This four wheeled scout car is about as strong as a BTR, but faster. Tankers, watch out for the ATGM version!

The oldest BTR in RHS, the BTR-60 sports a 14.5mm KPVT and a 7.62 PKT. The 60 is short and stocky, and can be penetrated 12.7mm and can be disabled by destroying the wheels.

The longer and uglier version of the BTR-60, the 70 has the same armament and weaknesses as the former.

The difference between the 80 and 70 is negligible. The 80 has smoke canisters mounted on the back of the turret for self defense.

The 80's younger brother, the 80A has an auto cannon, as well as a coaxial PKT. If you come up against this guy, find hard cover and engage when it is distracted. The auto cannon is deadly.

The newest edition to the BTR family, the 90 is a lethal weapons platform. Sitting on top of a modernized BTR chassis rests 2 ATGM launchers and a 30MM 2A42 auto cannon. Odds are that the crew of this vehicle will see you before you see them, so stay alert.

A favorite of extremist groups and the Soviet reserve armies, the T-55 is a clunky piece of hardware. It's cannon is outdated and it can easily be knocked out by a LAT. RATs be warned, this dinosaur still has a coaxial PKT machinegun.

Don't let age deceive you, this old man packs a punch. Armed with a cannon capable of firing AP, HE-FRAG, and APFDS, the T-72 is a classic force to be reckoned with. The 72 has a loud growling diesel engine. Recommend you get MAT/HAT, but it can be knocked out by an AT-4 to the rear.

A look back to the old days of rounded turrets, the T-80 is a common sight on our virtual battlefields. The cannon and coax are the same as the T-72. Note the flipped T-80 in the background, this tank is a speed demon! It's speed comes from it's whiny turbine engine. It sounds more like a jet than a tank. Get MAT/HAT to handle this one.

The Russians mixed the T-80 and T-72 to make this monster. Armed with a CROWS NSVT and a devastating cannon, the 90 will ruin any tankers day. It has an improved diesel engine so it has a loud, ominous growl. MAT/HAT recommended.

This ungainly beast is a favorite for the Russians. It has many different variants, from transport to the feared “Rocket Hip.” If you see one in the air, send it up the chain and watch out for the door gunners!

Often seen escorting Hips or running CAS, the Hind is the Russian answer to the NATO AH-64 Apache. Note that this is not an attack bird–it is an assault helicopter. The Hind has a passenger compartment that can hold up to eight soldiers. It was designed to level an area with sweeping rocket and gun runs, then deploy specialists such as a MANPAD unit or a team of sharpshooters.

The Alligator is a younger cousin to the better known Ka-50 “Black Shark”. While most commonly used as a scout helicopter, the Ka-52 can act as an attack aircraft. It utilizes it's speed and stability to deliver crucial real-time information, as well as shocking attack runs on enemy combatants.
