While sanctions placed on the Soviet Union after the Second Great War prevented them from building up a proper air force (aside from the above-mentioned Kirov), one of their first actions in the Third Great War was to seize American jet technology for their own purposes. After reverse-engineering, they were able to create the Foxtrot, a fast jet bomber that launches incendiary missiles at both the primary target and a random nearby enemy.

"Crazy Ivan" is the code name given to Soviet demolition experts, trained using an unconventional "trial-by-fire" method that is somehow effective at weeding out unskilled demomen. The harrowing experience has led to them being rather eager to rid themselves of their explosives, which they will gladly strap onto anything to turn it into a ticking time bomb.

Tesla Troopers are an advanced anti-tank infantry, available for deployment once a Field Bureau is constructed. They shoot bolts of electricity which can break apart a vehicle's armor quite handily, and aren't too shabby against infantry either. Additionally, their protective suits keep them safe from enemy dog attacks, as well as being sturdy enough to resist getting crushed by tanks.
Due to Russia's expertise in Tesla technology, their soldiers are able to be equipped with more advanced Tesla suits. These "Shock Troopers" have a much higher voltage than their normal counterparts, giving their Tesla cannons much greater range as well as the ability to arc to a nearby target.

Desolators are among the strongest Soviet infantry units, and also the most terrifying. These psychotic soldiers utilize rad cannons that fire ''concentrated radiation'' which can melt infantry in seconds and cook vehicle operators from the inside out. They can also fire their rad cannons ''into the ground'' to create an instant wasteland, melting ''everything'' that is not protected from radioactive materials.
Due to their research into nuclear technology, China's Eradicators use even deadlier rad cannons which are ambiently hazardous to enemy units nearby, and can create a larger "dead zone" upon deploying.

Equipped with a pair of flak cannons to take on the air and a machine gun to fire upon infantry, Halftracks are a multipurpose vehicle used for transport, anti-air, and anti-infantry. Russian forces utilize the armored Tigr APC instead, which moves slower but can carry more troops and has better armor.
Added DiffLines:
The Terror Drone was a pre-war Allied project to reverse engineer the cybernetic frame of the Soviet hound, Chitzkoi. During the raid on the Ukrainian lab, Boris and Morales were able to recover its schematics, putting this robotic menace back in the hands of the Soviet Union. Terror Drones may be fragile, but their sharp claws are capable of tearing through flesh and armor alike.

Borillos are an amphibious transport equipped with flamethrowers and advanced sensors, useful for assaulting bases and conveying troops in a fraction of the time it would take to walk. China utilizes a heavier Armadillo transport with even ''deadlier'' flamethrowers.

This monstrous war machine represents the pinnacle of Chinese might. Armed with the biggest artillery cannon China can get to move, missile launchers for anti-air, as well as having room for up to three passengers; it is an incredibly versatile weapon that can shrug off almost anything the enemy can throw at it, before obliterating them in return.
Added DiffLines:
In order to counter the Allies' air superiority, Soviet Saboteurs are able to steal their jet technology in order to develop the engines necessary to propel heavy anti-air missiles. These missiles are carried into battle via Soviet missile platforms known as Grumbles, which once stationed, create an effective no-fly zone. One hit from a missile is enough to shoot down any jet.
Added DiffLines:
The Apocalypse Tank is truly war in a can. Anything you could possibly want (anti-infantry, anti-armor, infantry support, anti-air) will be answered by the Apocalypse, and then some. The only reason they are not fielded in every conflict is that they are simply ''way'' too expensive for practical logistics to support; even then, you will find many Soviet commanders have an Apocalypse or two hidden in their base...
Added DiffLines:
* TankGoodness: The only vehicle that can rival the Apocalypse in size is the Last Bastion's Mastodon tank. Even then, the Apocalypse tank has it beat in sheer versatility, being useful for supporting a variety of strategies that a Soviet commander could employ.

Notably, the Syckle doesn't strictly employ Epsilon technology, but rather adapts their tactics (specifically that of Scorpion Cell) to Soviet military equipment. Armed with twin rad cannons and a state-of-the-art portable Iron Curtain, they are the embodiment of hit-and-run. Just don't get caught with your pants down, because it cannot take a straight-up fight.
Added DiffLines:
Iron Dragons are the product of Yunru's experiments with Iron Curtain technology, utilizing the mechanics behind the normally defensive ability to create an artillery gun with unparalleled offensive power. The unstable kinetic fields created by an Iron Dragon's attack is capable of tearing any unit, be they infantry or vehicle, to shreds.

Another starting Tier 1 unit, Flak Troopers serve as the basic anti-armor and anti-air infantry for all Soviet factions. Despite being significantly more expensive than Conscripts, they're still far cheaper than other factions' equivalents (barring Epsilon with their Cloning Vats).
