Badger bomber (Red Alert 3)

The Badger-class Bomber is a Soviet bomber which doubles as a transport plane. These heavy bombers may be called in to drop hi-explosive bombs, as well as other heavy payload such as Desolator Bombs. The Soviets also use them to paradrop troops, as was the case with the invasion of Great Britain.
Being a strategic bomber, badger requires a specially built airfield and cannot operate from a field airbase, therefore - field commanders are not given direct control of such planes. Instead it is used to conduct strategic bombings runs and to deliver special support. One of examples of such support is via Desolator bomb calldown option available to Soviet field commanders via Soviet Top Secret Protocols. Also, Soviet black-ops agent Natasha is given authority to paint a target and then call in Badger-class bomber for a deadly precise guided bomb strike. Badger bomber can perform dive bomb maneuver for better accuracy. They also noted of capable to escape above the theater with speed surpassing Allied's Century Bomber. They can also launch Paratroopers if mission required
Technicians beware: the nature of the payload and aircraft fuel means that a loaded, fueled Badger is highly explosive. This is demonstrated in Operation "Circus of Treachery", where a bullet ignites a group of grounded and confiscated Badgers, destroying all nearby Imperial units.
The Badger Bomber can be shot down by a squad of Hydrofoils or squads of Cryo Legionnaires inside a Multigunner Infantry Fighting Vehicle that turns into a Cryo IFV which freezes the bomber's engines making it unable to fly and crashes down as blocks of ice
