A fan for Real life Military equipment ? then this is your mod ! it is a Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge mod that basically imports a lot of RL military hardware from the cold war era in the 60's to the late 2000's while maintaining a lot RA2 aspects like prism, tesla tech and etc. Also, It expands on the original RA2 armor system thanks to ARES in which it creates more roles to create numerous units effectively expanding the complexity of handling an army making it necessary to use mixed arms to counter the various unit types. Also, do note that each country will have some twists in their military equipment that will be more or less similar to their respective RL counterparts. In short: it is a relative to reality fun mod but "a fun mod" is conservative statement.
The LAV-25 Piranha modular light attack vehicle is the allies main platform of choice to answer any threat most specifically at the early stages of any conflict which require rapid response forces to be arrive and act as a stand in until the main heavy cavalry arrive.
Still used by the USMC although when it became an important universally fielded vehicle among the allied forces the US sought to introduce a "modular" set of field upgrades that can be preformed by field crew to meet the situational demands of any objective of different gradients.
Furthermore, if allied field commanders had their hands on soviet technological protocol codes or any protocol codes other for that matter they can adapt said tech to the MLAV and produce an interesting set of results.
