Infiltration

Infiltration is an ability in the franchise. Units with this ability are called Infiltrators.
== Overview ==
Specific infantry units can be commanded to infiltrate an enemy building, resulting in various effects such as stealing credits, disabling the building, or causing a temporary blackout across the entire base. Although the exact impact varies from one game to another, the common factor is that the unit becomes unretractable and permanently lost once the infiltration succeeds. Infiltrators typically carry out their missions using various techniques of stealth and disguise.

Infiltration in Red Alert 2 and its expansion has the following effects:
