCannon: When carrying a Tankbuster, the Multigunner IFV turret has the same weapon as these infantry, only firing much faster and at longer range.
* PoisonedWeapons: When carrying a Desolator, the vehicle gains an enhanced toxin spray.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: When carrying a Peacekeeper, the vehicle gains anti-personnel shotguns, with knocked back any infantry caught at close to point-blank range.
* SniperRifle: When carrying a Spy or Natasha, the Multigunner IFV is armed with an anti-personnel sniper gun that's good for destroying Terror Drones and killing infantry.

!!!Riptide ACV
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Amphibious\\
'''Role''': Amphibious Transport/Assault\\
'''Weapons''': Machine Guns & Torpedoes\\
'''Trained at:''' Armor Facility/Seaport]
-->"Alright, who's our first pickup?"

Mainly a personnel transport, the Riptide ACV is also a versatile combat unit that can fight effectively on either land or sea. Its primary weapon is a .50 calibre machine gun, which is highly effective against enemy infantry, and can be used on either land or sea with some effectiveness against lightly armoured vehicles as well. At sea, it can also make use of a pair of torpedo tubes to engage naval targets. Although lightly armoured and somewhat lacking in firepower against stronger enemy units, the Riptide is highly mobile on all forms of terrain, and very cheap to produce.

* AmphibiousAutomobile: Its entire purpose is to serve as an amphibious transport for infantry.
* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: Capable of carrying five infantry units, this hovercraft is also amphibious, allowing it to rapidly manoeuvre around the battlefield. The Riptide has two torpedo tubes to fend off assault during seaborne action, as well as a machine gun to hold enemy infantry at bay. In generally, due to its decent speed, variable weapons, and moderate cost, the Riptide is probably the most well-balanced APC in ''Red Alert 3''.

!!!MBT-X8 Guardian Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Armored Assault\\
'''Weapons''': 90mm Gun, Laser Sight\\
'''Trained at:''' Armor Facility ]
-->"Guardian Tank awaiting deployment!"

The Guardian Tank is the Allies main battle tank. Though lacking the sheer strength and firepower of the Soviet Hammer Tank or the mobility of the Imperial Tsunami Tank, it is a highly effective unit in its own right. It is fast, heavily armoured, and well-armed, outperforming its enemy counterparts in several respects. Its 90 mm smoothbore cannon is a highly effective weapon against vehicles, and is more powerful than either Soviet or Imperial equivalents. In addition, the Guardian Tank can activate a special targeting laser which increases the accuracy and firepower of friendly units against designated targets.

* FootballHooligans: Guardian Tank was crewed by them. Given that Allied base soldiers are upgunned riot police...
* GlassCannon: As far as MBT is concerned, they have the most powerful gun out of the 3 factions' tanks. However they are less armored than the Hammer tank and cannot deploy a DeflectorShield like the Tsunami.
* LaserSight: Guardian Tank are equipped with Spyglass target designator (colloquially called the "target painter" in-game) as secondary fire, which gives all friendly units a 50% firepower bonus against a designated target.
* OnlySaneMan: Of the three tanks in the Tutorial, while the Hammer Tank is stupid and the Tsunami Tank spends most of its time abusing said Hammer Tank, the Guardian mostly tries to focus on teaching the player.
* SupportPartyMember: Using the target designator disables the gun, but greatly increases damage done by other units.
* TankGoodness: It features an improved target designating system, allowing it to "paint" an enemy unit and relay targeting information to other Allied units, allowing them to rapidly fire upon the enemy unit. The Guardian has high speeds and quite powerful firepower because of its 90mm guns are more powerful than the Hammer Tank's own 85mm gun - but the Guardian has weaker armor.

!!!Athena Cannon
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Long-Range Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': Athena Orbital Laser Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Armor Facility ]
-->"Athena Cannon, how may I assist you?"

The Athena Cannon is the Allies' long range bombardment unit, utilizing laser painters to designate targets for destruction by orbital satellites. It is extremely effective against stationary targets though less so against mobile targets. In critical situations the Athena Cannon can also project an Aegis Shield around itself.

* AmazonBrigade: All Athena Cannon pilots are female, who quotes are based on phrases said by telephone operators.
* ConvergingStreamWeapon: Unusually, they emerge from the same point on the Athena and "sweep" towards to the target from the left, right, and top. Also, they're the targeting lasers - once they converge, the real weapon shoots down from orbit.
* DeathFromAbove: The Athena Cannon is technically unarmed, with the destruction being done by the orbital satellites.
* DeflectorShield: By changing its weapon configuration, the Athena Cannon can engage an Aegis shield which will protect all friendly units within. When the shield integrity falls, so does the size of the shield. A low integrity shield means it is too small to protect units around it.
* KillSat: In the form of a truck-mounted LaserSight and comms boom paired with a Kill Sat up in orbit -- also less verbatim. Oddly, though, each truck purchased gives you control of a different satellite, [[FridgeLogic leading some players to wonder why, if they have all these satellites up there, they can't just use them]] ''[[FridgeLogic all at once]]''. However, given that the Allies are clearly obsessed with data security ("clearance" must be purchased in order to deploy more advanced weapons), [[FridgeBrilliance it does make a kind of sense]] for them not to give you too many at once.
* MeaningfulName: The Athena Cannon is named for the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, and it is a technologically advanced weapon system operated by a woman.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Their lines are all phrased as if their pilots are telephone operators. It's a ''lot'' cooler than it sounds.
* SiegeEngines: Serves this role for the Allies due to its long range and effectiveness against structures.
* SplashDamage: Athema Cannon beam causes "splash" damage and can take valuable health off of groups of enemy units.

!!!Mirage Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Stealth Combat & Ambush Attack\\
'''Weapons''': Spectrum-Dispersion Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Armor Facility ]
-->"Bonjour, Commander!"

The Mirage Tank is the Allies advanced strike tank, capable of using its advanced weapon systems and personal Gap Generator to cause havoc on the battlefield. With its combination of stealth and powerful weaponry, the Mirage Tank is a direct threat to anything that moves on the ground. While it possesses incredible firepower, it lacks armour, and has an extremely short attack range. Skillful usage however, can overcome these disadvantages easily.

* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: *Snort* Inverted HARD. They're all piloted by Frenchmen, but they're one of the most powerful Allied units in the game.
* CompositeCharacter: Combines elements from several elements of the Allied arsenal in ''Red Alert 2''. It uses the same weaponry as the advanced anti-ground defense, like the Prism Tank, can disguise as an ordinary object when immobile as that game's Mirage Tank (and has a fixed turret too), its weapon is effective against ''all'' ground targets like both combined, and its ability to cloak nearby allied units is named after the Gap Generator. It does, however, lack the range of either unit, being fairly short in comparison.
* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: It's Spectrum Cannon in a fixed position, so the whole vehicle must turn in order to engage a target.
* GlassCannon: Does more damage per shot than Apocalypse Tanks and King Onis, and unlike them does the same amount of damage against infantry as it does vehicles, but doesn't have much more health than a Guardian Tank.
* InvisibilityCloak: By re-routing power from its main weapon to its Personal Gap Generator, the Mirage Tank can deploy a cloaking field that shrouds all targets within its radius from the enemy's view. The downside to this ability is that the Mirage Tank cannot use its main weapon due to the power requirements, and that the Mirage Tank cannot conceal itself as well.
* MobileShrubbery: Turns into a lamppost and milk truck when on roads preventing the issues of their ''Red Alert 2'' predecessors turning into a tree on a street... When there is nothing around to mimic, the Mirage tank will turn invisible, and on rare occasions, the Mirage Tank will copy a unit.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Downplayed. In comparison to the Apocalypse Tank or the King Oni, it's positively tiny, but it's Spectrum Cannon is nothing to scoff at, as it'll deal the same amount of damage on infantry as it'll do on vehicles and structures, which is a lot.
* SimpleYetAwesome: Not a fortress on treads like the Apocalypse Tank, or a flashy HumongousMecha like the King Oni, but this incarnation of the Mirage Tank is less expensive to build than the former two, and improves on the Guardian Tank with a weapon that is equally effective against infantry and vehicles. The Gap Generator cloaking field along with its own Mirage camouflage adds to their utility.
* TankGoodness: Its spectrum cannon is highly effective against all surface targets, capable of reducing structures and even the most heavily armoured vehicles to scrap in a few seconds. This, combined with its ability to camouflage itself while stationary, or not using its secondary ability, makes it perfect for ambushing enemy forces.
* WaveMotionGun: Short range version of the spectrum tower's gun, it will still fry anything it hits.

!!!Pacifier FAV
[floatboxright:

'''Trained at:''' Armor Facility ]
-->"Our preparations are complete"

The Pacifier FAV is a self-propelled artillery hovercraft.

* AreaOfEffect
-->"Pacify Them!"
* {{BFG}}: Two 150mm Twin-Barled Long-Range Artilery Grand Cannons, that required the Pacifer entrench using the lifts as stabilizers.
* CrosshairAware: Before shooting its slow-traveling but long-ranged and [[ImpressivePyrotechnics EXTREMELY]] explosive shell, it marks the target area with crosshairs. Getting inside the crosshairs may be hazardous to your health.
* FakeBalance: While it costs more than the Athena Cannon, it's nowhere near as fragile, it's '''amphibious''' (which lets them bombard bases from unsuspecting locations), deals SplashDamage with its attack, and can even use twin miniguns to deal with infantry if needed. And, despite all of this, it's available as soon as Tier ''2'', earlier than the Athena Cannon.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Their name isn't the most threatening for what's essentially a self-propelled hovercraft that transforms into a weapon platform.
* {{Foil}}: To the Apocalypse Tank. They're both some of the largest armored vehicles in their respective factions which both have alternate modes, and they also both are distinctive for their twin weapons, with the main differences being that the Pacifier FAV wields anti-infantry miniguns, immobilizes itself to attack from a distance in it's weapons platform form, while the Apocalypse Tank has two anti-armor cannons, and drags other units near it to attack up-close with it's grinders with it's Magnetic Harpoon while retaining it's mobility. The personalities of their pilots are also opposites, as the Pacifier pilots are dead serious and exist in a constant state of TranquilFury, while the Apocalypse Tank pilots are sadistically cruel and often laugh and mock their enemies. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking They also quote two well known political figures, in the form of]] UsefulNotes/RichardNixon and UsefulNotes/NikitaKhrushchev.
* GatlingGood: When not deployed.
* HoverTank: Specifically, the Pacifier is built on a streamlined, all-terrain chassis that uses four independently-articulated hoverlifts to carry the vehicle over land and sea.
* CoolGuns/MachineGuns: It uses a pair of miniguns in it's hovercraft form.
* MasterOfAll: It's able to quickly shred infantry into a red goo with it's twin miniguns, and fire explosive shells from a distance that can absolutely wreck structures and armored vehicles in it's platform mode. Plus, it can also float above water as well. It's only notable downside is that it doesn't have a way to deal with anti-surface aerial units and it can't deploy into it's mobile platform mode when on water.
* MoreDakka: A nasty surprise to any commando that decides to try and take them down.
* MultiformBalance: It can either be an anti-infantry hovercraft or a anti-vehicle and structure weapon platform.
* TookALevelInBadass: They use the same Grand Cannons exclusive to France in ''Red Alert 2'', except they have a much higher rate of fire now and are also mobile, as the Pacifiers can freely deploy from any position that allows them to.
* TranquilFury: They speak in a constant dead serious tone filled with a subdued anger.
--> (Getting attacked) ''Little brats!''
--> (Attacking when deployed) ''They had their chance!''
* ShoutOut:
** To the Siege Tank in Starcraft, made even more obvious that the title of the mission to unlock it in Challenge mode is called "Ready to Roll Out", which is the Siege Tank's creation line.
** They also reference UsefulNotes/RichardNixon and his list of enemies in one of their lines. "They're on the list!"
* SiegeEngines: The Pacifier was a self-propelled artillery hovercraft that entered limited service with Allied in Uprising and available with lower clearance levels than Athena Cannon.

[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Drone\\
'''Role''': Automated Anti-Armor\\
'''Weapons''': Neutron Scrambler & Riot Beam Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Armor Facility ]
-->"Future Tank operational"

The Future Tank X-1 is a humanoid-esque, computer-operated drone vehicle available to the Allies in ''Red Alert 3: Uprising''. Far and away one of the most powerful and deadly units in the game, a single Future Tank is more than capable of going toe-to-toe with most opposing forces and emerging victorious, if not seriously damaging or outright crippling entire columns of vehicles and infantry.

* AreaOfEffect: Outfitted with a pair of arm-mounted ''Neutron Scramblers'', Future Tanks could fire concentrated bursts of explosive energy at a target which would detonate and expand outward in a wide radius, including air units even though the Future Tank can't actually target them, dealing significant damage to any enemy unit within the sphere of effect. Utilized in groups, successive blasts from this weapon had the ability to obliterate entire divisions of enemy forces in mere seconds.
* CurbStompBattle: In a preview clip showcasing various units and their abilities, a Future Tank is shown using its Riot Beam special weapon to tear apart two '''''Apocalypse Tanks'''''. Moreso, a group of Future Tanks teleported into an enemy base can easily spell disaster in a matter of seconds.
* FakeBalance: It costs more than the other Tier 3 armor units, and will only barely emerge the victor in a direct fight. This would make it AwesomeButImpractical, if not for the massive splash damage radious that allows it hit masses of enemies at once. This allows a single Future Tank to lay waste to Tier 2 armor units by the half dozen, and for groups of them to easily win against groups of Tier 3 armor units even when outnumbered. This attack even hits air units despite the Future Tank not being able to target them. On top of this it has a fast recharging OneHitKO ability.
* FriendlyFireproof: Despite the Future Tank dealing wide SplashDamage with their attacks, friendly units come out unscathed from it.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite it is described as completely robotic, Natasha can still pilot snipe it, and you can then steal it with a conscript just like any other vehicle.
* HerdHittingAttack: The Neutron Scramblers - the Future Tank's pair of primary weapons, unleash explosive energy that expands in a huge area-of-effect, damaging multiple vehicles and structures stacked together. It even damages '''''aircraft''''' caught in its blast.
* MechaMooks: A completely robotic and autonomous tank.
* MightyGlacier: It has a HerdHittingAttack that has superweapon-level blast radius, and its special "Riot Beam" is instant death for anything that's not a conyard or superweapon. Naturally they cost almost twice as much as the apocalypse tank, is a tier 3 Allied vehicle (With allies taking the longest to tech up), and is slow as they get.
* OneHitKO: Its Riot Beam. An accurate Riot Beam can turn into an OneHitPolykill, as said Riot Beam has a small (but still noticeable) area of effect roughly the size of a smaller tank. On infantry and when hitting between two tanks, it does enough damage to kill ''all'' of them.
* TankTreadMecha: A huge, vaguely humanoid mech that has a pair of tank treads instead of legs.
* ShoutOut:
** To T-1 Terminators from the third Terminator movie, Rise of the Machines.
** The tank's ability "Riot Beam" firing animation bears great similarity to the attack of the Starcraft 2 Protoss Collosus, who fires two searing hot "thermal lances" across enemy lines.
* SphereOfDestruction: It's attacks take the form of a transpheric, expanding sphere that deals constant damage to everything in it, easily large enough to engulf entire tank columns. It becomes especially noticable if they're fired en masse against lighter enemies, in which case the ensuing simply ''annihilates'' anything that comes in contact with it.
* SplashDamage: It does more damage per shot than an Apocalypse Tank or King Oni, and its have a huge area of effect that even hits aerial units, at the cost of a slower rate of fire, even though it can't actually target them. As a result, while it will come out heavily damaged against the Apocalypse Tank and King Oni one-on-one, it will do better in massed assaults, as each Future Tank hits the entire enemy formation at once.
* WaveMotionGun: The special ability the Riot beam, it fires a pair of continuous beams from its cannons.

!!!Vindicator
[floatboxright:

'''Trained at:''' Airbase ]
-->"You're in good hands, my friend!"

The basic Allied aircraft, the Vindicator is fast and relatively well-armoured, armed with guided bombs which it can drop on targets with great accuracy. This attack is extremely powerful, and can be used to great effect throughout the game, killing early units singlehandedly, while later in the game several can be used to take out strong enemy units, as they have the accuracy required, whereas the heavy Century Bomber, while more powerful, is inaccurate and can often miss moving units, leaving that niche to be filled by the Vindicator. It is however, very vulnerable to anti-air fire, and can be downed by fighters and anti-aircraft ground units with ease.

* AcePilot: Marcos "Toreador" de la Concepcion, a Vindicator pilot who during the Battle of Hill 227, he flew continuously for over 29 hours, helping repel an attacking Soviet armored regiment, until he was finally shot down by a patrolling [=MiG=]. Armed with only a pistol, he made his way through enemy held territory to the 3rd Battalion perimeter. He refused evacuation and remained with the troops, coordinating strikes by his fellow Vindicator pilots over the next three days until a wave of Sickles finally overran his position.
* BoringButPractical: Not as flashy as other ground attack aircraft but arguably the most useful. Its ability to attack while moving also makes them less vulnerable to opposing anti-air fire. There's also the strategy of simply creating many airbases all at once to create an entire horde of them, which is nothing too flashy but is capable of destroying multiple structures in one go depending on how many they are.
* CoolPlane: It's stubby, not terribly fast, carries just two little bombs, and can't even kill other aircraft. What it can and will do is consistantly and constantly knock out enemy resource collectors, vehicles, buildings and just about anything else. It's like a little sniper rifle you point at whatever you want dead and let fly. Entire strategies were built around the reliable little guy, and it pretty much entirely defined Allied strategy throughout the patch cycle.
* DashingHispanic: The pilots all have thick Spanish accents and have voices that are best described as sleazy, yet cool sounding.
* DifficultButAwesome: Compared to the Twinblade and the Chopper VX, the Vindicator requires the most micromanagement and is less versatile. On the other hand, the Vindicator is part of some of the most powerful attack combinations the Allies have, such as freezing a target and then sending a Vindicator for a very quick OneHitKill.

The primary Allied aerial anti-aircraft unit, the Apollo Fighter is a fast and agile unit armed with two autocannons for use against enemy aircraft. The Apollo Fighter is fast and extremely effective against all airborne targets, and thanks to its vertical take-off and landing capabilities, can hover in one area for an extended period of time.

* CoolPlane: It arguably the most powerful air superiority fighter available in all since a newly trained Apollo will almost certainly destroy a Jet Tengu or [=MiG=] Fighter in a one-on-one fight. Defeating a Jet Tengu will be easy for the Apollo, a [=MiG=], however, is slightly a closer call. When fighting each other, the Apollo tends to emerge victorious as its firing rate is constant while the [=MiG=]'s weapons are more damaging, has intervals between salvos.
* DangerDeadpan: The Apollo pilots sometimes shout "Where's the eject?" when you shoot them down.

The Cryocopter is a civilian helicopter armed with experimental Cryo Beam, which is capable of freezing targets to sub-zero temperatures. This makes the Cryocopter an extremely valuable support unit, capable of helping Allied forces dispatch many other units with ease, even allowing far weaker units to deal with some of the strongest units in the opposing arsenal.

* FragileSpeedster: Any unit hit by the S.H.R.I.N.K. Ray, even Apocalypse Tanks, is turned into one of these.
* FreezeRay: The Cryocopter's main weapon is capable of freezing targets to sub-zero temperatures.
* FunWithAcronyms: '''S'''trong '''H'''omogenous '''R'''esidual-'''I'''nteractive '''N'''eutron '''K'''inetic.
* HarmlessFreezing: The unit's profile in the official website lampshades this:
-->Frozen targets are effectively thrust into a state of suspended animation. The effects of the freezing gradually wear off and the target snaps out of the effect all at once, with no recollection of the passage of time, as though waking from slumber. In fact, a majority of test subjects reported feeling unusually relaxed after this fugue state. Although research findings concerning the long-term effects of the freezing are inconclusive as of yet, the cryobeam has provisionally been deemed "perfectly safe" by manufacturer [=FutureTech=] Corporation.
** Though shooting one soldier with more than one cryobeam will make him explode.
* HeliumSpeech: Anything that gets shrunk.
* NoExperiencePointsForMedic: As they cannot kill enemies on their own, they will never get any veterancy points.
* NotTheIntendedUse: Their shrink ray can be used to speed up Prospectors and [=MCVs=] due to anything shrunk by it getting a boost in speed.
* OneHitPointWonder: If they manage to freeze their target, they are instantly destroyed when anything hits it. Even if it's a full-health Construction Yard and it gets attacked by a lone Conscript.
* ShrinkRay: Their S.H.R.I.N.K. Ray can causes an increase in speed, but a decrease in range, damage and armor to its target. Due to smaller size, any affected vehicle can be run over by any other enemy vehicle.
* SquishyWizard: It is extremely vulnerable to anti-air fire, and it can't defend itself, but its support abilities combined with effective micro-management make it utterly deadly.
* SupportPartyMember: Cryocopters cannot directly damage enemy units and buildings, however they can make them extremely fragile.

-->"Just give us a target and we're on our way."

The B-2X Century Bomber evolved out of a need to maintain in the air at all times a powerful response force to Soviet aggression. It is capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of punishment, and carries a large payload of bombs. Thanks to its large crew cabin, the Century Bomber can carry up up to five infantry, which can be paradropped behind enemy lines. The most powerful aircraft in the Allied Air Force, the Century Bomber is devastating to enemy structures and large groups. Best used against buildings or masses of units, the Century Bomber inflicts great deals of damage to the enemy. The Century bomber can be shot down however, and is especially weak against fighter aircraft.

* CoolPlane: Made in the U.S.A., these sturdy planes can carpet-bomb fortified enemy compounds into dust, then deploy paratroopers to mop up.
* FlyingBrick: Sufficient to say they can take much, much more punishment than the average aircraft.
* ItsRainingMen: Not only an effective bomber, it can also transport infantry. Air-dropping [[OneManArmy Tanya]] and some Engineers into a base was once an extremely viable tactic.
* MightyGlacier: For an aircraft, it's pretty slow.
* OldSoldier: The pilots have a raspy voice that suggest they're piloted by older men.
* ShoutOut:
** Its quotes' are taken from Major Kong's lines in ''Film/DrStrangelove''.
** "Norwell-Hucks", the company whose products Century Bomber is probably based on Rockwell, an aviation company in real-life that produced the B-1 bomber.
* SouthernFriedPrivate: The Century Bomber pilots all have thick southern accents and use various southernisms in their dialogue, such as exclaiming "Fine as cream gravy" when returning to base and yelling "Aw. Horse Feathers" when attacked.
* TakingYouWithMe: You think you're safe when you shoot down that Century Bomber? Think again: the wreckage will fall to the ground (possibly on whatever killed it) and explode, dealing heavy damage.

!!!Harbinger Gunship
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Heavy Air Support\\
'''Weapons''': 120mm Collider Cannon & 25mm Eliminator Chaingun\\
'''Trained at:''' Airbase ]
-->"Y'ever wonder what they're thinkin' down there?"

The Harbinger gunship was one of [=FutureTech=]'s additions to the Allied arsenal in ''Red Alert 3: Uprising''. It is a massive 4-engined bomber, mounted with an on-board Collider core and heavy machine guns and cannons for ground attack.

* CoolPlane: It's more or less the Real Life American AC-130H Spectre on steroids... and the Harbringer's very much based on it.
* DeathFromAbove: Harbinger is a heavy air support bombardment unit with huge ass cannons.
* EnergyWeapon: Packing the power of the Proton Collider, the Collider Cannon can decimate enemy armor divisions and facilities. The first shot from the Collider Cannon is almost always on target, though subsequent rounds tend to stray slightly due to overheating and recoil. Even still, the ensuing explosive blast makes pinpoint accuracy unimportant (and impossible).
* FakeBalance: The Harbinger may be extremely expensive, far away in the tech tree and somewhat slow, but that hardly matters. It is basically a flying fortress that tanks even the strongest anti-air attacks as if they were nothing. Infantry divisions die like flies to its chain guns, and is even effective against light vehicles. The Harbinger has collider cannons that destroy armored units in usually no more than two hits - only the Giga Fortress could survive a second attack (Which is out of the question [[OhCrap if there is a second Harbinger]]), and even then the Giga Fortress needs to hit at least ''four'' times to down a Harbinger, so it loses one-on-one anyways. The best part of all of this? The Harbinger ''does not have to refuel''. It just stays in the air for as long as it wants, decimating anything of a different colour. The best way to defend against a Harbinger attack is preventing them from being built. While slow, it's still faster than the Kirov, so it's not much of a weakness, and it has decent range for both its guns so it doesn't have to get nearly as close to its targets as other air units.
* FlyingBrick: It's extremely durable, more so then the Kirov and less so then the Giga Fortress, and is faster than the other two heavy bombers, though aside from them it is the slowest aircraft.
* ForceAndFinesse: The Collider Cannon is the force and the chaingun is the finesse. The Proton Collider inflicts heavy damage and has a good area of a effect, though it has difficulty it smaller, faster targets. The chaingun is the finesse, it has pin point accuracy, allowing it to hit the smaller, faster targets like infantry and light vehicles that the cannon isn't suited for.
* GatlingGood: Its minigun.
* InstantWinCondition: Absolute hell pretty much comes to it if the player builds a lot of these units. Heaven forbid if the enemy has insufficient anti-air units and defenses.
* LightningBruiser: If comparing each of the faction's heavy bombardment air units is taken into consideration, the Harbinger Gunship is easily the fastest in terms of speed and mobility, with no less of the punishing firepower it provides along with its rugged durability to last long in heavily contested offensives. Without Advanced Aeronautics, the Harbinger is noticably less durable than the Kirov, but upgraded, it'll actually have ''more'' health than it's Soviet Counterpart, if still less than the monstrously excessive Giga Fortress.
* MightyGlacier: Subverted from its LightningBruiser status as it is the slowest aircraft in the Allied arsenal but it's ungodly tough (Only augmented by its self-repair feature and the Allies being able to enhance it with Advanced aeronautics), and capable of leveling entire bases on it's own.
* RegeneratingHealth: Harbingers self-repair, which can be speed up when near the vicinity of an Airfield.
* WaveMotionGun: Does as much damage as Kirov's bombs. The Kirov does deal more damage since the Harbringer's attack has a cooldown between salvos, but the Harbinger's collider cannon has decent range so it doesn't have fly directly over a target to hit it.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Cannot attack air units, and, with proper micro, most AntiAir units can kite it thanks to the collider cannon being inaccurate. Good luck taking it down, though.

!!!Dolphin
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Naval Support\\
'''Weapons''': Sonar Pulse\\
'''Trained at:''' Seaport]
Specially-trained dolphins are an integral part of the Allied Navy, which used them as scouts and cheap defense against enemy ships. The dolphin can also leap out of the water to avoid enemy attacks or bypass some obstacles.

* TheArtifact: Since the Soviets no longer use Giant Squids, the Dolphin is repurposed as a general naval scouting unit, being available immediately for production (as opposed to requiring a Battle Lab to unlock).
* AttackAnimal: Dolphins which are specially trained to assist the military.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Dolphin is a dedicated anti-naval unit and cannot attack land units and aircraft.
* FragileSpeedster: Very fast swimmers and excellent naval harassers but also very weak and not likely to survive a prolonged fight.
* HeroicDolphin: That can bring down submarines and large warships.
* JumpingFish: The Dolphin's secondary ability is to jump out of the water to avoid attacks from in the water. While the dolphin is in the air, it can be shot at by anti-air so you have to make sure that your opponent does not have any anti-air units in the area.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Dolphin has an amplified sonic weapon that fire rapidly and are effective against all type of ships and damage multiple targets at once.
* WeaponizedAnimal: Dolphins are equipped with sonar weaponry.

!!!Hydrofoil
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Anti-Air/ECM\\
'''Weapons''': 20mm AA Gun/Weapon Scrambler\\
'''Trained at:''' Seaport ]
-->"Hey man, you're scratching my boat!"

The Hydrofoil is the Allies' main anti-aircraft naval vessel, extremely fast, and highly effective against all aircraft.

* AntiAir: Hydrofoil is the main Allied anti-air naval unit.
* CoolBoat: A light skiff made for surveillance and defense, but carrying two nasty stings: a 20mm Icarus cannon and a weapon jamming system.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Lampshaded with the background information Hydrofoil, which has a weapon jammer device. The background states that Allied tank crewmen and fighter pilots asked why their units could not also be equipped with jammers, but engineers the world over have encountered unspecified technical difficulties designing vehicles with multiple weapons. ''Red Alert 3'' actually changed the whole model on this one, given that all units in that game have a special ability of some type, and for about half those units that ability is a [[DualModeUnit second weapon]]. The hydrofoil's primary is an anti-aircraft gun.
* DreadlockRasta: Their pilots all have carribean accents.
* PowerNullifier: By alternating its weapon systems, the Hydrofoil can use a jammer that is capable of preventing any unit or defensive structure from using their weapons and weapon-related special abilities, rendering them useless.

!!!Assault Destroyer
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Amphibious Assault\\
'''Weapons''': 120mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Seaport ]
-->"Assault Destroyer, proud to serve!"

The Assault Destroyer is a fearsome amphibious vehicle, capable of crushing smaller vehicles and absorbing large amounts of damage.

* CoolBoat: Can traverse in land and water, has average attack power, and its secondary ability is the "black hole armor", which draws all fire towards it and can soak up a lot of damage (more so than tier 3 ships).
* MasterOfNone: It struggles to deal with both Tier 2 anti-ship units and Tier 2 tanks, as its mediocre firepower compensates its good armor. It has the perk of being the only Tier 2 naval unit that can attack ground units, however.
* MilitaryMashUpMachine: The Assault Destroyer is an ''amphibious battleship''. Not a battleship-sized tank on treads, but a literal [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/cnc_gamepedia_en/images/2/21/Assault_Destroyer_land.png battleship on treads]].
* StoneWall: The Assault Destroyer is heavy, slow, and packs a not-terribly-impressive gun for its cost. However, it has impressive armor to begin with, and its special ability both increases its durability and redirects projectiles from nearby allied units to the destroyer, at the cost of not being able to shoot at all (it can, however, [[CarFu still crush things]], including many light vehicles). The Assault Destroyer's intended role is to draw in incoming fire to let the frailer, threatening Allied units deal damage with little risk.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: The Assault Destroyer is equipped with black hole armor, a magnetic force field that alters the trajectory of nearby enemy fire toward the ship. This allows the destroyer to absorb fire that would otherwise impact less durable friendly units. The armor only works on material weapons such as bullets, shells, and missiles. It has no effect on beam-type weaponry such as lasers and tesla-bolts.

!!!Aircraft Carrier
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Long-Range Attack\\
'''Weapons''': Sky Knight Attack Aircraft & Blackout Missile\\
'''Trained at:''' Seaport ]
-->"Aircraft Carrier leaving port!"

The Aircraft Carrier is a powerful naval vessel that launches squadrons of drones easily capable of destroying any enemy ground units and structures.

* CoolPlane: Its Sky Night fighters.
* CoolShip: A floating fortress capable of deploying squadrons of short-range Sky Knight fighter drones and devastating Blackout missiles that fry all electrics in the blast radius. While not as necessarily as powerful as Shogun Battleships or Dreadnoughts, the [[{{EMP}} Blackout Missile]] ability can give them an edge when engaging enemy fleets or sieging bases due to its [=EMP=] effect.
* DroneDeployer: The Aircraft Carrier doesn't attack by itself and serves as a platform for Sky Knight to bombard enemy units from afar.
* {{EMP}}: By launching a Blackout missile, Aircraft Carriers can create an EMP surge in a targeted area, temporarily shutting down all vehicles and structures in the area.
* MookMaker: The ship carries a contingent of five Sky Knight UCAV and capable of repairing, rearming and rebuilding the jets.
* SiegeEngines: Packing several UAV capable of delivering their payload over huge distances with deadly accuracy, the Aircraft Carrier is capable of leveling any enemy base to the ground with ease.

!!All Games
!!!Tesla Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Combat Support\\
'''Weapons''': Tesla Coils\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Like my new treads?!"

These are tanks that are fitted with powerful built-in tesla coils that can destroy units and structures easily. They are lightly armored and expensive.

* AwesomeButImpractical: In ''Red Alert 2'', they inflict a ton of damage against all surface targets, but their weak armor and cost keeps most people from using them.
* ChainLightning: Gains this after promoted to heroic level in ''Red Alert 2''.
* DemotedToExtra: The Tesla Tank goes from a regular buildable unit in ''Aftermath'' and ''Red Alert 2'', to a very scarsely seen unit that is almost never buildable in ''Red Alert 3''.
* {{EMP}}: In ''Red Alert 3'', they can switch to using EM Disruptors same as a Tesla Trooper.
* GlassCannon: In ''Red Alert 2'', their attack was quite strong, had a very short reload and ignores line of sight requirements, but two-three shots from the basic Soviet Rhino Tank will take it out.
* InformedAbility: The loading screen for Russia in ''Red Alert 2'' mentions that the Tesla Tank can shortcircuit vehicles, but it has no such ability in gameplay.
* LightningGun: Its dual Tesla Coils.
* MasterOfNone: Tesla Tank unfortunately falls into this trope in ''Red Alert 2'' - its weapon is effective against both infantry and vehicles, but not impressively so compared to the Rhino Tank workhorse or the Flak Track APC. The electric bolts can arc over walls though.
* NationalWeapon: The Tesla Tanks are Russia's unique vehicles in ''Red Alert 2''.
* PaletteSwap: Tesla Tanks first feature in the ''Counterstrike'' expansion pack to the first game, not buildable but usable in a specific mission. In that they are portrayed by Radar Jammers that just fire Tesla lightning. In the second ''Aftermath'' expansion pack where they become buildable their sprite at least gets a Tesla dome, but is still clearly based off a Radar Jammer (see above).
* PreAsskickingOneLiner:
-->"Free hookup."
-->"Prepare for rolling blackout."
* PungeonMaster: It just can't resist the electricity puns.
-->"That sparks my curiosity."

!!Red Alert 1
!!!Grenadier
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Base Assault\\
'''Weapons''': Grenades\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
The Grenadier has a longer range and more destructive power than regular infantry. In groups, Grenadiers are effective against heavily armored units and structures.

* ActionBomb: When one grenadier dies, he explodes and may injure other soldiers in his squad.
* BoringButPractical: Capable of superior [=AoE=] damage against infantry than minigunners and decent damage against structures and vehicles, the Grenader could also be built both early and cheap, allowing a Soviet player to just spam them to victory. Though the minigunners were cheaper, the grenadier could hit all of them with a single grenade, allowing him to wipe out many times his own number.
* SplashDamage: Their grenades can damage, even kill multiple infantry at once provided they're close together.

!!!Flamethrower Infantry
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Combat Support\\
'''Weapons''': Flamethrower\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
These soldiers are slower and more susceptible to damage than other infantry (due to the large tanks of flammable chemicals they carry). The Flame Soldier can decimate structures and infantry in seconds with his flamethrower.

* AreaOfEffect: Their flamers cover a wide area, making it easy to eliminate entire infantry squads.
* FireBreathingWeapon: Their flamethrower.
* FlamethrowerBackfire: Flamethrowers explode when shot, likely killing other nearby infantry. They can also explode in a chain reaction from other exploding flamethrowers.
* KillItWithFire: A lot of fire, as flamethrowers can make a lot of it.
* VideogameFlamethrowersSuck: They are remarkably more effective at their jobs, if still heavy on the friendly-fire. However, the cheaper and faster Grenadiers serve much the same purpose, and Flamethrowers inexplicably cannot be built until you've constructed a Tech Center and rendered the poor fellow completely obsolete.

!!!Shock Trooper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Heavy Combat\\
'''Weapons''': Portable Tesla Coil\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"Extra crispy!"

Armed with a mini Tesla Coil, Shock Troopers provide a significant amount of damage against tanks and infantry. However, their firing rate is very slow. Shock Troopers are also uncrushable.

* ArtEvolution: In Remastered, they have been redrawn as a gas mask trooper in a large trenchcoat wielding their guns, rather than their original palette swapped appearance (see below). This is also reflected in their icon, which has been updated to show their new look. They're the only infantry units without a unique sprite in the original game to be updated this way.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Shock troopers are another cool unit that is very expensive and can easily be overwhelmed by cheap basic infantry.
* BondOneLiner:
-->"Extra crispy!"
-->"Lights out."
* EarlyBirdCameo: Clearly one for the Tesla Trooper from ''Red Alert 2'', most noticeably in how they are similarly uncrushable despite there being no in-universe reason why that would be (they don't have the armoured suits of the Tesla Trooper due to their PaletteSwap sprite).
* HurricaneOfPuns: "Extra crispy!" "Fully charged!" "Shocking!"
* LightningGun: The Shock trooper is equipped with a portable Tesla coil, essentially a backpack generator with a lightning rod.
* PaletteSwap: Their sprite is the same as the Flamethrower infantry, but with their weapon coloured yellow instead of white.
* PungeonMaster: They just can't resist the electricity puns.

!!!Volkov
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Special Forces\\
'''Weapons''': Sniper Rifle, pistols, & C4\\
'''Trained at:''' N/A]
Volkov is a Soviet cyborg supersoldier appearing in Red Alert expansion packs, along with his trusty companion, Chitzkoi. He is the most powerful unit in the game (as of his Counterstrike appearance) and is the greatest commando in Stalin's army.

* ArmCannon: Depending on the level, he may use a silenced pistol instead.
* {{Cyborg}}: Volkov is cybernetically enhanced.
* OneManArmy: His first mission consists of wiping out dozens of Allied troops, buildings, tanks, and a battleship, finally ramming the point home by killing Tanya. Understandably, this worries the Allies...
* SniperRifle: His weapons in one of the Counterstrike mission.
* SuperSoldier: He have enough firepower and durability to take on a battleship (this being one of his missions!).
* SuperToughness: Volkov can withstand much more punishment than most units.
* TooPowerfulToLive: He's PurposelyOverpowered, as such he appears in very few missions.

!!!Chitzkoi
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': K-9\\
'''Role''': Anti-Infantry\\
'''Weapons''': Bite\\
'''Trained at:''' N/A]
Chitzkoi is Volkov's Cybernetic Dog. Like the normal attack dogs he is able to kill infantry very fast, but he is also more armored, can take much more damage, and can and jump very high.

* AttackAnimal: Specially trained attack dogs that are cybernetically enhanced.
* CripplingOverspecialization: OneHitKill to any infantry, but completely useless against tanks and building.
* {{Cyborg}}: Chitzkoi is cybernetically enhanced.
* EvilDetectingDog: Can detect spies that can fool any other unit and your base defenses.
* InASingleBound: Chitzkoi can leap great distances and even up cliffs in order to attack enemy units.
* OneHitKill: Any infantry attacked by Chitzkoi is killed instantly.
* SuperToughness: Chitzkoi can withstand much more punishment than most units.

!!!Heavy Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Armored Assault\\
'''Weapons''': 2 105mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
The basic tank of the Soviet Empire, this beast is equipped with twin 105mm cannons, giving it twice the punch of the nearest Allied equivalent, the Medium Tank. It sacrifices speed for this bonus, but the net result still makes it a formidable opponent on the battlefield.

* LightningGun: In one of the expansion missions a malfunctioning Chronosphere altered the weapons of units, causing its guns to discharge lightning instead.
* TankGoodness: Superior to almost all Allied armor, the Heavy Tank is incredibly durable, fast, powerful and cost-friendly for its class, outperforming Allied's heaviest combat vehicles, the Light Tank and the Medium Tank, in a one-on-one match.

!!!Anti-personnel Minelayer
A fast Soviet vehicle used it to lay anti-personnel mines. Its speed makes it ideal for crushing infantry, but it has no weapons to directly combat enemy units.

* LandMineGoesClick: Its mines packed less explosives than the Allied anti-tank counterpart, but it can detect and target both infantry and vehicles that run over it.
* SplashDamage: Its mine can destroy entire groups of infantry with one explosion.
* SupportPartyMember: Has no weapons to directly combat enemy units but capable of laying mines kill approaching enemy infantry.

!!!V2 Rocket
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Long-Range Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': V2 Rocket\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
The V2 Launcher can destroy most buildings with just two rockets. Factor in its incredible range, and it is easy to see why the Allies fear this weapons platform. Its drawbacks are its light armor, long reload time, and inability to hit fast-moving targets.

* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: Its missile is in a fixed position, so the whole vehicle must turn in order to engage a target.
* GlassCannon: Their missile shots can wipe out a medium tank, not to mention its splash damage can kill infantry nearby, but also one of the rare units that can be damaged by Technicians' absurdly useless pistols.
* LongRangeFighter: V2 can outrange most base defenses, but are weak in a direct fight with their slow rate of fire and weak armour.
* SiegeEngines: Can launch missiles at the enemy from quite a big distance.
* SplashDamage: The missile has a large explosion radius, so can take out multiple infantry units.

!!!Mammoth Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Heavy Assault\\
'''Weapons''': 2 120mm Cannon & Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
The largest landbased weapons platform, the Mammoth Tank can take and dish out a lot of punishment. Its twin cannons are unmatched in power on land, and its missiles make it effective against infantry.

* AwesomeButImpractical: They are at a major disadvantage with their slow speed and lack of impressive weaponry for their cost. The metagame favors BoringButPractical main battle tanks over this super tank due to far better mobility for the former. Their successor, the Apocalypse Tank drastically improved upon their firepower.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: When attack infantry and aircraft.
* MightyGlacier: The slowest and toughest unit in the game.
* RegeneratingHealth: Mammoth Tanks self-repair slowly, up to 50% health.
* TankGoodness: The biggest and the slowest tank in the game, the Mammoth is nonetheless one of the most dangerous units, as it can self-heal to 50% of its health and features double barreled cannons with Mammoth tusk rockets complementing them.

!!!MAD Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Suicide Unit\\
'''Weapons''': Seismic Wave Generator\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
The MAD Tank (Mutually Assured Destruction, a real abbreviation used for the nuclear deterrent on both sides during the Cold War) is a fierce weapon can destroy any base if given the chance. By deploying this tank near any structure, it will build up energy and explode resulting in about 44% damage to all buildings in the surrounding area.

* ActionBomb: MAD Tank sole purpose is to detonate itself, unleashes its powerful seismic waves in all directions. The MAD Tank also is a special case, in that the pilot actually gets out before it explodes, and the MAD tank only harms vehicles and buildings, not infantry.
* AreaOfEffect: The effects of the explosion do not vary: any vehicles, ships, and aircraft (even flying aircraft - probably due to engine limitations) in a large area around the MAD Tank (approximately the same area as a nuclear blast, a 10-tile radius) take damage equivalent to 45% of their maximum hitpoints, while structures in the same area take 40% damage. As a result, provided no time for significant repairs between detonations, just three MAD Tanks can destroy absolutely any non-infantry unit or structure outright.
* AwesomeButImpractical: It had to deploy for several seconds, more than enough time for any enemy units nearby to simply flee the vicinity, not to mention it cost quite a lot to deploy in the first place. Also, MAD Tanks can be destroyed by enemy units during their detonation sequence. And, unlike the Demolition Truck, destorying a MAD Tank during its detonation will cancel the sequence and render it harmless.
** Another strategy is to send a M.A.D. tank towards an enemy base or attack force, and just as it reaches firing range, use the Iron Curtain to keep it from being prematurely destroyed since it's too slow to reach a target on its own armor. Place it in the prime center of devastation and deploy it if it's still under the Curtain, it won't actually explode and damage everything until right after the effect fades, giving the enemy no chance to actually counter it.
* DelayedExplosion: Once deployed, the MAD Tank needs a few seconds to actually go off. If you're the enemy, throw everything you have at the MAD Tank to destroy it before it explodes.
* FunWithAcronyms: '''M'''utually '''A'''ssured '''D'''estruction Tank.
* MightyGlacier: Being built on the same chassis as the Mammoth Tank will do that, although it's both slower and not quite as tough.
* SuicideAttack: Activating and detonating the MAD Tank destroys the unit itself. And, it's also rather ''expensive'' for a suicide unit.

!!!Yak
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Low-Altitude Attack\\
'''Weapons''': Twin Chainguns\\
'''Trained at:''' Airfield]
A lightly armored plane that shoots machine guns in a straight line to attack. It is effective against base structures and infantry. These aircraft need to return to airfields to reload.

* AntiInfantry: Yak is a plane that strafed targets with machine guns and earned the nickname "Infantry Eraser".
* InSeriesNickname: The Infantry Eraser.
* StandardHollywoodStrafingProcedure: Yaks attacked like this. Players eventually learned to just target a spot right behind the target, so the Yak did more damage while "walking" its shots at it. Against massed infantry, though, the nickname "Infantry Eraser" is well earned, and it also chews up buildings and light vehicles with ease.

!!![=MiG=]
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Fast Attack\\
'''Weapons''': Heat-Seeking Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' Airfield]
This fast-attack craft carries a limited number of powerful and accurate missiles. Used in hitand-run tactics, the [=MiG=] can remove armored craft before they can become a threat.

* CoolPlane: The [=MiG=] is a swept wing fighter-bomber that mounts numerous missiles. [=MiGs=] are equipped with at least 3 undercarriage mount missiles, which are optimized for use against armoured targets. The [=MiG=]'s reload extremely quickly and fly to and from their targets with equal speed, allowing savvy player to make strike after strike against an opponent.
* SuperPrototype: In mission "The Legacy Of Tesla", The Allies stole vital data on the design of the Soviet [=MiG=] and began using the information to build their own prototype. The prototype was designed to drop nuclear payloads and in addition it could take a lot of punishment so it was very unlikely to get shot down; the prototype was superior to the standard Soviet version.

!!!Spy Plane
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Aerial Reconnaissance\\

'''Trained at:''' Helipad]
Large and armored, the Hind uses its highvelocity Vulcan chain-gun to tear apart enemy units and structure. Equipped with a large ammo supply, the Hind will follow its target for quite some time, all the while wearing away at its defenses.

* GatlingGood: The Hind's main weapon is a chaingun, capable of mowing down infantry at an alarming rate and is surprisingly effective against vehicles and buildings.

!!!Submarine
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Anti-Shipping\\
'''Weapons''': Torpedoes\\
'''Trained at:''' Sub Pen]
Silent and stealthy, Submarines can attack ships from afar. Subs must surface to fire, giving away their position, and opening themselves up to any nearby units that can hit them. The sub is completely useless against any land or air units.

* CripplingOverSpecialization: All it's good for is attacking Allied ships, and it's less cost effective as a ship killer than the Destroyer.
* InvisibilityFlicker: Never mind that in Real Life, the first submarines did the perfect opposite: As they weren't equipped for prolonged periods underwater, they usually stayed afloat out of battle.
* NukeEm: In the Playstation version of ''Red Alert 1'', there is a mission where submarine fleets are authorized to be armed with nuclear torpedoes. This greatly increase their firepower but with a risk of getting caught in the blast zone. This measure is taken against Allied's cruiser deployment.

!!!Missile Submarine
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Long-Range Shore Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': Ballistic Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' Sub Pen]
Available in the Red Alert expansion, the missile sub is the counterpart to the Allied Cruiser. It can fire far and its missiles are effective against enemy structures.

* AntiAir: Its missile has the reach to hit aircraft, allowing the Missile Submarine to serve as both an artillery and an anti-air unit.
* LongRangeFighter: Like Allied Cruiser, the Missile Submarine can bombard enemy bases from extremely far away but do not carry any defensive measures and can do nothing but submerging and fleeing when confronted by smaller ships.
* MightyGlacier: Tied for the slowest unit in the game, but difficult to bring down and can launch powerful missiles from incredible distances to annihilate targets with barely any chance of retaliation.
* SiegeEngines: Serves this role for the Soviet due to its long range and effectiveness against structures.
* StealthyColossus: This is kind of the point of being a big submarine.

!!Red Alert 2
!!!Conscript
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\

'''Weapons''': PPSh-41\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"For Mother Russia!"

The counterpart to the Allied GI. Not able to deploy into a fortified position, Conscripts are cheaper to build than the Allied GI.

* CannonFodder: Against Tesla Coils and Psychic Towers or other psychic units they serve as a very useful, expendable meat shield for your tanks. Send them ahead as a bullet magnet: its better for a few conscripts to fry or become mind-controlled, than for your tank crews to suffer such a fate.
* {{Conscription}}: They were mildly patriotic but mostly unwilling basic soldiers.
* GasMaskMooks: Even though the game doesn't feature any chemical warfare until Yuri's Revenge.
* IWantMyMommy: One of the quotes when the Conscripts are attacked.
%%* ShouldersOfDoom
* StartingUnits: For the Soviets and a very useful bullet shield for important units.
* CoolGuns/SubmachineGuns: Conscripts are issued with the PPSh, the drum magazines distinctive even with the isometric, sprite-based view.
* WeHaveReserves: It's established early on the Soviets are not philanthropists. This trope is invoked by name in the first level of ''Red Alert 2'' Soviet campaign when you build your first Conscript.
--->'''Lt. Zofia:''' Pay no heed to casualties Comrade Commander, for every Conscript that dies in this glorious crusade, there are a thousand more eager to replace him.
* ZergRush: Conscripts are pretty much designed for this tactic; Very weak, very cheap, easily spammable.

!!!Flak Trooper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Anti-Air\\

'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"At least I have job..."

This advanced infantry unit is useful against both ground and air targets. The Flak Trooper attacks with explosive flak, allowing him to damage aircraft as well as seriously wound enemy infanty units.

* AntiAir: They serve as basic anti-air infantry for the Soviets. Oddly, when the Flak Trooper is placed in an IFV he cannot target aircraft.
* TheEeyore: While other units have CasualDangerDialog or assert their strength and dominance, these guys either complain that their gun is heavy or that the work at least pays.
* HuskyRusskie: They have a deeper accent than most of their countrymen. So Husky Russkie to Russkies, then?
* SplashDamage: Their shells can damage multiple units at once provided they're close together.

A codename used for Soviet demolitions experts, a Crazy Ivan attacks by placing dynamite around the map. Virtually anything can be wired to explode, from enemy structures to individual Conscripts even wandering cows. Once placed on enemies or neutral units and structures, the bombs will count down to detonation and then explode.

* ActionBomb: When packed into Allied [=IFVs=], they turn them into a mini nuke truck. They also explode on death. Crazy Ivan can also attach time-bomb to virtually every unit, including friendly (or mind-controlled), thus it possible to make ''any unit'' to be a Suicide Bomber.
* BaldOfEvil: His in-game unit icon.
* DelayedExplosion: It takes a bomb a few seconds after being planted to explode.
* DieChairDie: They will plant their bombs on everything they can see.
* EvilLaugh: One of their idle quotes.
* EyepatchOfPower: His in-game unit icon, it's unknown if they all have it in-game.
* MadBomber:
** Ivans are a bit too enthusiastic to rid themselves of bombs. Full of one-liners to match. "I lost a bomb... do you have it?", "Here, hold this!"
** To put it in perspective, the Crazy Ivan is the only unit in the game that has the pretty descriptive [=AttackCursorOnFriendlies=] attribute in the game files. (While the force fire command, Ctrl by default, allows you to do this, [=AttackCursorOnFriendlies=] doesn't require the modifier key to be held down)
* ShoutOut: Crazy Ivan itself is a naval designation referring to a particular submarine maneuver. As Red Alert is a parody of the Cold War, it is likely the developers appropriated the phrase to suit their needs.
* TimeBomb: Crazy Ivan bombs looks like large chunks of dynamite with flickering fuse, accompanied with ticking sound. It takes short time before they explode, and with right timing they can be defused by nearby Engineer.
* WhyAmITicking: They can cause a case of this to any unit or building they touch, whether it's the enemy, neutral or your own. (Those poor, poor mind-controlled cows!)

!!!Tesla Trooper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Heavy Combat/Base Defense\\
'''Weapons''': Portable Tesla Coil\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"Commencing shock therapy."

This specialized infantry unit attacks with a powerful electrical charge generated from his portable Tesla coil. Tesla Troopers are valuable for a number of reasons, not the least of which is their immunity to being steam-rolled by enemy tanks. In times of emergency power shortages, Tesla Troopers can charge up the Tesla Coils defending your base to keep them operating against enemy units. Charging up a Tesla Coil will also increase its range and power.

* ArmCannon: A miniaturized Tesla Coil.
* ChainLightning: Gains this after promoted to heroic level.
* LargeHam: ''RRRUBBER SHOES IN MOTION!''
* LightningGun: [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment A miniaturized Tesla Coil]].
* OneWayVisor: They can see your face but you can't see theirs.
* PoweredArmor: Tesla Troopers wear a suit of insulative armour that protects from tank treads but for some reason not from dog bites.

!!!Psi-Corps Trooper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Psychic Operations\\
'''Weapons''': Mind Control\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"The mind is quicker than the eye."

These are the first Yuri clones that are able to be used in the missions. They have the ability to mind control units and also deploy to use a psychic blast attack to kill infantry.

* AreaOfEffect: Can release a Psychic blast which kills all nearby enemy infantry units.
* CharmPerson: Psi-Corps Troopers are capable of mind controlling enemy units.
* CloningBlues: In missions "Chrono Storm" and in multiplayer, this unit is referred to as simply Yuri, implying that later members of this corps were in fact Yuri's clones.
* PsychicPowers: Mostly MindControl type, though it also utilizes some form of MindOverMatter for its anti-infantry psi-blast ability.

!!!Yuri Prime
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Psychic Operations\\
'''Weapons''': Mind Control & Psychic Blast\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]

If a Spy manages to infiltrate a Soviet Battle Lab while his commander owns both a Soviet Barracks and a Soviet Battle Lab, they gain the ability to control none other than Yuri himself.

While he's technically the same unit as his ''Yuri's Revenge'' incarnation, they function in a very different way. This Yuri Prime can't hover over water or mind-control buildings, but he can mind-control units from an absurd distance.

This Yuri Prime is only available in ''Red Alert 2'', and was replaced by a new Yuri Prime unit in ''Yuri's Revenge'', serving as Yuri's commando unit.

* AreaOfEffect: Can release a Psychic blast which kills all nearby enemy infantry units.
* AwesomeYetImpractical: The ability to mind-control units from really far away sounds great. Unfortunately, Yuri Prime is difficult to obtain as you need to infiltrate a Soviet Battle Lab while also owning a Soviet Barracks and a Soviet Battle Lab. This forces you to either capture a Barracks and a Battle Lab of the opposing faction (no need to say this is very difficult), or use mind control to get an enemy Spy and send him to an enemy Soviet Battle Lab. All of this is outright impossible in a 1v1 game as a Soviet player (Allied players can try to capture the enemy Soviet buildings). Yuri Prime is also the only unit in ''Red Alert 2'' that can't be mass-produced - for his amazing range, he can still be defeated by swarms of enemy units.
* CharmPerson: Yuri Prime are capable of mind controlling enemy units and most enemy structures.
* HeroUnit: Only one Yuri Prime can be built at a time (although a second one appears with a Cloning Vats). This is notable as both Tanya and regular Yuri can be mass-produced in ''Red Alert 2''.
* PowerFloats: He levitates instead of walk unlike regular Psi-Corps Troopers. He can't cross over water, though.
* PsychicPowers: Just like a regular Psi-Corps Trooper, Yuri Prime can mind-control units as well as unleash a psychic blast to kill infantry in an area. He differs from regular Psi-Corps Troopers in his ridiculous mind-control range (twice as that of ''Grand Cannons''; this Yuri Prime can mind-control ''Snipers'' before they get into firing range) as well as a psychic blast with a lower cooldown.

!!!Boris
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Special Forces/Airstrike Spotting\\
'''Weapons''': AKM Assault Rifle\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"Boris has arrived!"

Boris is highly effective against infantry, thanks to his rapid rate of fire. Rather than using C4 charges to eliminate structures, Boris is able to call in an airstrike of [=MiG=] fighters to bombard any structure he targets with his laser designator.

* AKA47: he is stated to be armed with an AK-47. However, since the third game suffers from yet another case of AlternateUniverse, it is possible that a similar assault rifle was developed by someone else 2 years earlier than in our universe.
* BadassBoast
-->"Boris has arrived!"
-->"There's nothing I cannot do!"
-->"Fools! You can't touch me!"
* BondOneLiner
-->"Eat lead!"
-->"Who is next?"
* CripplingOverspecialization: Aversion. he was allowed to call in an airstrike to whatever targets his AK-47 couldn't kill (namely, buildings) which made him alot more effective than Tanya, as he did not need to close the distance, though his air strikes take time to occur.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: When powered up, he can killing heavy tanks in two or three bursts of his AK-47.
* DevelopersForesight: There are additional lines of in-game dialogue if Boris is killed in the first Soviet mission of the expansion, as he later reappears thanks to the time travel scheme. He finds the welcome odd, since from his point of view he was never gone in the first place.
-->"Have I been gone somewhere, Comrade Zofia?"
* HeroUnit: Replaces Yuri as the Soviets' hero unit in ''Yuri's Revenge''.
* OneManArmy: Immune to mind control, regenerates health, kills tanks and infantry alike with his gun and calls in Death from Above on buildings from quite far away.
* OneNameOnly: Similarly to other hero units in ''Red Alert 2'', Boris's surname is not known.

!!!Desolator
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': \\
'''Weapons''': \\
'''Trained at:''' ]
-->"There goes the neighborhood!"

Iraqi scientists have created the Desolator, a soldier that creates large areas of scorched, impassable earth. When deployed, the Desolator uses a radiation cannon to irradiate the ground around him, making it completely impassable to both infantry and light vehicles. They are also equipped with radiation suits to protect themselves from radiation.

* AreaOfEffect: Their secondary fire, that in large numbers, desolators can create a contamination zone more deadly than a nuclear missiles, and destroy nearly anything that comes through in a matter of moments.
* AxCrazy: They're incredibly unstable, and a lot of their lines are spoken with a tone of barely restrained glee.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Infantry attacked by Desolators melt into a puddle of residue in seconds.
* GutturalGrowler: Desolator speaks in a raspy, tired voice.
* HazmatSuit: He wears a protective suit to keep him safe from the radiation.
* ILoveNuclearPower: Their Rad Cannons shoot radiation.
* LyricalDissonance: Desolator subverts a cheery Beatles song title for one of his taunts, referencing his radioactive fire weapon: "HERE COMES THE SUN!"
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: You don't want to be near something called a "desolator".
* NationalWeapon: The Desolators are Iraq's unique infantry.
* NoSell: Desolators are completely immune to radiation, including from other Desolators.
* SecondaryFire: When deployed, Desolators can irradiate their entire surroundings and kill many more infantry and even other ground units like tanks.
* SuicideAttack: Desolators can be combined with captured Allied IFV's to make "poor man's Demolition Trucks"; essentially a smaller version of the Libyan Demolition Truck's blast damage and radius, but which will result in radioactive fallout, damaging infantry that passes within (only in ''Red Alert 2'' - in ''Yuri's Revenge'', this is changed to a more powerful rad-cannon).
* SuperSoldier: They are heavy armoured elite soldiers armed with radioactive cannons which meltdown infantry and light vehicles with ease, their secondary is the ability to contaminate an entire area with nuclear radiation powerful enough to keep killing units even after the desolators have moved out.
* SuperToughness: A heroic desolator can survive a nuke.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Whenever you think that just shooting the enemy with bullets is too good for them, use the Desolator instead to melt them into a puddle on the ground.
* WalkingWasteland: When they activate their [=AoE=] radiation ability, any non-Desolator ground unit in it takes damage. One of them won't do that much damage, but ~5 Desolators activating the ability at the same area can create a no-man's land which will kill anything that walks into it within moments.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Desolators use radiation weapons. As such, they cannot damage robots, making them easy prey to Terror Drones.
* YouShallNotPass: Desolators can create a contamination zone deadlier than a nuclear missiles, and destroy nearly anything that comes through in a matter of moments.

!!!Terrorist
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Advanced Combat Support\\
'''Weapons''': Rad-Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"Here's a hot papaya!"

The Cubans have developed the Terrorist unit to attack enemy bases. The Terrorist carries C4 charges taped to his body and kamikazes enemies, blowing them up quickly and efficiently

* ActionBomb: The purpose of the Terrorist is to detonate the explosives they wear, taking enemies along with them.
* GratuitousSpanish
-->"Vamos Muchachos!"
-->"Adios amigos!"
* NationalWeapon: The Terrorists are Cuba's unique infantry.
* WesternTerrorists: Of Soviet-supported DirtyCommunists variant.

!!!Chrono Ivan
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Demolition Support\\
'''Weapons''': Dynamite\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"Don't play with matches!"

If a Spy manages to infiltrate a Soviet Battle Lab (an Allied Battle Lab while owning a Soviet Barracks in the base game), Chrono Ivans can be trained in the barracks (Soviet Barracks only in the base games). These improved Crazy Ivans are equipped with the same chrono shift technology that allows Chrono Legionnaires to teleport across the battlefield.

* ActionBomb: When packed into Allied [=IFVs=], they turn them into a mini nuke truck. Chrono Ivans can also attach time-bomb to virtually every unit, including friendly (or mind-controlled), thus it possible to make ''any unit'' to be a Suicide Bomber.
* AwesomeYetImpractical: The chrono shifting ability allows Chrono Ivans to surprise enemies by setting bombs where they cannot expect, compared to the slow Crazy Ivan. However, to train Chrono Ivans, you need to take a Spy to infiltrate a Soviet Battle Lab, a highly-protected building. It's significantly more difficult in the base game, however, as you need to infiltrate an Allied Battle Lab and have a Soviet Barracks - without crates, you need to be a Soviet player, somehow gain a Spy and infiltrate a Allied Battle Lab, something practically impossible to achieve without at least two enemies or a careless Allied enemy.
* BaldOfEvil: His in-game unit icon.
* CompositeCharacter: A combination between the Crazy Ivan's ability to set bombs on anything with the Chrono Legionnaire's method of transportation.
* DelayedExplosion: It takes a bomb a few seconds after being planted to explode.
* DieChairDie: They will plant their bombs on everything they can see.
* EvilLaugh: One of their idle quotes.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Crazy Ivans that chrono shift.
* EyepatchOfPower: His in-game unit icon, it's unknown if they all have it in-game.
* MadBomber:
** Ivans are a bit too enthusiastic to rid themselves of bombs. Full of one-liners to match. "I lost a bomb... do you have it?", "Here, hold this!"
** To put it in perspective, the Chrono Ivan is the only unit in the game that has the pretty descriptive [=AttackCursorOnFriendlies=] attribute in the game files. (While the force fire command, Ctrl by default, allows you to do this, [=AttackCursorOnFriendlies=] doesn't require the modifier key to be held down)
* {{Teleportation}}: Their only form of movement, they can't actually walk to a location.
* TimeBomb: Chrono Ivan bombs looks like large chunks of dynamite with flickering fuse, accompanied with ticking sound. It takes short time before they explode, and with right timing they can be defused by nearby Engineer.
* WhyAmITicking: They can cause a case of this to any unit or building they touch, whether it's the enemy, neutral or your own. (Those poor, poor mind-controlled cows!)

!!!Rhino Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Armored Assault\\
'''Weapons''': 120mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"We will bury them!"

The Rhino Tank is the Soviet equivalent to the Grizzly, while being slower they have much more firepower, armor and slightly longer range.

* BadassBoast: The quote above.
* {{BFG}}: A 120 mm U-5TS smoothbore gun.
* LightningBruiser: Despite the fact that it was slower than its two counterparts, it was still quite speedy for a heavy tank, being able to mobilize quickly from one location to another.
* ShoutOut: The aforementioned quote is a reference to [[UsefulNotes/NikitaKhrushchev Khrushchev's]] threat at the United Nations in RealLife.
* StartingUnits: For Soviet. A basic but unremarkable Tier 1 battle tank.
* TankGoodness: The Rhino tanks are very useful in early PVP (player versus player) online games due to its cheap production cost and medium-high power aganist vehicles and structures. The Rhino tanks are especially useful in a Soviet vs Allied PVP match: during very early gameplay, the player controlling the Soviet faction could easily build few of these tanks and defeat the Allied player if these tanks are focused on destroying enemy structures; as the Allied player spent much time in early game to develop his/her base. This tactic is called 'rushes' and are usually used by Soviet players early in game.

!!!Flak Track
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Armored Transport/Anti-Air\\
'''Weapons''': Flak Gun\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Armoured personnel carrier ready!"

This light Soviet vehicle is designed to defend against both air- and light ground-assaults. It attacks by expelling flak, much like the Flak Trooper. This vehicle can also operate as a troop transport, carrying infantry units over-ground. It is decent versus infantry but useless against armored vehicles.

* AntiAir: Serves as the Soviet anti-air vehicle.
* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: The Flak Track moves around quickly but lacks the ability to transform like the IFV. Instead, the lightly-armored Flak Track can transport up to five soldiers inside, which is useful for capturing enemy bases. Leave the Flak Track behind as your main tanks destroy base defenses and walls. After that, send in the Flak Track with five engineers to capture the base.
* SplashDamage: Their shells can damage multiple units at once provided they're close together.
* TakingYouWithMe: The venerable strategy of loading one up with Terrorists or Crazy Ivans and charging buildings with it, like a demolition truck except faster and cheaper.

!!!V3 Rocket
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Long-Range Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': V3 Rocket\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Sending air mail!"

The V3 Rocket Launcher is the closest thing the Soviet army has to artillery. While physically weak and easily destroyed, the V3 is capable of tremendous devastation. It launches very powerful, long-range rockets that can cause huge amounts of damage to whatever they hit, though they can be shot down. A great support weapon, the V3 Rocket Launcher is too vulnerable to lead an assault.

* AIBreaker: V3 Rocket Launchers do much the same thing like Prism Tank, though they are much more vulnerable against enemy units. On the downside their slow rockets can be shot down by anti-air defenses, but on the plus side they arc over obstacles unlike Prism Tank beams.
* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: Its missile is in a fixed position, so the whole vehicle must turn in order to engage a target.
* GlassCannon: Of all the main siege units, the V3 has by far the longest range and damage per shot. An elite V3 can obliterate most structures in one to four shots, and mass groups of them can overwhelm all but the most overtly paranoid of base defenses, especially since they are the only primary land based siege unit capable of firing upon the Grand Cannon from outside its range. However, it has little ability to protect itself at close range and with no real armor can be destroyed very quickly by pretty much anything that can fire on it.
* LongRangeFighter: Even moreso than most artillery. Can fire from a long distance, useless in direct fights. Lampshade by few of V3 quotes.
-->"Let's keep up distance"
-->"Not too close, please!"
* PainfullySlowProjectile: Their missiles are slow and can easily be shot down by AA defenses.
* SiegeEngines: Can launch missiles at the enemy from quite a big distance.
* SplashDamage: The missile has a large explosion radius, so can take out multiple infantry units.

!!!Terror Drone
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Drone\\
'''Role''': Anti-Vehicle/Anti-Infantry\\
'''Weapons''': Bladed Limbs\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
These small, mechanical spiders scuttle across the battlefield looking for enemy vehicles. When a vehicle comes within range, the Terror Drone leaps into action, jumping inside the vehicle and dismantling it from the inside. Only a Service Depot or Outpost can remove a Terror Drone once it attacks.

* AchillesHeel: Defensive structures, as they can't attack buildings.
* AttackDrone: Even more advanced then their Allied counterpart, the Robot Tank, due to their individual, self sufficient AI systems (Robot tanks require an outside signal to function) and complex motion controls (Robot Tanks merely hovered about, while Terror Drones could quickly coordinate on multiple limbs.) Can OneHitKill infantry and slowly tear apart vehicles with no effort on its part.
* FragileSpeedster: They move faster than a player is likely to be able to move the cursor across the screen, but any precise hits destroy them. They are exceptionally weak against Gattling Tanks, which easily destroy Terror Drones the moment they get into their firing range.
* ImmuneToMindControl: Courtesy of being a robot. Terror Drones can be [[{{Pun}} a terror]] for Yuri commanders as Yuri lacks Service Depots to reliably repair infected vehicles, and the Terror Drone's mechanical nature means Yuri Clones cannot deal with them with psychic blasts, unlike Attack Dogs. Gattling Tanks and Gattling Cannons can destroy Terror Drones quickly, and Slave Miners are immune to Terror Drones, but that's it.
* MechaMooks: Completely automated and do not require any kind of remote control.
* OneHitKill: Any infantry bitten by a Terror Drone is instantly killed. Notably, and unlike Attack Dogs, Terror Drones can also kill Brutes.
* SpiderTank: A small machine that kills infantry in one hit, and takes down tanks in seconds.

!!!War Miner
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Resource Gathering\\
'''Weapons''': Heavy Machine Gun\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Building Soviet economy!"

The War Miner is the basic Soviet miner, which are more effective than than the Chrono miner but lack their speed. It has a powerful Heavy machinegun mounted to defend itself against any land attack.

* CoolGuns/MachineGuns: That when elite, is upgraded into a powerful auto-cannon which is effective against tanks, infantry, and structures, and can easily ward off a squadron of [=GIs=] or Initiates, especially if it finds the firepower, armour and speed upgrade crates.
* RegeneratingHealth: War Miner self-repair slowly, up to 50% health.
* StoneWall: Though mainly a resource harvester, is armed with a small machine gun, but has enough armor to defeat tanks on a one on one battle.
* WorkerUnit: Its main use is to collect ore and gem but in a pinch it could serve as a heavily armored anti-infantry vehicle thanks to its gun turret.

!!!Apocalypse Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Heavy Assault\\
'''Weapons''': 2 120mm Cannon & Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"It is day of judgement!"

The ultimate Soviet tank, the Apocalypse Assault Tank has a massive gun. A huge vehicle, the Apocalypse can take large amounts of damage before succumbing. This vehicle can be used to attack both ground and air targets.

* ArtisticLicenseNuclearPhysics: When leveled up, it fires nuclear ammunition, causing small mushroom clouds about the size of a tank but not necessarily killing anything in the vicinity. Infantry are notorious for surviving direct hits from tank shells. This is about as realistic as Tesla bombs dropped from the veteran Kirov airship that produce an electrical explosion.
* AwesomeButImpractical: They're extremely powerful and can do at least decent amount of damage against anything, but most Soviet players found that its better to try and win the game early, especially against Allied players since the Allies' late game tech will usually win against Apocalypse Tanks, unless the player manages to amass an army of them, which is nearly unstoppable.
* BadassBaritone: In ''Yuri's Revenge'', when it got a new voice rather than just using the same quotes as the Rhino tank.
* BadassBoast
-->"The instrument of doom"
-->"It is day of judgement!"
-->"Armageddon is here"
-->"It will soon be a wasteland"
-->"The Apocalypse has begun"
* {{BFG}}: The biggest tank in the game, and it has ''two'' barrels.
* CripplingOverspecialization: For some reason, and unlike the Mammoth Tank it's based on, the Apocalypse Tank cannot use its anti-air rockets against infantry, relying on (Comparatively) weak tank shells. When promoted to Elite, however, it can OneHitKill most infantry with four shells.
* MasterOfAll: Apocalypse Tank starts off as a monster with regeneration, powerful twin cannons and medium strength anti-aircraft missiles. Every time an Apocalypse Tank gains a rank - its damage per shot, rate of fire and health level goes up. If it gets enough kills to reach Heroic, it gets a boost to its regeneration and its cannons change so that they do a four-round burst which causes a small AreaOfEffect explosion that does devastating damage against infantry (so now it'll mop the floor with infantry) and its anti-aircraft missiles will now be a heavy threat to aircraft instead of being somewhat of a hazard.
* MightyGlacier: It's the slowest vehicle in the game, as well as the most powerful. Outlasting an Apocalypse Tank in 1vs1 will require micromanaging. One of their movement quotes in ''Yuri's Revenge'' is even "Be patient."
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: You don't want to be near a tank that named "Apocalypse".
* RegeneratingHealth: Can self-repair to full health.
* SuperToughness: The second most-armored ground vehicle in the game, the first being the Battle Fortress.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: It's basically the Mammoth Tank from the original Red Alert with a different name. The only notably design difference on it are the rocket launchers.
* TakingYouWithMe: When destroyed, the Apocalypse Tank causes a very small explosion. Most units are completely unaffected by it, but it ''does'' reduce a Terror Drone's health by half, preventing them from infecting an entire Apocalypse Tank columns unless there are twice as many drones as there are tanks. No other tank in the game has this trait.
* TankGoodness: The Apocalypse tank was the most powerful tank in the in-game. It possessed a pair of powerful cannons effective against both vehicles and structures, and was capable of eliminating light vehicles with a single volley. The Apocalypse also featured dual Mammoth Tusk missile launchers, effective against enemy aircraft. Lt. Zofia described them as "war in a can".
* WeaksauceWeakness: [[MightyGlacier Being so slow]], it is easy prey to mind control units and Terror Drones, as it cannot escape from the former and it cannot reach a Service Depot quickly enough to get rid of the latter. Its extremely slow speed, [[CripplingOverspecialization coupled by the relatively low power of its tank shells against infantry]], means that [[ZergRush overwhelming it with infantry with anti-tank weapons]] before they can be run over does work. The fact most anti-tank infantry cannot be run over in some way or form, even more.

!!!Demolition Truck
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Suicide Attack\\
'''Weapons''': Nuclear Device\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Let's make a delivery!"

The Libyan Demolition Truck is a suicide vehicle designed to create maximum mayhem and carnage in the enemy base. This truck carries a small nuclear charge. When the truck is attacked, the charge detonates, destroying everything in a wide radius.

* ActionBomb: Rare case of Game Breaker lampshaded in-game: Demolition Truck + Iron Curtain combo. Let's recount: the Demolition Truck is a suicide unit carrying a mini-nuke that explodes if the unit is killed or if the unit is commanded to attack something, but it's very frail and can set off prematurely without much issue. The Iron Curtain is a minor superweapon that makes the targeted nine units invincible and immune to mind-control for a short time. Do the math. At least the original Red Alert had the courtesy of causing iron curtain to wear off very quickly on demo trucks... Lampshaded in Yuri's Revenge in the Soviet campaign where one mission requires you to either use this tactic or spam a metric fuckton of V3 Launchers to crack the enemy base. On the other hand, if an Allied commander was to obtain demolition trucks, a Chronosphere could be used to transport up to 9 trucks right inside an enemy's base.
* BattleCry:
-->"AH KAKAKAKAKAKA!!!"
* GlassCannon: Its nuclear weapons can take out large numbers of enemy infantry and seriously damage well armored vehicles and structures but one or two bullets was enough to make the truck explode prematurely.
* MolotovTruck: They contain ''nukes'', which tend to get blown up before getting near their targets.
* NationalWeapon: The Demolition Trucks are Libya's unique vehicle.
* OneWayTrip: It has this trope as one of its lines. Justified because it's a nuke on wheels, which if used right, could cause nuclear fallout on a part of an enemy base.
* SuicideAttack: It explodes upon contact with the target.

!!!Kirov Airship
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Aerial Assault\\
'''Weapons''': Bombs\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Kirov reporting"

These huge Soviet zeppelins are a true force to contend with in the air. Able to withstand tremendous amounts of damage, a Kirov attacks with massive payloads of heavy bombs. These can devastate an area. Slow speed is the main weakness of this unit.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Typically this against human players (the AI is too stupid to build significant air defenses), as the Kirov's construction is announced to the enemies and its slow speed means they'll be able to prepare for them before they arrive unless a War Factory is built right on the doorstep.
* CoolAirship: These huge Soviet zeppelins are a true force to contend with in the air. Able to withstand tremendous amounts of damage, a Kirov attacks with massive payloads of heavy bombs that can devastate an area.
* FlyingBrick: Sufficient to say they can take much, much more punishment than the average aircraft.
* InstantDeathRadius: Being under a Kirov and being dead are roughly the same thing.
* MightyGlacier: Is slow enough that infantry can outrun it; fortunately, it can obliterate an enemy base single-handedly.
%%* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* OffModel: The Kirov Airships seen in the ''Red Alert 2'' intro lack the shark imagery.
* ShockAndAwe: It throws Tesla Bombs when it reaches heroic rank. Those bombs cause ''electric'' explosions.
%%* SplashDamage
* TakingYouWithMe: You think you're safe when you shoot down that Kirov? Think again: the wreckage will fall to the ground (possibly on whatever killed it) and explode, dealing heavy damage.
* ThreateningShark: Shark imagery is painted on it.
* ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld: Cutscenes and promo pictures show them looming ominously over US Cities. This is [[HandWave explained]] as an alternative approach to aircraft due to the Allies forbidding the Soviets from building a strong conventional air force. While the Soviets do get additional aircraft in Yuri's Revenge, this takes place after the main storyline, giving the Soviets more time to build fast-strike [=MIGs=].

!!!Siege Chopper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Close Air Support\\
'''Weapons''': Machine Gun & 160mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Load up the belt!"

With the creation of the Siege Chopper, the Soviets now have quick strike capabilities from the air. When flying, this vehicle is mobile and effective against enemy infantry units. When deployed, the Siege Chopper lands and reveals a massive weapon capable of quickly destroying buildings and stationary targets from long range.

* {{BFG}}: A 160mm canon when deploy, which can kill any units and can raze buildings, even Allied Prism Tanks are no match with this big gun.
* BigNo:
-->"OH NOOOOO!!"
* BondOneLiner:
-->"Give'em some pepper"
-->"Time for the hellstorm!"
* DualModeUnit: It goes from a helicopter armed with Vulcan cannon to a fixed artillery gun with a powerful, long range attack with SplashDamage.
* SiegeEngines: A Siege Chopper's real strength comes from its ability to deploy to either bombard static defenses from well outside retaliatory range or to act as static defenses themselves. Park a group of them outside an enemy base to deny ground unit movement, just watch out for inevitable aerial attacks.

!!!Typhoon Attack Submarine
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Anti-Shipping\\
'''Weapons''': Torpedoes\\
'''Trained at:''' Naval Shipyard]
-->"Good under pressure"

This naval vessel attacks from below the waves, launching powerful torpedoes at its foes. Not capable of attacking land-based targets, the Typhoon is nonetheless a powerful unit for naval conflicts, and in large numbers conflicts and, in large numbers, can take complete control of waterways. Typhoon Attack Subs are stealth units and do not appear on enemy radar.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Unlike the Destroyer, they cannot attack ground units.
%%* CoolBoat

!!!Sea Scorpion
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Anti-Air Support\\
'''Weapons''': Flak Gun\\
'''Trained at:''' Naval Shipyard]
-->"You want some flak, eh?!"

Anti-air flak boat. Unlike the Aegis, the Sea Scorpion is a bit lighter in armor as it is built for speed, and the advantage to hit other land and sea unit's unlike the Aegis which is only able to target Air.

* AntiAir: Their primary function is to protect naval units from aerial attacks.
* CoolBoat: Unlike Aegis cruiser of Allies, Sea Scorpion is smaller, cheaper, faster, and deals less damage, but makes up for that with the ability to attack ground and (non-submerged) sea targets as well as those in the air.
* PowerupLetdown: For some reason, Elite Sea Scorpions deal less damage than Veteran Sea Scorpions.
* SplashDamage: Their shells can damage multiple units at once provided they're close together.

!!!Dreadnought
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Long-Range Shore Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': V3 Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' Naval Shipyard]
-->"Cruise and fire!"

This large ship is useful in attacking both enemy ships and ground installations. It hits with powerful long-range missiles, making it difficult for enemy units to approach within range to destroy it.

* LongRangeFighter: Dreadnoughts have the longest range, but their missiles fire so slowly that they can't do anything in a direct fight with smaller ships like Destroyers or Typhoons.
* MightyGlacier: Dreadnoughts hit hard and are durable, but are very sluggish due to their mass, making them vulnerable to other ships or enemy aircraft.
* {{Roboteching}}: When they were facing away from their target. It would make more sense if they tracked...
* SiegeEngines: Serves this role for the Soviet due to its long range and effectiveness against structures.

!!!Giant Squid
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Anti-Shipping\\
'''Weapons''': Tentacles\\
'''Trained at:''' Naval Shipyard]
Captured and trained by Soviet scientists, these huge creatures are capable of grasping enemy ships and crushing them with their huge, powerful tentacles. Giant Squids are stealth units and do not appear on enemy radar.

* AttackAnimal: These squids have been specially trained in military maneuvers.
* BeastOfBattle: They're mind controlled and specifically trained squid.
* CombatTentacles: These creatures would attack a ship from beneath by wrapping their tentacles around it and crushing it.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Even though they are mind-controlled units, when Yuri defects in ''Yuri's Revenge'', Giant Squids remain part of the Soviet arsenal. It is implied that they are simply tamed now.
* GiantSquid: ''Giant squid that can drag enemy ships down to the briny depths''.
* NoSell: Like all beasts, squid are immune to mind control.
* WeaksauceWeakness: They aren't too adept at fighting underwater units. They can only deal direct damage without stunning them, making them rather vulnerable to not only Dolphins, but various submarines.

!!Red Alert 3
!!!War Bear
-->"Mrrroooo"

Born in captivity, trained in combat and reconnaissance, and brought to heel with Tesla shock devices, many enemies have fallen to the sharpened claws, teeth and technologically amplified roars of the Soviet War Bear. The War Bear project had its origins as a terror weapon, and although initially there were problems, most of these were sorted out over time. The War Bear is heavily armoured, and quite resistant to attack, although completely useless against enemy vehicles and structures. In groups, these Bears can dispatch far larger groups of infantry, and if one gets amongst the infantry, the effective use of their Roar can help them dispatch many infantry in a matter of seconds, with no retaliation.

* AngryGuardDog: Being the Soviet equivalent to the Attack Dog, they are excellent scouts and able to maul most infantry to death.
* AttackAnimal: A specially trained war bear.
* BearsAreBadNews: Worse. Armoured attack bears with ''paralyzing sonic roars''.
** In ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'', one of the Allied Spy's unit responses is "I don't like bears...", which is justified by the Soviet War Bear's ability to sniff out and maul spies.
*** On the DVD extras the actors cannot believe it. Watch as George Takei tries to get his head around it ("Battle Bears? B E A R S?") or Autumn Reeser laughing as she asks for an explanation.
** In the challenge mode of the ''Uprising'' expansion, the mission where you unlock the War Bear's is called [[Series/TheColbertReport The Number One Threat to America]], and features giant bears that can ''smash tanks''. The bears are still present on the skirmish of the map, where it's entirely possible for the AI to kite the bears ''into their base'' and be defeated in minutes.
* BeastOfBattle: Like attack dogs, war bears were raised since they were cubs to be ferocious and obedient guard animals. With their size and strength, they can easily kill enemy infantry.
* CripplingOverspecialization: They are able to instantly kill other bears/dogs and unarmoured human infantry, but are utterly useless against everything else.
* [[EvilDetectingDog Evil Detecting Bear]]: Can detect spies that can fool any other unit and your base defenses.
* MakeMeWannaShout: War Bear have stun abilities based on their roar with the help of amplifier.
* OneHitKill: Any infantry attacked by a bear is killed instantly.
* SeriesMascot: of ''Red Alert 3''. They might not be much good against armored vehicles, but they came to represent the all-out-crazy nature of [=RA3=]'s unit design, and even appear on the box art. (Natasha the sniper is front and centre, though.)
* WeaponizedAnimal: War Bears are equipped with sonic amplifiers that can paralyze enemy infantry.

!!!Conscript
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Ground Combat\\
'''Weapons''': ADK-45 assault rifle & Molotov Cocktail\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"For Mother Russia!!!"

Poorly trained, yet highly enthusiastic due to mental conditioning, healthy propaganda, and a prevalence of alcoholic beverages, Conscripts compose the bulk of the Soviet armies. They are very cheap to field in battle, clothed in nothing more than furs for protection, and given mostly used equipment. In some cases, Conscripts have been trained on the spot and sent into the fray. They have the highest casualty rates out of the entire Soviet military, and any veterans that make it back are generally put under surveillance. A single Conscript can often be described as useless. They play a useful supporting role, however, and are useful in clearing garrisons and drawing fire from more important units, if only for a few seconds.

* AKA47: They are armed with ADK-45 assault rifles, which look an awful lot like AK-47s. [[JustifiedTrope Makes sense]], as this is an AlternateUniverse. It is quite plausible that Mikhail Kalashnikov was still involved (note the A for Avtomat, while D and K stand for designer's surnames), although he got into armament design after being wounded in World War Two - he had been a tank driver. The placard with a bayonet also depicts a barrel attachment characteristic of later AK models.
* TheAlcoholic: If you examine a Conscript (shifted in defense forces) sitting behind the machine gun in a sentry gun, and the structure is not selected, they will snuggle down and will be drinking an unknown drink, possibly Vodka, or maybe his Molotov cocktail.
* AntiStructure: Their Molotov Cocktails are capable of clearing out garrisoned buildings.
* CoolGuns/AssaultRifles: Conscripts were armed with ADK-45 assault rifle, a decent burst-fire weapon that is best used in mass fire.
* CannonFodder: The epitome of it, they cost half as much as Peacekeeper and need more than a 2 to 1 advantage to beat one.
* {{Conscription}}: They became incredibly jingoistic morons, eager to throw themselves at anything declared an enemy. They will eagerly attack an Apocalypse Tank while yelling, "Field promotion, here I come!"
* CossackDance: They'll occassionally do this as an idle animation.
* {{Irony}}: Depite being the worst of the three basic infantry, their anti-garrison weapon is ironically the best out of all of them, due to both being a ranged weapon and not causing them to die unlike the Peacekeepers Riot Shield or the Imperial Warriors Banzai Charge.
* LampshadeHanging: In the mission March of the Red Army, which takes place near Lake Geneva, a Conscript can be heard commenting on unrealistic aspects of the mission, namely the appearance of Dolphins and Aircraft Carriers in the middle of the lake.
* MolotovCocktail: Conscripts can switch between AK's and Molotovs to alternate between anti-infantry and anti-garrison warfare.
* NotSoBadAssLongcoat: They may have longcoats, but they are definitely ''not'' badass.
* OneHitKill: Their molotovs will kill a shielded Peacekeeper in one shot.
* ThePollyanna: They basically are the cannon fodder of the Soviet forces, and are not even good at that since it is ridiculously easy to kill them, yet they will always salute you with phrases as "I make Premier proud!" and "Haven't we won yet?", now that's to have spirit.
** Oh, and yeah, they are also {{Keet}}s and [[TheDitz Ditzes]], I mean, you won't expect someone to say "We march to victory!" when facing an entire batallion of far better enemy soldiers or "They have television in there?" when garrisoning a building in the middle of a warzone.
* StealthBasedMission: The first part of the seventh Soviet mission has you sneak into the Japanese Emperors palace with a single Conscript and a War Bear.
* ZergRush: They're much weaker than Peacekeepers or Imperial Warriors, but they're much cheaper too. Throw enough of them at an attack force and they'll eventually win. Most of 'em will be dead, but they'll win.

!!!Flak Trooper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Anti Vehicle & Anti Air\\
'''Weapons''': Flak Cannon & Magnetic Mines\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"So this is what they call community service."

Their Flak cannon is quite effective against most targets, and Flak Troopers are relatively inexpensive to train and equip and so find prevalent usage among Soviet forces. With the Flak Trooper, a fine anti-armor unit is found, capable of pummeling even the strongest of enemy vehicles, whether on the ground, or in the air. Due to their weaponry, however, they are slow and ineffective against infantry, meaning that a single rifleman or attack animal can deal significant damage against a group of Flak Troopers.

* AntiVehicle: Their role is to pull double duty as Anti-Air and Anti-Tank units with their heavy cannons.
* {{BFG}}: Their flak cannons.
* BoxedCrook: Unlike their ''Red Alert 2'' counterparts, this generation of Flak troopers are convicts, forced to carry out the remainder of their sentence as a heavily armed flak-cannon operator instead of rotting in a gulag (Soviet forced labor camp).
* HellHolePrison: They're forced under pain of death to spend their days lugging heavy cannons around, fighting tanks and giant robots... [[PlaceWorseThanDeath but it's still better than being back in the gulag.]]
* PrisonsAreGymnasiums: It is implied that the reason why the convicts are the ones to carry the flak cannons is that the work in the Gulag has made them strong enough to carry them.
* StickyBomb: Their Magnetic Mines that can be placed on vehicles and buildings. When in this mode, if the Flak Trooper is run over, these mines will detonate, damaging the vehicle.
* TheOnlyBeliever: Inverted. They have no loyalty towards the Soviet Union or it's communist ideology, and nearly all of their lines make it clear how apathetic they are to the war and frustrated at their situation. One of their lines even has them threatening the commander.
* TradingBarsForStripes: Flak Troopers are convicted criminals still in their chains. They'll [[StopPokingMe comment]] that their current situation "beats being in the Gulag".

!!!Tesla Trooper
-->"Here's your electric bill!"
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Advanced Anti-Infantry & Anti-Armor\\
'''Weapons''': Tesla Discharge Device & EMP Discharger\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]

With their heavy armour and powerful Tesla coil weapons, Soviet Tesla Troopers form a specialized but elite cadre within the armed forces. Tesla Troopers can destroy either vehicles or structures with ease, and electrocute infantry in one shot, and can resist anti-infantry weapons better than the average Conscript. The Tesla Trooper may be the most expensive infantry aside from the Shinobi, but it is still a mighty unit, capable of dealing with infantry and vehicles alike, as well as being able to withstand severe amounts of punishment. It is best to deal with these monstrosities from the air, or from long range, to avoid being fried.

* ArmCannon: The Tesla Trooper is armed with a pair of Tesla guns built directly into the arms of their armor, which are effective against both infantry and vehicles.
* {{EMP}}: They are also equipped with electromagnetic disruptors, allowing them to disable all enemy vehicles within a short radius. However, activating the EM Disruptor also renders them immobile and unable to attack.
* LightningGun: A miniaturized Tesla Coil.
* MightyGlacier: Due to their heavy mechanical suits, Tesla troopers are less mobile than most other infantry.
* OneHitKill: Can kill most infantry in one shot.
* PoweredArmor: That allow them to immune to the biting teeth of Attack Dogs and War Bears, but strangely not ninja shurikens.
* PungeonMaster: They rival the Cryo Legionnaires in this department.

!!!Desolator Trooper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Advanced Anti-Infantry\\
'''Weapons''': Deathspray Hose & Splattershot Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"It all comes out in the wash!"

Being an offshoot of Tesla suit technology, the Desolator Trooper is armed with sprayed concoction that kills infantry directly, which can also clear garrisons

* AxCrazy: UpToEleven. They make their already unstable Red Alert 2 predecessors look completely calm and rational by comparison, as a lot of their lines related to attacking and moving to attack their opponent are about either killing their enemy or expressing their intent to make them suffer in a shaky, giddy tone of voice, with the worst offender out of all of them being them outright angrily complaining that the enemy looks too happy. This has lead to their fellow Soviet soldiers staying far away from them.
* DamageIncreasingDebuff: Their Splattershot Cannon causes heavily armored vehicles and structures to temporarily become more susceptible to damage.
* EliteMooks: They're extremely durable and require a Battle Lab to produce. These guys can go toe to toe with most commandos.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: You don't want to be near something called a "Desolator Trooper".
* PoisonedWeapons: The Desolator Trooper is a deadly unit against infantry, splashing his victims with toxins. If the enemy sends in vehicles in response, the Desolator can use his Splattershot Gun to make its armour more vulnerable to Toxins.
* PoweredArmor: It doubles as life support for their unlucky pilots.
* RuleOfCool: Essentially the reason they exist, due to being terminally ill maniacs trapped in heavily armored life support units equipped with highly corrosive toxins that they shoot from sprayers that look like gas dispensers or cannons that fire globs of the stuff.
* SociopathicSoldier: In fact, the creators of Desolator troopers were also their first victims.
* SuperSoldier: They are portrayed as [[EqualOpportunityEvil terminally ill]] [[SociopathicSoldier sadists]] in [[PoweredArmor armored]] [[ManInTheMachine life-support suits]] capable of [[MadeOfIron withstanding insane amounts of damage and pain]], they use as weapons sprayers which look like gas dispensers, that release vile jets of chemical waste capable to meltdown any kind of infantry, including the female heroes, in the most horrific way, their secondary attack launches an corrosive core which slowdown units and make vehicles and structures highly vulnerable to their primary weapons, [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential sounds cool eh?]]
* WalkingWasteland: Emits toxic gasses wherever they walk.
--> ''Nothing will grow there!''

!!!Ore Collector
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Collector\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory and Ore Refinery]
-->"Ready for the Collection!"

Heavily armoured beasts of burden, the Ore Collectors aren't fancy when it comes to finding and transporting ore to processing, but do get the job done.

* AmphibiousAutomobile: Much like their cousins the Sputnik exploration vehicles, ore collectors may transition to an aquatic mode on contact with water at least one meter deep.
* BadassBureaucrat: ''"[[MundaneMadeAwesome Ready the paperwork!]]"''
* RegeneratingHealth: By activating its full body ceramic armor, the Collector will also auto-repair itself.
* ShutUpAndSaveMe: "''They're trying to stop me! '''DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!'''''"
* StoneWall: Unlike the Empire's Ore Collector, which can fend off enemies with its machine gun, or the Allied Prospector, which has no defensive abilities whatsoever, the Soviet Ore Collector can simply cover itself with armor to withstand more hits.
* {{Workaholic}}: They display this attitude if asked to do anything other than ore collecting:
-->''Shouldn't we be working?''
-->''Is this necessary?''
-->''Laziness will not be tolerated!''
-->''And what about the collection?''
-->''A '''detour?!'''''
* WorkerUnit: Gathers ore and gem to facilitate the player's economy.

!!!Sputnik
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Base Expansion\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory and Naval Yard]

-->"I'm all packed up!"

The smaller, cheaper answer to the MCV, the Sputnik spun out of a failed orbital probe project. Now it specializes in deploying listening posts that can be upgraded into fully realized forward bases.

* AmphibiousAutomobile: Sputnik can traverse land and water with equal ease.
* BaseOnWheels: The Sputnik can deploy into a Outpost, allowing for base expansion beyond the original base radius. This process however, is permanent, and cannot be reverted once performed.
* CloudCuckoolander: You get the impression that they aren't aware that they're in a ''war''.
--> (Moving to Land) ''Ahh, no more bath time?''
* ShoutOut: Their tendency to say "Very nice!" is similar to the titular character of Film/{{Borat}}'s tendency to say the same thing.

!!!Terror Drone
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Robotic\\
'''Role''': Anti-Vehicle, Anti Infantry\\
'''Weapons''': Cutting Device, Electric EMP discharge\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

A nasty, spider-like robot that attacks infantry and vehicles with equal viciousness. It likes to bore in and dismantle targets from the inside, but can also disable vehicles with its stasis ray.

* AchillesHeel: Defense structures, as they can't attack buildings. Especially anti-infantry defenses, which tear them apart in seconds.
* AttackDrone: Can OneHitKill infantry and slowly tear apart vehicles with no effort on its part.
* FragileSpeedster: While insanely quick, they have little in the way of armour and easily succumb to any kind of opposition that has proper anti-infantry weapon. Not as fragile as in ''Red Alert 2'' though.
* MechaMooks: Completely automated and do not require any kind of remote control (the fluff hints that they're being controlled via brainwaves from a distance).
* OneHitKill: Any infantry bitten by a Terror Drone is instantly killed.
* TheParalyzer: The Terror Drone can employ a stasis ray to stop ground vehicles from moving and prevent landed aircraft from taking-off. Except Aircraft Carrier, however, the target can still fight back.
* SpiderTank: A small machine that kills infantry in one hit, and takes down tanks in seconds. It also has the ability to swim in water and therefore the ability to attack ships.

!!!Sickle
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Anti-Infantry\\
'''Weapons''': 12.7mm PKX Machine guns x3\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Let's mow some people down!"

The Sickle was originally designed for crowd control, but now fulfills its anti-infantry purpose in the Soviet military, utilising its three gun turrets on multiple targets at any time. The Sickle can leap over cliffs or buildings, and causes damage to infantry if it lands on them.

* BottomlessMagazines:
--> "Come on, we have lots of ammo."
* CarFu: While the Sickles mainly use their machine guns to take out infantry, they can also use their Flea Leap ability to land on and crush them.
* DirtyCoward
--> "''I'm taking care of '''me!'''''"
* FragileSpeedster: It is notably fast, meaning it can catch up with almost any infantry. Being an IFV on legs, it will always be beaten up by tough bruisers such as tanks and other anti-vehicle units.
* InASingleBound: The Sickle's hydraulic systems can be overloaded to enable a "flea jump" which can be used to leap over obstacles, onto bluffs, hills and can even be used to jump straight into a horde of men, causing severe damage.
* {{Jerkass}}
--> "''Aim for the injured!''"
* MagikarpPower: They aren't that good during the late game once the better units are available, and they're essentially rendered redundant by many units. Despite this, heroic Sickles are nothing to scoff at, as they wind up becoming [[GlassCannon Glass Cannons]] who can easily tear even armor units to shreds in mere seconds, especially when they're in groups.
* MoreDakka: It comes with three independently targeting machine guns. Granted, it can only bring two to bear on any one target, means it can engage up to 2 enemies at once, mostly from the rear and front but the third will happily shoot at anything that crosses its field of fire.
* SpiderTank: Walk on four legs.

!!!Bullfrog
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': APC, Anti-Air\\
'''Weapons''': PVS 5-7 Tucha 23mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory and Naval Yard]
-->"Bullfrog Transport open for business!"

Amphibious transports with an unusual troop deployment system; infantry are launched out of a fairly accurate man-cannon, allowing for fast and strategic enemy engagements supported by the 'frog's AA gun.

* AbnormalAmmo: The Bullfrog can only deploy the soldiers within it by launching them out of a cannon on its back. Much fun can be derived from [[DeathFromAbove bombarding]] the enemy with [[BearsAreBadNews bears. Armoured War Bears]].
* AmphibiousAutomobile: Bullfrog can traverse land and water with equal ease.
* AntiAir: Serves as cheap and effective anti-air vehicle for the Soviet.
* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: One particularly hilarious example. The Bullfrog is an otherwise-normal APC armed with an anti-air gun Its only outstanding feature is its method of delivery: instead of unloading the troops, it fires them out of a cannon on its back. So we've got a scenario in which you can parachute [[BearsAreBadNews armored war bears]] onto a group of infantry. [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential And the bears have a stun ability and instant-kill attacks.]]
** The downside is that it's suicide to unload the troops in an area where the enemy has anti-air defenses.
* CatapultToGlory: Its cannon allows it to shoot troops over considerable distances, bypassing enemy defenses.
* CompositeCharacter: It is a combination of the Flak Track and Sea Scorpion with the Man Cannon added.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Since its primary weapon is designed only for anti-air defense, the Bullfrog has no answer to enemy ground combatants.
* FastballSpecial: "Bullfrog" can launches infantry with its human cannonball launchers. (They are give parachutes for soft landings.)
* HumanCannonball: The only way out of the Bullfrog. Though potrayed more realistically since the infantry descends with parachutes after being fired from the cannon. Other than people, it can also fire bears and terror drones for extra fun.
* ImprobableWeapon: Bullfrog's Man Cannon, which is not a weapon but a means of transport.
* ItsRainingMen: Infantry launched by its Man Cannon will automatically parachute down from the apex of the launch.
* SplashDamage: Can do splash damage to nearby enemy aircraft units.


!!!Reaper
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Anti-Surface, Anti-Air\\
'''Weapons''': PKX 40 Grenade Launcher x3, Katyusha Missile Launcher\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

-->"Let's see if this thing works..."

The predecessor of the Sickle, the Reaper features three independently-articulated grenade launchers and a swivel-mounted rocket launcher is mounted to the top.

* InASingleBound: Much like the Sickle, the Reaper is capable of leaping long distances. Unlike the Sickle, the Reaper only gets one shot at this before its legs inevitably break, turning the thing into a makeshift defensive turret. Being much heavier than Sickles, Reapers can crush almost anything they land on, making the benefits of the proto-jump potentially outweigh the consequences... and making it the ultimate MCV killer.
* JackOfAllStats: Because it is available in relatively short supply and packs so much firepower, the Reaper is fairly expensive to produce, even more so than a Soviet main battle tank. While most Soviet forces are considered to be specialized and efficient, the Reaper can be seen as something of a jack-of-all-stats, but while being a jack-of-all-stats, it is very effective in doing its job.
* MythologyGag: The Reaper's design is a scaled-down version of the Centurion Siege Crawler, a DummiedOut unit from both Red Alert 2 and 3.
* CoolGuns/RocketsMissilesAndGrenadeLaunchers: It's loaded down with so many explosive weapons. Its three fast-firing grenade launchers and top-mounted rocket rack are almost excessive in their stopping power, and let the Reaper attack both surface and air targets.
* SpiderTank: Walks on four legs.
* SuperPrototype: Of the Sickle. So heavy, in fact, that their legs break beneath them if they jump, which can crush almost anything they land on, making the benefits of the jump potentially outweigh the consequences... and making it the ultimate MCV killer.

!!!Hammer Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Main Battle Tank\\
'''Weapons''': 85mm Autoloading Cannon, TS-1 Leech Beam, Stolen Weapon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Who's looking for a good pounding?"

Long the symbol of Soviet might, this bruiser's 85mm smoothbore gun packs a brutal punch, while the Leech Beam leaches enemy health and weapon strength to boost the Hammer's own aggressive ends.

* ButtMonkey: The Hammer Tank instructor during the tutorial is the one who is shot at the most by the other instructors (Allied Guardian Tank and Rising Sun Tsunami Tank) in annoyance for dumb questions, getting on their nerves, etc. Also, it's usually the Soviet army that the Tsunami Tank's "training robots" are modeled after. In the last tutorial mission, however, [[spoiler: he causes a FunnyBackgroundEvent where he slinks away and comes back as an ''Apocalypse Tank'', causing the Tsunami Tank, his main bully, to do a DoubleTake.]]
* CannibalismSuperpower: If a Hammer Tank destroys an enemy vehicle with its Leech Beam, it gains said enemy's gun as a second turret.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Played with it, since its special ability is an absorption beam which in addition of draining the HP of the enemy while repairing itself, but is also able to steal the weapon of enemy vehicles destroyed while it is targetting them, effectively giving the Hammer Tank a second primary weapon, and possibly an ability to engage air targets.
* DoubleEntendre: "Who needs a good pounding?"
* LifeDrain: Its Leech Beam can be used to siphon metal armor off enemy vehicles/buildings which will immediately be applied to the Hammer Tank for extra health. If the Hammer Tank manages to kill an enemy vehicle using the beam (Or if the enemy under the effects of the Leech Beam dies), its weapon will be mounted onto the Hammer Tank's auxiliary weapon hardpoint.
* TankGoodness: The Hammer Tank deals somewhat less damage and is slower than the Guardian, its Allied equivalent, but makes up for this with better armour, a somewhat higher rate of fire and much greater versatility thanks to the Leech Beam, which can grant it anti-aircraft or anti-infantry capabilities; something the Guardian lacks.
** Alternatively, it could just [[CannibalismSuperPower steal the gun off a Guardian and use it alongside its' standard gun]]

!!!Grinder
-->"We here to crush!"

The Grinder is reportedly a huge, slow tank equipped with devastating tungsten-coated grinders which can grind...anything, from infantry to structures.

* AmphibiousAutomobile: The Grinder incorporates spare parts from Soviet ore collectors, lending it amphibious capability in spite of its massive girth.
* CloseRangeCombatant: They can only attack at point blank range, due to not having any on-board weapons aside from their namesake.
* {{Expy}}: Of Yuri's Brutes. They have similar personalities; a crazed manchild who looks on crushing their enemies as "playing" (to the point where the Grinder [[MythologyGag has several of the Brute's quotes]]) as well as their role as an all-purpose ground unit destroyer. They also resemble an upgunned Lasher Tank, given that both have a frontal grinder.
* FakeBalance: They are supposedly balanced by the fact they only have a melee attack, but that weakness has little value when the Grinder has an ability to boost its speed, deals high damage, is significantly more durable than the Hammer Tank, disables the target while crushing them [[LifeDrain and are healed while doing so]].
* LifeDrain: The Grinder repairs itself while crushing an enemy.
* LightningBruiser: Very fast, high damage, and the same health bar as an Apocalypse Tank.
* NitroBoost: The Grinder's special ability allows it rush enemy forces by temporary burst of speed that gives the Grinder an opportunity to chase and crush them.
* PsychopathicManchild: Gives this impression from its quotes.
--> ''Who wants to play?''
--> ''We here to '''crush!'''''
--> ''Go tank! Go tank!''
--> ''He go bye-bye...''
--> ''Here I coo-oome!''
--> ''Make him look funny.''
--> ''I break all my toys!''

!!!V4 Rocket Launcher
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Long Range Artillery\\
'''Weapons''': V4 Rockets\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]

-->"Hurry, before we end up like the V3!!"

A mobile rocket launcher, the V4 fires huge, long range ballistic missiles that can demolish nearly any target, or splinter into multiple mortar shells for area damage. The V4 must be stationary to fire, making it a poor frontline weapon.

* AmazonBrigade: All V4 pilot are female.
* BoringButPractical: Only relative to the (still useful) Allied Athena Cannon & Imperial Waveforce Artillery. It doesn't shoot energy like the Waveforce, a Satelite LASER like the Athenas, or have a DeflectorShield like the Athena, but it's less expensive than both at $1200 (vs $1400 & $1800 respectively), has cluster rockets that have much better splash damage than both rival artillery pieces, and their cruise missiles are not vulnerable to anti-air like the V3 was. Their main drawback is the travel time of the missiles, making them vulnerable to more mobile vehicles and even infantry. However, they shine the best when it comes to bypassing or even getting rid of an enemy's defenses, due to them specializing in attacking from a distance.
* CompositeCharacter: It is a combination of the missile trajectory of the V-3 and the V-2's characteristic of enemy AA being unable to shoot down the launched missile.
* GlassCannon: Their missiles can be fired from afar and can quickly destroy buildings, but don't expect them to survive in a fight against tanks.
* LongRangeFighter: Even moreso than most artillery. Can fire from a long distance, useless in direct fights.
* RecursiveAmmo: Its optional firing mode are to launch a missile armed with cluster warheads, that splits up in mid-flight upon reentry, causing widespread damage.
* SiegeEngines: Can launch V4 missiles at the enemy from quite a big distance.
* SplashDamage: Its missile splash damage can hit many enemies in the area.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Downplayed. They aren't overly specialized, but they're a godsend when it comes to getting rid of a heavily fortified enemy base from a distance, especially when they're able to hide behind the indestructible natural walls of a map.

!!!Apocalypse Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Heavy Tank\\
'''Weapons''': 125mm Drakon Cannon x2, Shchucka Magnetic Harpoon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Armageddon is here!"

The Soviet harbinger of death. The massive (and slow) Apocalypse would live up to its name thanks to the two 125mm cannons alone, but then added a magnetic grapple to catch faster adversaries and drag them under its chain treads.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Less pronounced than the Mammoth Tank, but in high level matches, the BoringButPractical Rhino Tank or Hammer Tank is prefered due to lower tech requirements and faster speed, while still having respectable cannons. The Apocalypse also has to contend with devastating top secret protocols in ''Red Alert 3'' -- such as cryo freezing -- that can easily negate the cost efficiency of this super tank.
* BadassBoast: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu4csNpMKrA Literally every sentence they utter.]]
-->''The instrument of '''doom'''.''
-->''It is day of judgement!''
-->''We '''cannot''' be stopped.''
-->''Armaggeddon is here.''
-->''It will soon be a '''wasteland.'''''
-->''The Apocalypse '''cannot''' be stopped.''
* CarFu: Takes this to new levels, being able to crush smaller tanks. Its secondary weapon is a Magnetic Harpoon that pulls helpless tanks towards it.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Unlike ''Red Alert 2'', the Apocalypse Tank has lost its anti-aircraft missiles in favor of a big magnet that pulls enemy vehicles towards its circular saw. Basically, the tank has been redesigned to be more effective against vehicles, something it was already good at, while leaving it vulnerable against airstrikes.
* EvilLaugh
--> ''Muahahahaha!!!''
* EvilSoundsDeep: They all have deep, soulless sounding voices.
* HuskyRusskie: Given their dialogue the Apocalypse Tank would seem to be of this type.
* MightyGlacier: They even tell the player to be patient.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: You don't want to be near a tank that named "Apocalypse".
* RegeneratingHealth: Can self-repair.
* {{Sadist}}: They genuinely ENJOY killing and destroying, as they'll sadistically chuckle and mock their enemies when not making intimidating boasts.
* SuperToughness: Much heavier armor than its predecessor.
* TankGoodness: The Apocalypse Tank is the most powerful tank in the world. Its dual cannons already make it a force to be reckoned with, and its Magnetic Grapple can lure its targets towards its grinder, or makes the Tank approach structures and shreds them.
* TookALevelInBadass: PlayedWith in ''Uprising''. The buff it got to its Magnetic Harpoon, which now disables the targeted unit, is '''very''' powerful, making the Apocalypse Tank capable of beating any kind of ground enemy, no matter how powerful, if in equal numbers. However, this is the same expansion that brought extremely powerful units such as the Harbinger, the Pacifier [=FAV=] and the Giga Fortress, which demolish Apocalypse Tanks from a safe distance (Or are outright impossible to target). As a result, a much more powerful Apocalypse Tank ends up being completely OvershadowedByAwesome by the time it can be built.
* TractorBeam: Its special ability, a beam that pulls enemy vehicles into its front grinder. It can also be used on buildings, but instead of pulling the building apart, it will pull itself towards the building and rip it apart, brick by brick.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe:
--> ''You cannot escape!''
--> ''Get over here!''
--> ''Your turn!''

!!!Mortar Cycle
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Mechanized Infantry\\
'''Role''': Light Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': Portable Mortar, Molotov Cocktail\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]

-->"Mortar Cycle looking good!"

The Mortar Cycle is an anti-structure and anti-infantry support motorbike, which is a old Krasny Motory messenger motorbike repurposed by the Soviet Resistance in ''Uprising''.

* BoringButPractical: They only cost 600 credits and only require a Barracks and War Factory. However, they are armed with Molotov Cocktails and Mortar Cannons, and they move quickly. Bases do not stand up for long against them.
* CoolBike: The Mortar Cycle is a fast vehicle optimized for hit and run tactics. They are equipped with either mortar that superb in long range engagement and supplies of Molotov cocktails to handle building clearing.
* DoNotRunWithAGun: Mortar Cycles can attack and move when using molotovs, but not with mortars.
* {{Expy}}: Of the Rocket Buggy, both are stupidly fast Artillery vehicles, but while the Buggy is balanced by its relatively high position on the tech tree and long reload time where it's helpless in close range, the Mortar Cycle has rapid-fire molotovs and shoots a steady barrage of shells while being on the lowest rung of the tech tree.
* FakeBalance: The Mortar Cycle is an artillery unit that is available in Tier ''1'', not to mention it is cheap, incredibly fast, and great for destroying enemy structures. The only counter to a Mortar Cycle rush is a bigger Mortar Cycle rush.
* MolotovCocktail: Mortar cycle anti-garrision.
* {{Pun}}: On Motor Cycle.
* ShoutOut: Its death screams are the StockScreams of ''Tiberian Dawn''.

!!!Twinblade
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Helicopter\\
'''Role''': Gunship, Air Transport\\
'''Weapons''': 12.7mm PKX Machine Gun x2, Oduvanchik Rocket Pods\\
'''Trained at:''' Airfield]
-->"Twinblade inspection complete!"

A dual-bladed attack chopper armed with quadmounted rocket launchers and twin machine guns, and doubles as a transport for infantry or tanks. the machine gun are an effective weapon against any enemy infantry, but when encountering an anti-air infantry unit, it is likely to lose a significant portion of health. The rockets make short work of any unit on the ground, with multiple Twinblades tearing through any unit in a matter of seconds. Once the salvo has been fired, a reload delay comes into effect, making the Twinblade vulnerable to vehicles during these periods.

* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: The Twinblade's secondary ability is Evacuate, which puts any unit, be it a vehicle or men, on the ground.
* BlackHelicopter: One of them tries to assassinate [[spoiler: Premier Cherdenko, although he faked it to frame Krukov]] in a cutscene.
-->''Yeees, [[SinisterSurveillance let's look over]] '''there'''''...
* BottomlessMagazines: They never run out of missiles and bullets, through the missiles are fired in salvos.
* {{Expy}}: Of the [=GDI=] Hammerhead from C&C 3.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Twinblade would fire a salvo of rockets, wait a bit to reload, and then fire another salvo of rockets. Endlessly.
* NotTheIntendedUse: The Twinblade's ability to transport units can be used to force them on the ground (even if said unit is nowhere near the Twinblade) and make them susceptible to a friendly Iron Curtain.
* ThePoliticalOfficer: Its co-pilots. While they don't serve this function in-game, [[AllThereInTheManual the fluff]] mentions that their original purpose was to patrol the edges of battlefields and shoot any Soviet deserters.
* ThisCannotBe: One of their death quotes is "But I'm a Romanov!"

!!![=MiG=] Fighter
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Air Superiority\\
'''Weapons''': M-Type Matryoshka Anti-air Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' Airfield]
-->"[=MiG=], ready to rule the skies!"

Synonymous with Soviet air power, the [=MiG=] is a fast-attack air-to-air fighter that can boast a remarkable survival rate, thanks to its armament of M-type burst missiles. [=MiGs=] have earned a reputation for owning the skies. An extremely agile VTOL fighter, the [=MiG=] can swiftly dispatch any enemy air units, and is known for being stronger than the Allied Apollo Fighter.

* AmazonBrigade: All [=MiG=] pilot are female.
* BlandNameProduct: The [=MiG=] aircraft in the game is called "Mikevich-Guroyan", instead of the real life "Mikoyan-Gurevich".
* CoolPlane: Synonymous with Soviet air power, the [=MiG=] is a fast-attack air-to-air fighter that can boast a remarkable survival rate, largely thanks to its armament of M-type burst missiles.
* HotBlooded: Not as much as [[MiniMecha Tengus]], but still...
* SplashDamage: Deals area damage, making it more effective against massed targets than Apollo fighters.

!!!Kirov Airship
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Airship\\
'''Role''': Bomber\\
'''Weapons''': 800 kg BOR-850 bombs\\
'''Trained at:''' Airfield]

-->"I don't think we've met!"

The pride of the Soviet military, these war zeppelins are capable of carrying hundreds of heavy bombs to any target in the world, and blowing it out of existence. Kirovs are slow, but can achieve a quick burst of speed at the expense of hull integrity. Should a Kirov be allowed to reach its target, the target will be doomed, as the bomb from the Kirov can quickly destroy even the strongest of buildings, and should it be shot down, the Kirov's husk will land on the building, causing even more damage to it.

* BottomlessMagazines: They never run out of bombs.
* CastFromHitPoints: They have a NitroBoost, but using it slowly eats away at their hull.
* CoolAirship: The Kirov is the Soviet's Heavy Bomber. The airship proves to be a devastating offensive weapon against infantry battalions and bases. Unlike the Allies' Century Bomber, the behemoth zeppelin doesn't need to reload thanks to its near-infinite bomb supply. When really close to a structure, the pilot begins unleashing a stream of iron bombs to turn a normal structure into nothing more than burning pieces.
* DefogOfWar: For the opponent, that is. Kirov Airships are always visible, even for enemies, while they have their Gastroburner ability active, just in case you wanted a quick ambush...
* ExplosiveOverclocking: The Kirov can temporarily [[NitroBoost boost their speed significantly]], but this also burns its health up.
* FlyingBrick: Sufficient to say they can take much, much more punishment than the average aircraft.
* ICanSeeMyHouseFromHere: Kirov Airships will sometimes remark, "Oh look, is that your house?" when ordered to attack.
* InstantDeathRadius: Being under the Kirov and being dead are roughly the same thing. Even if you manage to shoot it down, it's futile; its flaming wreckage will still crash and cause damage.
* KaizoTrap: Even if one is shot down, the flaming hull will fall to the ground (possibly on [[TakingYouWithMe whatever killed it]]) and explode, dealing heavy damage.
* LogicalWeakness: Being aircraft, Kirov Airships [[OneHitKill cannot survive]] being hit by ''any'' object falling from an Orbital Drop.
* MightyGlacier: Is slow enough that infantry and most vehicles can outrun it; fortunately, it can obliterate an enemy base single-handedly.
* OneManArmy: Unless a base has a ''lot'' of AntiAir (and even then, turrets are prone to getting their power cut), a single Kirov can and will ravage it short order.
* NitroBoost: The special ability, significantly increasing its speed at the expense of revealing its position and being CastFromHitPoints.
* TakingYouWithMe: You think you're safe when you shoot down that Kirov? Think again: the wreckage will fall to the ground (possibly on whatever killed it) and explode, dealing heavy damage.
* ThreateningShark: Kirov's have shark imagery painted on their noses.

!!!Stingray
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Amphibious Walker\\
'''Role''': Light Anti-Ship, Amphibious Assault\\
'''Weapons''': Portable Tesla Coils, Tesla Surge\\
'''Trained at:''' Naval Yard]
-->"Batteries, fully charged."

Mixing a fast-attack strike ship with Soviet Tesla weaponry (and crews who don't know how dangerous that combination is), the Stingray is a thing of sick ingenuity, able to fire underwater to electrocute everything in its attack radius.

* AmphibiousAutomobile: It is also amphibious, deploying six mechanical legs when it climbs ashore.
* AreaOfEffect: The Stingray can make a slowly-reloading surgewave of Tesla in the waters surrounding it, heavily damaging/killing anything foolish enough to stick around after having seen its overloading sequence.
* CoolBoat: The Stingray is a powerful, but lightly armoured, anti-surface strike vessel. Its turret has two Tesla coil guns that fire medium-range bolts of electricity against the target, and can also be used to power up Tesla coil base defenses. It can also unleash a surge of electricity into the water, frying all enemy vessels around it.
* GlassCannon: Stingrays deal a lot of damage for a Tier 1 unit, but they are quite pricey, very lightly-armored and they are lacking in defensive countermeasures. On land, this is made worse as they are much slower than on water and can't use their SplashDamage attack.
* LightningGun: Its twin Tesla coilguns.
* MilitaryMashUpMachine: A boat that sprouts legs when moving on land.
* SpiderTank: Become this when they move from sea to land. Though, weirdly enough, it must be built at naval docks. Apparently land-mode "movers" are just a bonus.
* TransformationSequence: Extending six legs and climbing ashore, Spider Tank style.

!!!Akula Sub
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Submarine\\
'''Role''': Anti-Ship\\
'''Weapons''': RU-7 Morena Lightweight Torpedoes, RU-20 Skhval Supercavitating Torpedoes\\
'''Trained at:''' Naval Yard]
-->"Akula Sub ready for the deep."

The venerable hunter/killer attack sub specializes in locating and destroying enemy ships, then vanishing into the deep. Akulas have multiple torpedo payloads at their disposal, for use on a variety of targets.

* CoolBoat: The Akula Submarine is more capable of dispatching naval enemies than the Allied assault destroyer on a one-on-one basis, and it can defeat a Naginata cruiser if it uses its Ultra-torpedoes, though must be wary of the Naginata's more powerful version of the Ultra-torpedoes; the Type- S Torpedoes. On the other hand, they are great for taking out important ships and for scouting. While submerged, they are invulnerable to most weapons except advanced base defenses, torpedoes and the Assault Destroyer's main gun.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Can't attack anything other than naval units and buildings.
* NervousWreck: They come across as paranoid and jittery at the best of times, which only gets worse when they actually ''are'' under attack.
--> ''What's that dripping sound?!''
--> ''What's that noise?''
--> ''Do you see somthing?''
--> ''They're on our trail!''
--> ''They're still out there...''
--> ''So much '''pressure'''...''
--> ''We've been hit, haven't we?!''
--> ''Mayday! MAYDAY!''
* ThreateningShark: Invoked by the Soviet Akula attack sub (Akula means 'Shark' in Russian). Whether or not his is the case depends on how savvy the player using them is, however.

!!!Dreadnought
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Battleship\\
'''Role''': Long Range Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': V4 Rocket Launchers x3\\
'''Trained at:''' Naval Yard]
-->"If Lenin could see us now..."

Built specifically to accommodate and fire endless barrages of Molot V4 Rockets on land or sea-based targets, Dreadnoughts are vulnerable in close quarters, but few things on Earth can withstand its devestating bombardments for long. Unlike in ''Red Alert 2'', its missiles can't be shoot down.

* BadassBoast:
--> ''The seas will run RED!''
--> ''The seas tremble beneath us!''
--> ''Enemies of the Union shall BURN!''
* CastFromHitPoints: The Dreadnought's special ability allows it to fire twice as fast, but this damages it in the process.
* GracefulLoser:
--> ''The Union demands our return!''
--> ''Our noble voyage must end!''
--> ''It was a '''glorious''' battle!''
* LargeHam:
--> ''The seas will run RED!''
--> ''Enemies of the Union shall BURN!''
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Dreadnoughts that can utterly spam targets with missiles, really, really huge missiles (these are full battleships after all, and unlike in ''Red Alert 2''), but at the expense of the unit's health.
* MightyGlacier: Dreadnoughts hit hard and are durable, but are very sluggish due to their mass, making them vulnerable to other ships or enemy aircraft.
* PatrioticFervor: They're extremely vocal about the sheer awesomeness of the Soviet Union.
* SiegeEngines: Serves this role for the Soviet due to its long range and effectiveness against structures.
* SimpleYetAwesome: In comparison to the Aircraft Carrier and the Shogun Battleship, which use drones shaped like miniature planes equipped with bombs and have an arsenal of lasers respectively, the Dreadnought simply fires array after array of missiles.

[[folder:Empire of the Rising Sun Units]]
!!!Imperial Warrior
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Ground Combat\\
'''Weapons''': Kinetic Carbine & Imperial Beam Katana\\
'''Trained at:''' Dojo]
-->"Death is deserved!"

Imperial Warriors compose the bulk of the Imperial infantry forces. Compared to the Soviet Conscripts, they are much better trained and equipped and are a formidable adversary for even the heavily armoured and armed Allied Peacekeepers. While expendable, they are well-equipped and trained soldiers armed with kinetic carbines which easily out-range conventional firearms. Alternately can charge up their beam katana for close range combat with their foes, whom they can slay in one strike. If necessary, they are willing to lay down their lives for the Emperor and charge into occupied structures, clearing them of enemy infantry but also sustaining fatal injuries in the process.

* CannonFodder: That are stronger but more expensive than Conscripts, and weaker but cheaper than Peacekeepers.
* CoolMask: In the intro cinematic, the Warriors wear facemasks - a detail the ingame units lack.
* CripplingOverspecialization: They are probably the most cost effective unit out of the 3 rifleman units when it comes to anti infantry and the only one that have the OneHitKill ability. However, they are useless against anything other than infantry while the Peacekeeper can deal good damage against buildings and the Conscript can switch to MolotovCocktail to deal with vehicles and buildings.
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Imperial Warrior uniforms resemble samurai outfits. They also carry [[LaserBlade beam]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter katanas]] as secondary weapons that OneHitKill infantry but can't hurt vehicles.
* FragileSpeedster: When they use their special ability, they gain the ability to do a OneHitKill on infantry, and run much faster as well. They also cannot be suppressed while the mode is active. They're still vulnerable to gunfire, though.
* HotBlade: Linked to each warrior's rifle's power supply, their beam katana can be ignited to become incredibly hot and, in effect, sharper than any steel, rendering any chances of the weapon being ceremonial moot. This also allows them to enter garrisoned buildings and take out the infantry there.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: They are armed with [[KatanasAreJustBetter beam katanas]] that they use for banzai charges to instantly kill infantry. They're actually superheated regular katanas.
* {{Kiai}}: When using their special ability (pulling out their beam katanas) they will scream UIYAAAAAAAH!
* LargeHam: ''I SERVE [[VideoGame/DawnOfWar THE EMPRAH]]''.
* LaserBlade: Imperial Warriors are armed with beam katanas that they use for banzai charges to instantly kill infantry. [[AllThereInTheManual They're actually superheated regular katanas.]]
* OneHitKill: This unit’s secondary ability is to switch to its sword mode and melee enemy infantry, instantly killing the target.
* {{Samurai}}: High-tech Samurai, with rifles and beam katanas.
* ShoutOut: Their banzai charge ability is a direct reference to the Japanese soldiers' suicide charges against the Allied forces in the Pacific theatre of Second World War.

!!!Tankbuster
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Anti-Armor\\
'''Weapons''': Plasma Cutter Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Dojo]
-->"There is no metal which we cannot melt!"

Tankbusters are a highly specialized elite corps of the Imperial Army charged with destroying enemy vehicles. They are equipped with portable plasma cutters, formerly used in industrial manufacturing. While they are too heavy and short-ranged to be used against aerial targets, they are highly effective against all manner of enemy vehicles and structures, as well as being reasonably capable of dealing with enemy infantry. In addition, they have the unusual ability to burrow into the ground at a moment's notice, allowing them to avoid being crushed by enemy vehicles as well as greatly increasing their resilience against attacks. While the Tankbusters and their tactics are considered highly dishonourable within the Imperial military, they are considered necessary for dealing with equally dishonourable opponents.

* AllAsiansWearConicalStrawHats: Tankbusters wear large, high-tech electronic versions of these hats. They're more than just decorative—they fire a cylindrical wall of lasers straight down, which allow Tankbusters to instantly burrow into the ground to hide from enemies.
* AntiVehicle: Tankbuster is the Empire's anti-tank infantry. Unlike the anti-tank infantry of the Allies and the Soviets, they cannot attack aircraft.
* CoolMask: In the [=RA3=] Intro Cinematics, the Tankbuster is seen wearing a face mask when it comes out of the ground. But in the game it does not wear a mask.
* CripplingOverspecialization: On theme with Imperial's basic infantry, the Tankbuster shoots fast and has longer range than the Javelin Soldier and Flak Trooper, and when garrisoned inside buildings the range increase they gain is insane which allow them to outrange some defensive structures. However they are unable to attack aircraft.
* {{Expy}}: They somewhat resemble the Scrin's Disintegrators, as both are anti-armor units that possess beam weapons and cannot attack aircraft.
* FastTunnelling: The Tank Buster is capable of burrowing into the ground, making him uncrushable as well as greatly increasing his durability. This however, makes the Tank Buster immobile, and unable to attack.
* NiceHat: A high-tech conical hat that allow Tankbusters to instantly burrow into the ground.
* PlasmaCannon: Each of the Tankbusters is equipped with MX-19 "Muramasa" plasma-cutter cannon.
* StrongFleshWeakSteel: Their energy weapon is [[HandWave "calibrated to leave only light burns on flesh"]], reportedly for security purposes. But strangely, that doesn't make it able to blast through an Allied Peacekeeper's bulletproof shield. They do much greater damage against ground targets, including infantry than the other anti-vehicle units. The trade-off is that they have no anti-air capability. They are cheaper, however.

!!!Archer Maiden
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Anti-Air/Anti-Infantry\\
'''Weapons''': Greatbow\\
'''Trained at:''' Dojo]
-->"Our bows are drawn as foes draw near."

The Archer Maiden, was available during our research into ''Uprising''-era arsenals. Though the Archer is female, like her airborne counterpart, the Rocket Angel, the Archer Maiden prefers to engage targets with a Greatbow which, surprisingly are capable of targeting and even following aircraft, as well as being a mean anti-infantry weapon.

* AmazonBrigade: All Archer Maiden are female.
* AntiAir: Provide the Empire's early game anti-air infantry, something they sorely lacked in the vanilla version. Interestingly, Archer Maidens are apparently rejected from Rocket Angel recruits, presumably the Empire's take on the "If I don't get to fly, NOBODY get to fly!" joke.
* BareYourMidRiff: [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090213194932/cnc/images/3/3a/RA3_ArcherMaiden1.jpg See this.]]
* EnergyBowAndArrows: They seem to use energy bows of some sort. They're physical bows, but they [[PowerGlows glow at the ends]] and the arrows they shoot glow too and are effective against ''tanks''.
* RecursiveAmmo: They can also fire specially-charged arrows, capable of splitting into a rain of shrapnel, which can be deadly against clusters of enemy infantry.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: They wield high-tech bows firing guided armor-piercing projectiles.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: An Allied Peacekeeper wishes there were more ladies in the infantry division when he upon seeing the Archer Maidens during the Allied assault on Shinzo's clan village. [[ArmorIsUseless And yet they take more damage than Imperial Warriors before dying]].
-->"Heh heh... I wish we had more ladies in our infantry divisions... heh heh."

!!!Shinobi
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Infiltration\\
'''Weapons''': Ninjato blade, Shuriken, and smoke bombs\\
'''Trained at:''' Dojo]
-->"We tend the Emperor's Garden!"

Master assassins and spies, Shinobi are legendary for their ability to kill silently and escape into thin air. The Emperor's killer elite resolutely cling to the old ways: the shuriken, the smoke bomb, and the sword.

* BanditMook: When a Shinobi infiltrates an enemy Refinery, you'll steal money from its owner.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Can't attack vehicles. They can attack infantry just fine, though.
* DifficultButAwesome: Like the Allied Spies, their infiltration ability has great benefits for when you manage to pull it off, as while it shares the same weaknesses to dogs and walls that the Spy does, they have the ability to defend themselves with attacks that can instantly kill any non-commando infantry, but their stealth ability is arguably inferior to the Spies, as instead of disguising themselves, they just throw a smoke bomb that causes the enemies aim to be temporarily thrown off, and even then they can just target the Shinbo again.
* GratuitousNinja: Shinobi are the Rising Sun infiltration unit - equivalent to the [[Film/JamesBond Allied Spy]], except armed with a giant sword and throwing stars. Despite having one of the least plausibly deadly weapons in a game [[ImprobableWeaponUser full of implausible weapons]] -- ''throwing stars?'' -- they could one-hit-kill any infantry and throw [[SmokeOut smoke bombs]], although they were worthless against tanks.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: They use katanas and ninja-shuriken, but they're ''very'' effective with them.
* {{Ninja}}: Throw Shurikens, smoke bombs and kill with a single sword blow.
* OneHitKill: Instantly kills any infantry expect Tanya, Natasha and Yuriko Omega.
* OneManArmy: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Their one-hit-kill weapons mean that they can kill other infantry in good time, but they're still vulnerable to gunfire. They can take down more than their share of infantry if micromanaged properly.
* PowerNullifier: In ''Red Alert 3'', a Shinobi infiltrating a Tech Structure required for Tier 3 (Allied Defense Bureau, Soviet Battle Lab, or Empire Nanotech Mainframe) will temporarily disable all Tier 3 units owned by the target structure's owner. In case of Tier 3 airborne units (Harbinger Gunship, Century Bomber, Kirov Airship, Giga-Fortress on Sky Mode), they are all {{One-Hit Kill}}ed.
* SmokeBombs: He can use a smoke bomb to throw off enemy targeting.
* WalkOnWater: They can move on water as if it was open ground.

!!!Rocket Angel
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Close Air Support\\
'''Weapons''': Photon Rockets & Paralysis Whip\\
'''Trained at:''' Dojo]
-->"Do not underestimate us, for we bear the wrath of heaven."

Women are not allowed the honor of combat, unless they are insanely hyper girls in state-of-the-art combat suits, armed with paralysis whips, firing volleys of missiles, demolishing all in their path. The name taken from a famous anime show watched weekly by the imperial population, they are dubbed Rocket Angels.

* AmazonBrigade: All Rocket Angels are female.
* AntiAir[=/=]AntiVehicle: Their role is to pull double duty as Anti-Air and Anti-Tank units with their photon rocket.
* BottomlessMagazines
--> "Unlimited ammo!"
* GenkiGirl: If her unit quotes are any indication.
-->"No man can best me!"
-->"I'm tougher than you!"
-->"Awwww, did that hurt?"
* GlassCannon: They can deal a lot of damage in large groups to ground or air targets, but they die very easily if confronted by something that can attack them.
* {{Jetpack}}: They have one so they can fly around.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Rocket Angels en masse can produce this. There is even an upgrade to make missile-firing units spam ''even more''.
* TheParalyzer: Their alt-fire shuts down a single ground unit at a time.
* ShoutOut: Girls in flying suits should [[Anime/SkyGirls really]] [[Manga/StrikeWitches remind]] [[LightNovel/InfiniteStratos people of]] [[Anime/VividredOperation certain shows]].
* SimpleYetAwesome: Their function essentially. They're fairly agile and capable of dealing lots of damage in large groups, and their Paralysis whip can be used for things such as paralyzing harvester units combined with Shinobi's to ruin an enemy economically.
* WhipItGood: Rocket Angels use laser whips to paralyse ground troops.

!!!Nanocore
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Base Construction/Expansion\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' Construction Yard]

Nanocores are amphibious vehicles built by the Empire of the Rising Sun which, when deployed, transform into a building. A commander can place the building wherever they want, but the deploying process takes time.

* BaseOnWheels: A hover vehicle that deployed into another building, allowed the Empire to build up their bases much faster than the Allies and, under certain circumstances, the Soviets.
* BoringButPractical: Because their buildings don't need to be built in a building's control area or take more than a few seconds to build, Imperials can send out Refineries at much lower cost, greatly boosting their economy in the early game.
* EmergencyWeapon: As it counts as a vehicle, a Nanocore can run over infantry.
* WorkerUnit: All of the Empire's buildings are unpacked from Nanocores.

!!!Ore Collector
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Resource Gathering\\
'''Weapons''': Kinetic Burst\\
'''Trained at:''' Refinery/Mecha Bay/Docks]
-->"The Ore is in good hands."

An armored harvester tasked with rapidly gathering the massive resources needed to produce the Empire's top of the line forces. As an added precaution, it has been fitted with a small but effective collapsible cannon.

* AmphibiousAutomobile: Ore Collector can traverse land and water with equal ease because of it similar base design to the Tsunami tank.
* DefenselessTransports: Subverted, it can activate an anti-infantry gun (but this makes it unable to carry ore).
* WorkerUnit: Gathers ore to facilitate the player's economy.

!!!Sudden Transport
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Stealth/Infiltration Transport\\
'''Weapons''': None\\
'''Trained at:''' Mecha Bay]
-->"I am but a humble transport!"

To position their limited forces swiftly and safely, Imperial scientists developed this amphibious transport, able to camouflage itself as other objects or enemy vehicles.

* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: A hovering APC that can disguise itself as an enemy vehicle to sneak its troops past enemy lines. Completely unarmed, though.
* DefenselessTransports: The Sudden Transport serves as a dedicated transport and has no weapon.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Sudden Transport are equipped with a unique stealth camouflage system that allows it to mimic the appearance of enemy vehicles.
* LogicalWeakness: Their ability to disguise themselves as other units doesn't mix well with disguising themselves as units that're unable to transverse across water like they are, as you're much off better disguising them as a Riptide or a Bullfrog than say, a Apocalypse Tank or a Mirage Tank in a map that has a large amount of water on it.

!!!Mecha Tengu / Jet Tengu
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Transforming Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Anti-Infantry/Air Superiority\\
'''Weapons''': Kinetic Autocannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Mecha Bay]
-->"Mecha Tengu, let's go!"

A dual purpose interceptor, the Mecha Tengu can fluidly change to a Jet Tengu and back, allowing pilots to easily engage air or ground units with its 20mm autocannon.

* CoolPlane: It's a jet fighter than can turn into a MiniMecha.
* DualModeUnit: An anti-infantry mecha that can transform into an anti-air jet.
-->"Mecha Tengu, GO!"
* FragileSpeedster: Tengus are quite fast units, especially in Jet Mode, but their armor and damage output are not very good, as even anti-infantry units can deal with them fairly quickly
* HotBlooded: Well, they are mecha pilots, after all...
* LargeHam: The pilot ''never'' stops shouting.
* MiniMecha: That can [[TransformingMecha transform into a jet.]]
* ShoutOut:
** One of the lines said by the Tengu pilots is "[[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Who do they think they are?]]"
** The Tengu [[http://27.media.tumblr.com/NAJN8JTZ6jz9z4ocLT05SnPTo1_500.jpg stylistically resembles]] a [[Anime/{{Macross}} Variable Fighter in Gerwalk mode]].
* SimpleYetAwesome: Out of all the fighter jets, the Tengu is the weakest, being unable to beat the [=MiG=] or the Apollo Fighter[[note]]That being said, they tank AntiAir attacks a little better thanks to their armor type[[/note]]. However, Tengus are not constrained by the amount of slots in an Airport (thanks to the Empire not having them to begin with) and more importantly not needing to reload. They can beat other fighter jets just with sheer numbers.
* {{Tengu}}: Its long nose. The Command and Conquer wiki explicitly points the connection to the mythical beast, calling it a half-bird half-man with a long nose and a bad temper.
-->"The stuff of legend!"
* TransformationSequence: Tengu launching into a backflip and transforming mid-air when switching between mecha and jet forms. In-game.

!!!Tsunami Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Amphibious Assault\\
'''Weapons''': 8.8cm AP Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Mecha Bay]
-->"The Tsunami rises!"

The Emperor's mainline tanks, Tsunamis transform into amphibious units as needed. Its armor-piercing cannon is weaker than the other faction's tanks but they have a higher rate of fire and their special nanodeflectors can nullify most incoming attacks.

* HoverTank: Sort of, in that it doesn't hover but rather its treads can flip over to become floaters. The Tsunami Tank can traverse any body of water with ease, allowing it to attack unsuspecting enemies from almost any direction.
* {{Jerkass}}: Insults and physically attacks the Hammer tank repeatedly throughout the Tutorial.
* {{Nanomachines}}: The Tsunami Tank can use its nanobots, which are usually used to fire its shells, to form a nanodeflector around the tank. This will temporarily increase the Tsunami Tank defenses against enemy assault. The Tsunami Tank also will repair itself while the Nano Deflectors are engaged (this feature was removed from ''Uprising'' for unknown reasons).
* TankGoodness: The Tsunami Tank is one of the most versatile tier two tanks in the game. This tank can fire faster than regular tanks however it does not deal significantly more damage than the other tier two tanks. Not only can it fire faster than other tanks, it can also travel into the water making it a deadly foe. When the player activate the tank secondary ability, several small red drones come out of the Tsunami tank and create a shield which gives the tank a significant armor buff, though this disables the gun.

!!!Striker VX / Chopper VX
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Transforming Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Anti-Air/Close Air Support\\
'''Weapons''': Swarm Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' Mecha Bay]
-->"VX, all systems green."

A counterpart to the Tengu, the VX switches seamlessly between an anti-air mecha and an anti-ground helicopter, unleashing rocket swarms to obliterate the Emperor's enemies.

* AntiAir: In its Striker-VX form, it can only fire at aircraft with its surface-to-air missiles.
* BottomlessMagazines: It appears to have a bottomless supply of missiles to shoot at enemy in huge salvos.
* ChickenWalker: In its Striker-VX form.
* DualModeUnit: An anti-air missile platform that can transform into an anti-ground missile helicopter.
* MiniMecha: That can turn into aircrafts and back.
* OffModel: In the intro, its missile pods in walker form are situated below the cockpit rather than above.
* TransformationSequence: The intro even shows it extending two spindly legs just prior to landing then folding back its propeller before firing off-screen.

!!!Steel Ronin
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Mecha Walker\\
'''Role''': Armored Support\\
'''Weapons''': Wave Force Glaive\\
'''Trained at:''' Mecha Bay]
-->"My Blade hungers, bring them to me!"

The Empire of the Rising Sun's new Battle Mech in ''Red Alert 3: Uprising'', the Steel Ronin, is as of yet unknown to us. What is known, however, is that it wields a Beam Naginata and is expected to possess a heavily armored design which looks like a mix between samurai armor and the face of an oni. Despite its size, the Steel Ronin is very fast.

* AndIMustScream: Their details say that Empire warriors refusing to follow orders to retreat are locked inside them as punishment, then forced to man them when necessary. No word on how they're kept alive, which is just as well.
* InstantRunes: The Power Wave ability sends out a wave of force that also forms the kanji for "death".
* [[LaserBlade Laser Blade]] [[BladeOnAStick On A Stick]]
* LightningBruiser: Although the Steel Ronin is second only to the monstrous King Oni battlewalker in terms of sheer size, it is remarkably quick on its feet, being even faster than most infantry. It can also take quite a pounding, and its energy naginata can cleave through battletanks. In fluff, Allied armor divisions attempting to take it on are advised to take advantage of their superior range to make their first shots count. Its only weakness is that it has no ranged attack of any kind, [[StrongButUnskilled and it's heavy, clumsy melee attacks are poorly-suited to taking on hordes of infantry]].
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Compared to other Imperial units, its design appears more ancient and uses darker colors, especially in the concept art. It looks like an ancient samurai statue that has come to life.
* {{Ronin}}: In ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3: [[ExpansionPack Uprising]]'', Steel Ronin are a kind of battlesuit unit. Specifically, they are in the suits as a form of punishment for not following orders or related crimes and hope to regain their freedom again by doing battle against the Empire's enemies. [[DisproportionateRetribution They're apparently in constant pain too]].
* ShoutOut: They resemble Gunmen from the Anime Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann, due to their torso being a second, bestial looking head.
* SplashDamage: Their special ability lets them shoot a wave of damaging energy in a line. In Yuriko's campaign, it's used as a static defense, the Ronin going after Yuriko if she gets any closer.
* SuperSoldier: They are disgraced Imperial commanders in [[PoweredArmor armored]] [[ManInTheMachine life support suits]], although these guys are armed with [[BladeOnAStick energy-bladed naginatas]] that can cleave through tanks and entire ranks of infantry.

!!!Wave-Force Artillery
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Long-Range Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': Particle Beam\\
'''Trained at:''' Mecha Bay]
-->"We will take them by force!"

This mobile artillery unit forgoes ballistic shells in favor of a devastating particle beam, able to shred entire fortresses in a few well-placed shots. Less, if allowed to charge up to full power first.

* ChargedAttack: That can prematurely release, causing instant damage, even though it will not cause as much damage as it would if it had charged up to 100%.
* GlassCannon: Though a formidable foe at long range, the Wave-Force Artillery is lightly armoured.
* {{Hitscan}}: Unlike other artillery units, attacks from the Wave-Force Artillery cannot be dodged. Target units can still get out of range [[ChargedAttack while it's charging]], however.
* LongRangeFighter: They outrange most other units and base defenses but weak in a direct fight.
* OneHitPolykill: However, every target past the first unit hit will suffer less damage.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: It's the only Bombardment unit in the game to not employ DeathFromAbove as it's primary means of attack, and instead simply uses a massive laser beam instead.
* WaveMotionGun: It is able to annihilate foes with high powered destructive blasts of particle beam energy.

!!!King Oni
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Mecha Walker\\
'''Role''': Heavy Assault\\
'''Weapons''': Energy Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Mecha Bay]
-->"To the slaughter!"

Few survive the Radiant Eyeblasters of the King Oni, the Empire's giant robot guardian. Whether crushing tanks with its massive arms or melting entire armies to slag, the King Oni more than lives up to its demonic name.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: In ''3'', the [[HumongousMecha King Oni]] is shown to be {{Kaiju}}-sized in the cutscenes, although it is much smaller in game. Also, in one scene, it is shown leaping up and punching a Kirov out of the sky, but in game, King Onis have no anti-air capabilities [[spoiler:except the [[AceCustom special ones]] piloted by [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Emperor Yoshiro and Kenji]].]]
* EvilLaugh: When using using Bull Rush ability.
* EyeBeams: Their main weapon.
* FoeTossingCharge: The King Oni can perform a bullrush for a short distance. Any enemy unit, be it a man or machine, will be crushed if in the King's way.
* HumongousMecha: The [[http://www.ea.com/redalert/factions-empire.jsp?id=King_Oni official website data]] does some LampshadeHanging on the concept, noting that it "flies in the face of decades of conventional mechanized warfare".
* OrnamentalWeapon: Its fists. While its special ability allows it to bullrush enemies, in game it does not punch enemies as its basic attack (which would have been the logical method), instead using less powerful eyebeams.
* ShoutOut: The King Oni is pretty much a ShoutOut to huge mecha in general. Also, [[spoiler:the Emperor's special King Oni from the Soviet campaign]] is red with gold accents (which are normally white, but are gold colored due to the Empire's canonical faction color). You even see him in a ComicBook/IronMan-like interface as he [[TemptingFate declares your imminent doom]].
* SuperPrototype: The prototype King Oni is faster, stronger, nigh indestructible and equipped with a absolutely devastating anti-aircraft rocket battery. [[spoiler:And it's piloted by George Takei]]. Apparently, the original King Oni is a super prototype, given to [[spoiler:Emperor Yoshiro]] as a gift.
* {{Youkai}}: Fittingly, they resemble giant hulking brutes, though their main form of attack are EyeBeams. They do however have a [[RammingAlwaysWorks bull rush ability]] which causes them to rush forward and knock away anything unlucky enough to get in their way.
** [[spoiler: And The Emperor has the [[SuperPrototype original prototype]] of it. Its [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority red]], [[BiggerIsBetter bigger]], has [[MacrossMissileMassacre shoulder-mounted missile pods]] and [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking The Emperor]] is gonna kick your ass with it.]]

!!![[spoiler:Shogun Executioner]]
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Assault Walker\\
'''Role''': Ultra-heavy assault walker\\
'''Weapons''': Wave-force blades x3, Omega Shockwave\\
'''Trained at:''' None]
A campaign exclusive unit built for invading the Soviet Union. It's a gigantic robot even larger than the King Onis that wields three massive katanas that even destroy tier 3 armored units in a few hits, takes an incredible amount of damage, its Omega Shockwave ability instantly destroys anything on the ground in a radius large enough to wipe out entire armies, and taking hits from tesla weapons fully restores its health.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Largest unit in the game. It's so big that it can destroy aircraft by walking into them.
* {{BFS}}: Its weapon is a three large Wave-force blades matching its size.
* FeedItWithFire: Not only is the Shogun Executioner completely immune to Tesla bolts, it actually gets ''healed'' by them.
* FriendlyFireproof: Omega Shockwave does not inflict damage to allies.
* HumongousMecha: A giant mech which has three legs, three torsos, 6 arms, three heads, 3 lightning katanas, and heals itself when attacked with Tesla weaponry!
* KatanasAreJustBetter: They are when they're as tall as a house.
* MightyGlacier: While extremely slow, it is so good at absorbing damage that bases don't stand a chance (and if that base happens to be a Soviet one with lots of Tesla coils...).
* OneHitKill: Can instantly kill almost any unit except Apocalypse and Future tanks.
* OneManArmy: In both gameplay and story, the campaign making a note that it went all the way from Odessa to Moscow, and nothing was able to stop it.
* PurposelyOverpowered:
** You can basically just rely on this for the mission you get it in.
** In the appropriately-titled King of the Monsters challenge, it's entirely possible for the enemy AI to unintentionally kite it into their own base due to sending out streams of units.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: It does on aircraft, which it can instantly destroy by walking into them.
* ShockAndAwe: By driving all three of its massive Wave-force Katanas into the ground, the Executioner can unleash a devastating shockwave the utterly destroys everything around itself, both ground units and structures.
* TripodTerror: A HumongousMecha with three legs and three torsos, with each torso shaped like a samurai complete with a LaserBlade. The thing is so big it can destroy aircraft just by walking at them. It's especially effective against the Soviets, as electrical attacks only serve to heal it.

!!!Burst Drone
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Drone\\
'''Role''': Reconnaissance/Suicide Attack\\
'''Weapons''': High Explosive\\
'''Trained at:''' Dojo]
Burst Drones are cute, deceptive flying robotic scout units, capable of detecting concealed enemy units such as Spies or Mirage Tanks. While completely unable to defend itself, the Burst Drone can attach itself to enemy vehicles and aircraft, slowing them down. Generally however, Burst Drones are more of an annoyance rather than a serious threat.

* ActionBomb: Can self-destruct in an EMP explosion, hopefully damaging anything around it. [[CompanionCube May cause grief]], best used when attached to vehicles.
* {{EMP}}: Release EMP when self destruct.
* MechaMooks: Burst Drones are AI-controlled.
* SpyBot: The Burst Drone's role is scout the enemy, latch on to slow vehicles, or simply self-detonate, releasing an EMP blast to disrupt all electrical systems.
* TrueSight: The Burst Drones are able to detect stealthed and disguised enemy units in the vicinity.

!!!Sea-Wing / Sky-Wing
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval/Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Anti-Air/Close Air Support\\
'''Weapons''': Rocket Array/Kinetic Pulse Shots\\
'''Trained at:''' Docks]
-->"I've seen it all."

Swift and agile, the Sky-Wing is a dual-purpose submarine. Able to fire volleys of 'Aozora' missiles against enemy aerial threats while on the seas, it is also able to emerge from the seas and use its swivel-mounted kinetic pulse-shot weapon to kill infantry with its deadly accuracy and wear down enemies, raining death from the skies.

* AntiAir: Sea-Wing form are armed with an anti-air rocket system specially designed to track and destroy aircraft.
* CripplingOverspecialization: PlayedWith: it can deal with most threats by transforming, and requires at least one anti-air and one anti-ship unit to make sure it dies. While it is devastating against aircraft when submerged, it has no anti-ship attacks, and while flying has no anti-air attacks.
* DualModeUnit: An anti-aircraft submarine that can transform into an anti-infantry aircraft.
* IfItSwimsItFlies: Is a fast anti-air submarine that can transform into anti-infantry airplanes. And by "transform", we really just mean "take off and flip over"; the two forms are identical.
* MilitaryMashupMachine: It's a close-air support flyer ''AND'' a submarine?
* TransformationSequence: The way in which the Sea-Wing transitions to the Sky-Wing and back is simply turns end over end like a coin-flip.

!!!Yari Minisub
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Reconnaissance/Anti-Shipping\\
'''Weapons''': Mini-Torpedoes\\
'''Trained at:''' Docks]
-->"Command?"

Light two-man subs made for skirmishing and reconnaissance, Yaris are armed with torpedoes, but their best weapon is the crew's willingness to kamikaze enemy ships.

* ActionBomb[=/=]SuicideAttack: These are manned though, while not a pure suicide units, it can be used as such with devastating effects. This brutally devastating attack will sink the strongest Capital Ships; even Dreadnoughts won't survive.
-->"FOR THE EMPIRE!!"
* CoolBoat: These are relatively inexpensive, fast-moving scout vessels ill-suited for mainline combat on the seas. However, mini-subs can still be extremely dangerous, especially in large numbers.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Same as the Soviet's Akula, they cannot fire at anything that isn't in the water.
* NervousWreck: To a lesser extent than the Akula, but they're not hapy being underwater.
-->"I think we're losing pressure!"\\
"I see water coming in!"
* RammingAlwaysWorks: In a pinch, the Yari can activate its "[[DeadlyEuphemism Last Voyage]]" protocols and accelerate towards an enemy. The end result is inherently fatal to the Yari but also usually equally detrimental to the target. No points for guessing that these were based on the historical Japanese Kaiten submarine.
* TakingYouWithMe: When activated Last Voyage, the pilot rams the Yari into a naval target, destroying the submarine and causing significant damage to the target.

!!!Naginata Cruiser
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Naval Escort\\
'''Weapons''': Torpedoes\\
'''Trained at:''' Docks]
-->"The Seas belong to the Empire!"

The ship-hunters of the Imperial Navy, a Naginata typically closes with its victims at an incredible speed and launches a spread of torpedoes, taking out multiple targets before they have time to respond.

* AreaOfEffect: If its special ability is used at medium range, it will hit multiple ships. Including your own if you aren't careful.
* CoolShip: It's the strongest combat ship in the game, and it will always beat an Akula or an Assault Destroyer 1-on-1.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Same as the Soviet's Akula, they cannot fire at anything that isn't in the water. They're ''very'' good at what they can do though.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Their special attack fires five unguided torpedoes at once in a fan-like arc, causing damage to allies and enemies alike.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: They're powerful ship hunters, but that's about it. The Shogun Battleship is already able to hold its own to an extent ''and'' can also besiege inland bases. The Yari Minisub also overlaps with this ship's role.
* ShortRangeShotgun: Its special ability makes the Naginata fire several torpedoes at once in a cone in front of it, akin to a shotgun. A trick among many players is to move the Naginata right up close to a building or other target, then fire the special attack to deal ridiculously high damage, since all five torpedoes will hit.

!!!Shogun Battleship
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Long-Range Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': 6 400mm Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Docks]
-->"The Day of the Shogun has arrived!"

The majestic Imperial standard-bearer, both decorative and awe-inspiring, the Shogun is a weapon of mass destruction, bombarding coastlines with weaponry that leave nothing standing. Heavily defended, Shoguns have historically never needed even minor repairs after battle.

* {{BFG}}: Each battleship carries two turrets, each armed with three 400mm Shirada cannons, mounted back-to back.
* CoolShip: The Shogun Battleship has very few weaknesses: it is a heavily armored vessel and has the greatest firepower of the tier 3 ships, coupled with excellent range. Should an enemy unit manage to get close, however, the Shogun is perfectly capable of defending itself at close quarters by simply ramming into them.
* GratuitousJapanese: Ute! (Japanese for "Fire!" or "Fire at Will!") when ordered to attack.
* MightyGlacier: Shogun Battleships hit hard and are durable, but are very sluggish due to their mass, making them perfect prey for Terror drones and aircraft. All the commando units from all faction can easily devastate fleets of these monsters with excellent micromanagement, though a pre-ramming command may deter from such attacks.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: First is deploy an energy shield in the front of the hull. The ship then can then ram and kill another ship, or even Commandos like Natasha, Tanya however proves to be a pain to them up close.
-->"As a crashing wave"
** This is used to counteract the minimum range of the battleship's guns (same problem possessed by other tier 3 ships). The manual states that, during the initial attack of the Empire on the Soviet Pacific Fleet, several Soviet ships managed to make it inside the battleship's range and confidently start to fire at them. Cue the battleships accelerating and ramming them.
* SiegeEngines: The Shogun Battleships are extremely effective anti-surface and are best used for leveling even a heavily defended enemy base near the shore due to its long firing range.

!!!Giga Fortress
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Mobile Base\\
'''Role''': Heavy Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': Pulser Missiles, 400mm Cannons /God's Breath Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' Docks]
-->"Accessing viable targets."

Surveillance research into the Empire of the Rising Sun's new weapons of the ''Uprising'' revealed the disturbingly strange Giga Fortress: a massive, aerial and naval war machine that has the design of a demon's head from Japanese mythology. What possessed the Empire to create such a monstrosity as this is anyone's guess, but the Giga Fortress will certainly be a threat to any Commander, Allied, Soviet or Imperial.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Barring the Shogun Executioner, the Giga-Fortress is considered as one of the most powerful units in the entire game. In their sea form, wields an array of multiple cannons and rocket launchers that can overpower most naval and air units. What's even more intimidating is their aerial form that comes with [[BreathWeapon giant lasers in their mouths]] that can annihilate anything in a ridiculously long range. However to be able to build these transforming behemoths, you have to reach the highest tech level in your Imperial Docks and a whopping '''6300''' credits to spare (the most expensive unit in the game more so than the [=MCVs=] and superweapons of the three factions). And not only that, you have to secure their deployment as they are built through Nanocores (and they are so fragile that even losing one is already an economic disaster). In combat it is far from being invincible as there are a myriad of hard counters to, if not completely destroy, render them useless due to their super slow speed and the [[CripplingOverspecialization side-effects of their transforming abilities]].
* BreathWeapon: The Giga Fortress uses this in air mode, that turns even Apocalypse Tanks to dust...
* CripplingOverspecialization: The Giga Fortress's Sky Mode is ridiculously powerful against ground targets but, unlike the Fortress mode, it cannot attack air units.
* DualModeUnit: Much like several of the Empire of the Rising Sun's much smaller pilot-assisted robots, the Giga-Fortress has two completely different forms. As the sea-fortress, it is capable of defeating entire enemy armadas, shelling coastlines, or assaulting flight groups. As the sky-fortress, it can supposedly devastate anything on the ground with something called the God's Breath Device. Anything underneath the sky fortress would be crushed, were the sky fortress to revert back to its naval form overhead.
* FakeBalance: It's an air unit that has the range of a tier 3 ship, meaning it greatly outranges anti-air and a decent number of them will make short work of a base of any size. Costing more than even superweapons won't drive any player (or the AI) away from building Giga Fortresses.
* InformedAttribute: Their profile states that they have a bridge, bunks, and a mess hall inside them, but they aren't able to be garrisoned, likely because they'd be even more overpowered.
* HumongousMecha: Emphasis on "Humongous" since is far too big to be built out of the Imperial Docks and have to be built from the very same types of Nanocore machines that unfurl into Imperial structures.
* TheJuggernaut: The Giga-Fortress's Fortress Form is a floating battleship that mounts ''four'' photon rocket launchers, each equivalent to a Rocket Angel in firepower, plus [[BeamSpam four beam-cannon batteries]].
* MachineMonotone: Always talks in a calm, near-monotone voice despite being a destructive war machine. Even when under attack.
--> Are you aware they are attacking me?
* MasterOfAll: The Giga Fortress's Fortress mode has the right weaponry to attack every possible kind of target in the game.
* MechaMooks: Giga Fortresses are AI-controlled.
* MightyGlacier: Giga Fortress is a warship that looks like a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin high-tech animesque fortress]] that transforms into a giant flying demon head with [[WaveMotionGun long range that inflicts massive damage]]. Thing is as slow as Kirov and costs more than anything else in the game (not counting buildings, it costs more than anything else in the entire series), but people still say it's a Gamebreaker for a reason.
* OneManArmy: Even a single Sky Fortress showing up can be a headache, because unlike a Kirov, they ''outrange'' defensive turrets, and even four jets unloading their entire ammo supply into it won't kill it. The skirmish AI has a tendency to ''mass-produce them''.
* ShoutOut: The "flying head" form that they have resembles the head of a Franchise/{{Gundam}}.
* SplashDamage: The God's Breath Device causes damage in a long line extending both in front and behind the target. It also damages friendly units, which can be used to your advantage in Yuriko's campaign.
%%* TransformationSequence
* WaveMotionGun: They use Shogun Battleship's cannons when on water and a huge long range beam when in the air.
* WeaksauceWeakness: If an infiltrator gets into the Nanocore Mainframe, all fortresses in the air die immediately. It also remains fully vulnerable to all sorts of esoteric technology, such as the Magnetic Satelite, SHRINK beam, Paralysis Whip, and Weapons Jammer.
* WetwareCPU: Depending on how you interpret its "Where is... my body?" line.

'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"There is much to learn!"

These are Yuri's basic infantry and uses the power of their minds to fire a fiery beam that effective against infantry and vehicles. They are also capable of garrisoning buildings and, when doing so, they fire much faster than Soviet Conscripts and Allied [=GIs=].

* CannonFodder: ''Really expensive'' cannon fodder, but fulfills the same role.
* GlassCannon: They are the most fragile basic infantry in the game, but they deal the highest damage (not counting deployed [=GIs=]), the latter point getting UpToEleven when garrisoned - the Initiate's damage increases dramatically in there.
* KillItWithFire: Initiates are pyrokinetics who attack by igniting fires with their psychic powers.
* PlayingWithFire: Initiates are pyrokinetics who attack by igniting fires with their powers. Initiates are an unholy terror when garrisoned into buildings, wiping out entire tank battalions in seconds. Their only real flaws are that they are more fragile and shorter-ranged than the basic infantry of other factions.
* PsychicPowers: Initiates are equipped with psychic apparatuses that allow them to create and manipulate fire with thought alone.
* StartingUnits: Yuri players start with Initiates but can't train more until they build a Barracks.

!!!Brute
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Assault\\
'''Weapons''': Fists\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks/Created by Genetic Mutator]
-->"Give me your lunch money!"

The Brute is Yuri's anti-tank infantry. This unit is capable of clobbering both enemy infantry and vehicles at a close range with high attack power. Dogs will avoid Brutes and will not attack them.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Brutes are gigantic, heavily-muscled mutants that can cause heavy damage to vehicles and infantry. They're fairly quick, immune to mind control and unique among infantry for being immune to dogs. However they were melee-only so they're sitting ducks for aircraft and most ground vehicles could fire and move at the same time, those could often dance around to attack them from safety. Also they weren't that much tougher than standard infantry, so any weapon that cuts apart infantry would have a field day against them. About the only time you'll want any produced is if you use the Genetic Mutator on a group of enemy infantry to get free Brutes.
* TheBrute: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Well]], duh.
* DumbMuscle: The strongest but not the smartest of Yuri's creations.
* HulkMashUp: They're very obviously based off of the Hulk, and their grey skin makes them a reference to the Joe Fix-it persona he has.
* ImmuneToMindControl: Could not be mind controlled due to their now-minuscule brains.
* LightningBruiser: Surprisingly quick for their size, and appropriately tough and high-damaging. [[AwesomeButImpractical That's where the advantages end, however]].
* {{Mutants}}: They are the result of Yuri's genetic engineering.
* PsychopathicManchild: A lot of their lines are about playing, and they call the vehicles "toys", plus, their lines when injured are childish complaining.
-> ''I want to play!''
-> ''I like big toys!'''
-> ''Ouch! That hurts!''
-> ''It's plaaaytiiime!''
-> ''I WANNA GO HOME!!!''
-> ''I was only playing!''
* ShoutOut: Aside from being an obvious parody of ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk, one of their lines, "It is clobbering time, no?" is a reference to the Thing from the ComicBook/FantasticFour.
* TragicMonster: Even though they're totally malicious, they're tragic in nature due to once being ordinary people, irreversibly turned into mentally retarded giants loyal only to Yuri, without even regards to their consent.
!!!Virus
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Anti-Infantry\\
'''Weapons''': Long-Range Dart Gun\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"No cure for this!"

This deadly infantry unit is equipped with a long-range rifle, capable of slaughtering any infantry unit with a single strike. Worse, the victim is killed not with a bullet but with a powerful toxin that leaves a dangerous residue that damages other infantry units unfortunate enough to walk through the poisonous cloud left by a Virus in its victim

* AbnormalAmmo: The Virus fires a powerful toxin that leaves a dangerous residue that damages other infantry units unfortunate enough to walk through the poisonous cloud left by a Virus’s victim.
* AmazonBrigade: All Viruses are female.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Viruses are able to kill entire groups of infantry from a long range. In fact, an Elite Virus defeats an Elite Sniper one-on-one thanks to her superior range (Elite Snipers attack faster, however). However, they can't damage structures and vehicles directly - at best, the latter take minor damage from toxic clouds.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The fate of a soldier killed by a Virus. When killed by the virus, the victim instantly decomposes and violently explodes, releasing a cloud of fast acting bio-toxin that damages everything in its wake.
* LongRangeFighter: They can fire from very far but their slow reload speed makes them ill-suited for direct combat.
* OneHitKill: They can one-shot almost every infantry unit.
* PoisonedWeapons: The Virus' bullets are filled with bio-toxin.
* SniperRifle: Their weapon is a sniper rifle that kills you and blows up your corpse into a cloud of poison. Any infantry killed by the cloud will undergo an identical process and release another cloud.

!!!Yuri Clone
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Psychic Support\\
'''Weapons''': Mind Control & Psychic Blast\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"Their will is my will..."

Defenseless in the traditional sense, this unit is equipped with a powerfully altered brain that allows it to take control of almost any enemy unit. This unit is identical to the Psi-Corps trooper possessed by the Soviet Army in ''Red Alert 2'', except cheaper.

* AreaOfEffect: Can release a Psychic blast which kills all nearby enemy infantry units.
* CharmPerson: Yuri Clones are capable of mind controlling enemy units.
* CloneDegeneration: Yuri Clones are weaker than the real deal.
* CloningBlues: Like the name suggests, their were in fact Yuri's clones.
* PsychicPowers: Mostly MindControl type, though it also utilizes some form of MindOverMatter for its anti-infantry psi-blast ability.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Units that are ImmuneToMindControl, including but not limited to animals, robots and {{Hero Unit}}s.

!!!Yuri Prime
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Command & Control\\
'''Weapons''': Mind Control & Psychic Blast\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"There is only one true Yuri."

Yuri's answer to Tanya and Boris is Yuri himself. Seated on a massive flying chariot, Yuri Prime is a much more capable and deadly version of the Yuri Clone

* AreaOfEffect: Can release a more powerful version of Psychic blast that not only kills all nearby enemy infantry units but also strong against vehicles.
* BadassBoast:
-->"There is only one true Yuri"
-->"I cannot be overcome"
-->"I am my own master, always"
-->"Your orders - my ideas"
* CharmPerson: Yuri Prime are capable of mind controlling enemy units and most enemy structures.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Yuri Prime averts this trope to hell as his psychic power was able to affect anything other than airborne targets (and only while they stay airborne).
* HeroUnit: Only one Yuri Prime can be built at a time (although a second one appears with a Cloning Vats).
* PsychicPowers: Like his clones, Yuri Prime can control most vehicles and enemy infantry units, as well as most enemy structures, even turning enemy defenses to his nefarious will. Additionally, Yuri is equipped with an improved Psi Wave attack that instantly kills infantry in its area of effect and even damages units outside of the immediate blast radius. Yuri Prime is in greater control of this effect than his clones are; when he uses his Psi Wave attack, he does not damage allies.

!!!Psi Commando
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Infantry\\
'''Role''': Psychic Operations\\
'''Weapons''': Mind Control, C4 Charges\\
'''Trained at:''' Barracks]
-->"The mind is quicker than the eye."

If a Spy manages to infiltrate one of Yuri's Battle Labs (a Soviet Battle Lab in the base game), Psi Commandos can be trained from the Barracks (Allied Barracks only in the base game). They are Yuri clones that have been equipped with C4 charges to destroy buildings, while also being able to mind control units or release psychic blasts.

* AreaOfEffect: Can release a Psychic blast which kills all nearby enemy infantry units.
* AwesomeYetImpractical: They are strictly better than Psi-Corps Troopers or Yuri clones due to their ability to destroy buildings, preventing them from being sitting ducks if they mind controlled an enemy unit, and become significantly better when Elite thanks to doubled range. However, to train Psi Commandos, you need to take a Spy to infiltrate a Battle Lab, a highly-protected building. In ''Yuri's Revenge'' this is accentuated as it's practically impossible to infiltrate a Yuri Battle Lab because all psychic units and buildings see through disguises. By the point you can infiltrate one, you've practically won the game.
* CharmPerson: Psi Commandos are capable of mind controlling enemy units.
* CloningBlues: Implied as regular Psi-Corps Troopers are Yuri clones, and the C4 charges are the only difference between both units.
* CompositeCharacter: Combines the mind-control ability of the Psi-Corps Trooper with the [=C4=] charges of NAVY [=SEALs=].
* PsychicPowers: Mostly MindControl type, though it also utilizes some form of MindOverMatter for its anti-infantry psi-blast ability.
* StuffBlowingUp: They can use their [=C4=] charges to quickly demolish enemy structures.

!!!Lasher Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Armored Assault\\
'''Weapons''': Light Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Prepare for your lashes!"

The Lasher tank was the Main Battle tank of Yuri's faction. The trademark of this tank was it has a grinder in front of it and can crush units just like the other main battle tank.

* FragileSpeedster: Statistically identical to the Grizzly Tank (except for the Lasher's projectile travelling faster)
* OrnamentalWeapon: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged]] with their grinders. They can [[CarFu crush infantry]] with those grinders, but they crush the same units as other starter tanks, which lack said grinders.
* StartingUnits: Yuri players start with Lashers, though more can't be built without a War Factory.
* TankGoodness: The Lasher Tank specializes at speed, using a large group of lasher tanks, it is capable of ambushing enemies. It posses speed that it can travel to any terrain with ease.

!!!Chaos Drone
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Drone\\
'''Role''': Combat Support\\
'''Weapons''': Hallucinogenic Gas\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
Chaos drones are unmanned vehicles that are capable of deploying hallucinogenic gases that will confuse affected enemy units, causing them to force friendly fires units or buildings with greater firepower and speed.

* AttackDrone: Can cause enemies that are exposed to their gas to attack friendly units.
* FragileSpeedster: Very fast and frail, and lack any firepower whatsoever, their HatePlague being their only defense.
* HatePlague: Or to be more exact, the gas causes units affected by it to prioritize targeting friendlies over targeting foes, with an [[UnstoppableRage extra helping of doubled rate of fire]].
* MechaMooks: Completely automated and do not require any kind of remote control.

!!!Gatling Tank
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Anti-Air/Anti-Infantry\\
'''Weapons''': Gatling Guns\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Let the bullets fly!"

The Gatling tanks was the anti-aircraft and anti-personnel vehicles of Yuri's faction. It attacks with twin gatling cannons which will speed up as they attack a target. The faster they fire, the more damage is dealt.

* AntiAir: They serve as the only anti-air units for Yuri's army.
* DirtyCoward: They certainly like to dish out punishment at long range but flee at the first whiff of a counterattack.
* GatlingGood: A mobile version of the Gatling Gun emplacement. They fire a steady stream of bullets that sped up the longer the gun fires on a single target.
* MoreDakka: The longer a Gatling Tank fires, the faster the rattling guns spin. Eventually, the sheer number of bullets firing shred through almost anything, regardless of how durable it is. Veterancy makes their guns reach maximum speed much earlier.
* TanksButNoTanks: The Gatling Tank actually bears more resemblance to light vehicles than tanks, being too lightly armoured to fight again heavy armour tank.

!!!Magnetron
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Anti-Vehicle\\
'''Weapons''': Magnetic Beam\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Let's bring them closer to us!"

When deployed against vehicles, this unique weapon unleashes a powerful magnetic force that levitates the enemy vehicle, pulling it toward Yuri's forces where it can be mind controlled with impunity. Additionally, the Magnetron can deal significant damage to structures by firing an intense magnetic beam at buildings. The main drawback of the Magnetron is that it is virtually defenseless against enemy infantry, having no effective weapon against them and no way to drag them closer.

* CarFu: Magnetrons can lift vehicles and potentially drop them on top of another vehicle, or a building. This destroys the former vehicle, and deals great damage to the second target. It is particularly dangerous against Chrono and War Miners, as they can drop them on their refineries, destroying both the miner ''and'' the refinery.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Magnetrons is excel against structures, and play a supporting role against vehicles with a kind of tractor beam (and are lethal against Naval units if the Magnetron manages to latch onto one, since it can drag it to dry land), but do not harm infantry at all and can't actually harm vehicles directly (unless they manage to drop them over water).
* DifficultButAwesome: On the face of it they seem to have limited use, but can be used cleverly as very powerful weapons: pick up a ship and drop it on land (or pick up a vehicle and drop it in water) as an insta-kill, pick up an ore miner as it unloads in its refinery and then immediately drop it to destroy both miner and refinery, etc...
* GlassCannon: The Magnetron outranges most base defenses, can OneHitKill vehicles by dropping them into the right location and has a particularly dangerous combination with Gatling Tanks (lifted vehicles count as airborne, and Gatling Tanks deal more damage to airboene units). However, even for artillery unit standards, the Magnetron is very frail, being destroyed by Tank Destroyers in one hit.
* OneHitKill: Magnetrons can use the environment itself to destroy any non-flying vehicle in one hit. Lifting a ground vehicle into water will sink it; lifting a ship into ground will destroy it, and so will any vehicle that is dropped into a cliff.
* PaletteSwap: The Magnetron's beam appears to be a recolored version of the Disruptor tank's sonic beam in ''Tiberian Sun''.
* SiegeEngines: The Magnetron's weapon outranges most base defenses and is strong against buildings. The AI uses Magnetrons almost entirely for this purpose, and rarely, if ever, levitating enemy vehicles to leave them helplesss.
* SupportPartyMember: The Magnetron is helpless against infantry and aircraft. Realistically, Magnetrons themselves cannot harm units. They may only attack one unit at a time, so swarming them with a group of tanks may also be effective. Guardian [=GIs=] and Tesla troopers are a particular threat to it, since they are both anti-tank specialists. Magnetrons are also incapable of squishing infantry. However, Magnetrons are effective in one other way: tanks and ships levitated by it are vulnerable to anti-air attack, so it is wise to accompany Magnetrons with Gatling tanks. Magnetrons can also be used, under certain circumstances, to move other vehicles over otherwise impassable gaps, such as cliffs, quickly.

!!!Slave Miner
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Mobile Refinery\\
'''Role''': Resource Gathering\\
'''Weapons''': Machine Gun/Cannon\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory/Construction Yard]
-->"This ore belongs to Yuri!"

Slave miner was the ore collector of Yuri's faction, it collects ore with the use of its slaves. It can be moved anywhere and convenient to use. Armed with a sentry gun like War miner. Despite there size, they do appear to be quite fast, and since the ore refinery part travel's around with it, it is a nice way to gain those credit's without the need of the waste of more to build a new refinery.

* BaseOnWheels: Basically a vehicle that - rather than gathering ore itself and returning it to a refinery like the other factions - deploys itself near a patch of ore and sends out slaves to mine it. The individual slaves carry much less ore than the other miners can, but the turnaround between heading out, mining, and returning their payload to the refinery to be processed is much shorter, especially since the refinery can just be relocated to a fresh patch of ore after mining an area clear, especially allowing for fast cash when they can find the more valuable gems.
* LargeHam
-->"''DIG! '''DIG!'''''"
-->"WE NEED '''MORE!!'''"
-->"DEFEND THE ORE!!!!"
* MobileFactory: Each slave miner carried five slaves to the nearest ore field where they started collecting ore and bringing it back to the miner where it was refined right away and turned into cash.
* NoSell: Can't be infected by Terror Drones.
* RegeneratingHealth: When mobile, damaged Slave Miners auto-repair.
* SlaveMooks: It's a mobile ore refinery which travels to ore fields and has slaves come out and shovel ore into it. When the refinery is destroyed, the miners will defect to your side, but seeing as how they're emaciated, shirtless, and armed only with shovels, they're roughly on par with the Technician unit from the early Command & Conquer games (unless they somehow reach Elite). Freed slaves have a couple of uses, however: they can't be mind-controlled, meaning they can quite easily take out Yuri Clones with their shovels, and another Yuri player can garrison them for free Bio Reactor boosts.
* StoneWall: Slave Miners carry the same weapon as soviet War Miners, so they have minimal self-protection. On the other hand, Slave Miners are ridiculously tough, having twice the health of other miners. A Slave Miner can even defeat a Tank Destroyer one-on-one thanks to its massive durability.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Being a mobile ore refinery does give the Slave Miner advantages such as not requiring power, immunity to Terror Drones, credits recollection not being slowed by distance from the base, or being able to deploy two at the same time (from both the Construction Yard and the War Factory), but this also carries some serious issues:
** Being both a unit and a refinery gives the Slave Miner both of their flaws: as it's a unit, it can't be repaired even when deployed (and Yuri does not have even Service Depots to repair them, so it needs Engineers or mind-controlled [=IFVs=] to repair it) making it rely on its RegeneratingHealth; as it's a refinery, Spies can infiltrate them to steal credits when deployed (requiring the Yuri player to bring Clones to protect Miners from Spies), and Navy [=SEALs=] can blow them up with C4 Charges while deployed as well.
** Since the actual ore gatherer is an infantry unit, specialized anti-infantry units such as Desolators, Navy SEALS, Snipers or Viruses can cripple a Yuri player's economy by preventing Slaves from every bringing the ore to a Slave Miner. Viruses are particularly dangerous as they can not only kill Slaves (and any other infantry support such as Yuri Clones) but the toxic clouds left by their victims can kill several Slaves in short order.
* WeWillUseManualLaborInTheFuture: Even though Yuri has genetic manipulation and mind control technology, his ore collectors are slaves. However, consider that Yuri is a madman, and the Slave Miner's driver lampshades the act by saying "Slaves are cheap!". It also gives the other two nations even more reasons to fight Yuri, and freeing the slaves is actually possible.
* WorkerUnit: Gathers ore and gem to facilitate the player's economy.

!!!Mastermind
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Vehicle\\
'''Role''': Psychic Support\\
'''Weapons''': Mind Control\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Time for a brain storm!"

Another extension of Yuri's mind control technology, the Master Mind vehicle is capable of safely mind controlling a large group of enemy units at a time. However, this unit can't stop itself from mind controlling additional enemy units. Exceeding its unit limit causes the device to break down and selfdestruct, releasing all of its formerly captured units.

* BrainInAJar: Or brain conglomerate in a vehicle, in this case.
* CharmPerson: Master Minds are capable of mind controlling enemy units.
* ExplosiveOverclocking: If the Master Mind controls too many units at once, its health will steadily decrease until the controlled units or the Master Mind itself die.
* HypnoticCreature: A giant conglomerate of brains that can mind control enemies.
* TheMinionMaster: A variation, as they do not create units but can mind control multiple enemy units at a time.
* SapientTank: The Mastermind is this, just that it controls enemy units. It is mentioned that it is a brain on wheels.
* SpitefulAI: The Mastermind takes damage if it mind controls too many units and when it happens, it will happily push forward and MindRape as many units as it can regardless of this until it is destroyed.
* StoneWall: Slow and heavily-armored, able to drive through a group of Apocalypse Tanks and mind-control them before being destroyed, but can't attack units.
* TankGoodness: This is a giant [[BrainInAJar brain in a tank]] that {{Brainwashe|d}}s ''any'' enemy organic ground units that get too close. [[ExplosiveOverclocking Which can backfire]] [[CastFromHitPoints if it controls too many.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: ZergRush. With their heavy armor and love for mind-controlling anything that moves, it's easier to overload them than to destroy them.

!!!Floating Disc
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Aircraft\\
'''Role''': Close Air Support/Resource Acquirement\\
'''Weapons''': Laser & Transport Beam\\
'''Trained at:''' War Factory]
-->"Yuri's collection agency"

The weirdest aircraft in Yuri's Revenge, it was inspired in Hollywood movies thanks to Yuri. This aircraft can wreak havoc from air, land and surface of the water.

* BanditMook: Floating Discs can can siphon credits from an opponent once it hovers above an enemy refinery.
* CripplingOverspecialization: While they can shut down a base, they actually cannot damage it. Their lasers are not very effective against vehicles, as well. This requires any anti-air vehicle to be destroyed before even trying to attack with Floating Discs.
* EnergyAbsorption: If placed over an enemy Power Plant, the Floating Disc immediately powers down the entire base. A Floating Disc placed over any defensive structure that requires power effectively shuts off that structure as well.
* EnergyWeapon: That can meltdown infantry like Desolator.
* FlyingSaucer: Yuri must love his sci-fi B-movies (as General Carville suggests) if he takes design cues from the flying saucers in them.

!!!Boomer
[floatboxright:
'''Type''': Naval\\
'''Role''': Anti-Shipping/Long-Range Shore Bombardment\\
'''Weapons''': Torpedoes & Ballistic Missiles\\
'''Trained at:''' Submarine Pen]
-->"Let the missiles fly!"

Like Soviet Typhoon Subs, the Boomer is a stealth unit, capable of closing in on an enemy position without being spotted. Against other naval foes, the Boomer is capable of launching deadly torpedoes. However, it is their ballistic missiles, which are used against land targets, that make the Boomer such a deadly foe.

* CoolBoat: Boomers is a Master of All submarine that was available from tier 1 and can both fight well in ship-to-ship engagements and serve as a heavy anti-ground artillery unit with its long-range ballistic missiles, all while costing the same as and being available much earlier than the artillery ships of the other factions.
* {{Expy}}: Boomers are essentially a beefed up, more durable version of the Soviet Missile Subs from the ''Aftermath'' expansion of ''Red Alert 1''. However, Boomers also have a torpedo attack like the Typhoon Sub, making it far more versatile and dangerous.
* FakeBalance: As strong as two Soviet Typhoon Subs. As strong as a Soviet Dreadnought, with the advantage it can sneak into enemy positions as it moves underwater. It is available at Tier 2, giving it the ability to dominate the seas before the enemy can send appropriate competition.
* MasterOfAll: They have all the advantages of a standard submarine and have torpedoes that are only a little less damaging individually than the Typhoon Attack Sub's, but the Boomer fires two of them compared to the Typhoon's one. In addition they fire ballistic missiles that are only a bit less effective than the ones on a Dreadnought, and Boomers had even more health. Yuri has a really tough unit that dominates the water, can only be affected by certain attacks unless detected, and launch devastating siege attacks on enemy units and buildings. The only thing it doesn't do is dealing with aircraft.
* MightyGlacier: It's slow, but in addition to being stealth artillery unit, it's also the strongest ship in the game.
* {{Roboteching}}: When they were facing away from their target. It would make more sense if they tracked...
* SiegeEngines: Can launch ballistic missiles at land target from quite a big distance.
* StealthyColossus: Courtesy of the Boomer being a large submarine.

** Oh, and yeah, they are also {{Keet}}s and [[TheDitz Ditzes]], I mean, you won't expect someone to say "We march to victory" when facing an entire batallion of far better enemy soldiers or "They have television in there?" when garrisoning a building in the middle of a warzone.

* SweetHomeAlabama: The polites all have thick southern accents and are all [[NiceGuy Nice Guys]].
