Rise of the Reds: Heavy Weapons news

Good evening, this is Alessandra Marques bringing you a BOND News update.

Several Chinese oil rigs were attacked today. They were raided by teams of men on small inflatable boats. The attack was synchronized and the men managed to subdue the workers. Before the Chinese navy could react, the rigs were blown up causing a massive ecological disaster and ceased the production of billions worth of petroleum barrels. Chinese officials declared this as an act of terrorism and stated that finding the culprits would be their first priority.

Heated arguments put an end to the Eurasian Summit. The meeting was considered a catastrophic failure by observers. China was unpleased with the removal of Chinese bases which had been installed in the Eurasian War, when the Global Liberation Army caused much conflict in the continent. European officials responded those bases were no longer necessary. Right after the summit, China cut diplomatic relations with the European Union, putting an end to what could've been a massively powerful alliance.

Conflict escalated in northeastern Africa as fighting broke out between rival factions at the Algerian/Libyan border. Two rival warlords put the whole region into turmoil as they fought over territory and resources. Damage to both factions are said to be heavy and local governments accomplished very little interfering. Recently, a cease fire was declared between both factions and the leaders are currently meeting at an unknown location within Egypt. It has been confirmed Warlord Sulaymaan, a mysterious entity wanted by both Western and African authorities, will be overseeing the event.

The commodity market boom that has been sending South American and African stock markets soaring for the past 30 years has been considered troublesome. Many dangerous African factions have been profiting from this and are becoming a bigger threat as ever with global arms sales on the rise. African leaders have been incapable so far to deal with these threats and are starting to look for assistance outside the continent.

The Pennsylvania space station will be completed tonight, marking the beginning of a golden age for space exploration as the station's main purpose is to function as a hub for space research and travel. Over fifty countries were involved in the project as as many as one hundred astronauts are on board. This orbital facility is scheduled to grow as as more parts and personnel are delivered from Earth. Experts declared the Pennsylvania will be closest thing to a city humanity has built in outer space.

Economic recession has been crippling the U.S economy for months now. Stock markets have been tumbling to never before seen levels. Much of this is blamed on the U.S government's isolationism and the shortage of resources for American industries. Unemployment and crime has seen a major rise in the country. A violent riot was held today in Washington D.C over the government's ineptitude to control the crisis. Several protesters were hospitalized after the clash with the police.

That marks the end of our update. This is Alessandra Marques reporting live from Brazil and the South American Union. Good night.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So, let us start with the Media Renders, shall we?

First, we have here the Werewolf!

This flying Beast is a Tank Driver's greatest Nightmare. Not only does it enact anti-armor missiles to deal with tanks quickly, it is also capable of mowing infantry down with it's heavy machine guns.

Next is the feared Blackshark Assault Helicopter. Beware!

This single seat assault helicopter variant is only used by Orlov's elite helicopter pilots. The Blackshark is able to perform strafing maneuvers to utilize its heavy machine gun and anti-armor missiles. Unlike the "Hokum" variant, the Blackshark is equipped with enhanced engines and equipment and is coated with a jet black paint job.

And now, one classic Weaponsystems wich the Russians are very proud of: The ferocious Tesla-Coil!

Infantry, Light Vehicles or Tanks - it doesn't matter because the Tesla-Coil is capable of reducing all enemy Ground Units to ashes within Seconds. It fires Electric Charges with over 10.000 Jigga Watts ( Don't ask me how much that is, let me just tell you it's alot! ). Tesla-Coils have a great Range and every enemy Ground Unit should avoid them at all costs.

Last, but not least, the ECA Lynx Transport.

The ECA Forces use the Lynx as their main transport unit to carry their Infantry across the Battlefield. It is capable of carrying 6 - 8 Soldiers. It's speed is decent and it enacts medium armor, don't get cross one of those or you'll experience pain.
