Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
Development of the Su-34 began in the 1980s, when the Soviet leadership identified the need for a heavy fighter-bomber in response to the European Tornado and the upcoming American F-15E Strike Eagle. What followed was a drawn out and complicated process from the first flight in 1990 to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and subsequent disruption of Russian military funding, to its eventual introduction to service in 2011.
Essentially a super-sized cousin of the Su-27 fighter, the aircraft features an unusually spacious cockpit in which the two pilots sit side by side, allowing for direct communication, standing up and even sleeping breaks during extended flights. Intended for a long range strike role, the Su-34 can be equipped with a wide variety of weapons, including many types of air-to-ground, anti-ship and cruise missiles deployed at stand-off distance to destroy enemy air defences, fortifications and key facilities.
In the late 2030s, a new variant entered service: The Su-34K (K for "korabelniy", meaning "ship-based") was specifically designed for the Russian Navy, featuring a reinforced undercarriage and arrestor hook for use on a new class of aircraft carrier. The K designation earned this variant the unofficial monicker of Kanyuk, or buzzard. The Kanyuk quickly became a commercial success, with orders from India, Turkey and Brazil.
During the opening attacks of Russia's invasion of Europe in 2045, carrier-launched Kanyuks delivered strikes against European ports, airfields and other strategic infrastructure throughout Scandinavia and the Mediterranean. However, with the entry of the United States into the war three years later, the seas quickly became indefensible for the Russian Navy. Following the sinking of its two carriers in the European theatre, the few surviving Kanyuks were recalled to inland airbases and reserved for high-value targets. As a result, commanders can only call upon a limited number of Kanyuks at any given time.

Couldn't fit it in because of the character limit, lol
Noted about the limited number of Kanyuks!
Indeed. You can have maximum 4 at a time
Russian Airfield = holds 3 jets
Kanyuk build limit = 4
Oh no its like trying to equal out getting hotdogs and buns all over again
