Sentry gun (Red Alert 2)

The Sentry Gun was an Soviet defense structure that was introduced during Third World War and remained in service during the Psychic Dominator Disaster. It was built as a Soviet equivalent to the Allied pill box.
==Background ==
During the Second World War, the USSR Flame Towers as static anti-infantry defenses. After the conflict ended, the USSR stopped the use of flame weaponry, and used Sentry Guns instead. The Sentry Gun was redesigned in the Third World War's third iteration.
==Game building==
The Sentry Gun provides a baseline defense against infantry and light vehicles, and, unlike the Tesla Coil, remains operational at low power. However, it is not a cost-effective defense against heavy vehicles, and cannot fire at airborne targets.
