Total Conflict: Resistance Eastern Airborne Forces adds the Cambridian Airborne Forces research branch. The add-on lets you conduct airborne operations on the global and tactical maps, produce specialized equipment, equip airborne units and use parachute drops to attack from unexpected positions.

Airborne operations

Airborne troops can envelop and destroy enemy forces, carry out sabotage behind enemy lines, and disrupt command, reserves, rear operations and communications. They can also capture or destroy ground-based precision weapons, cover directions and areas, protect open flanks, and block or destroy enemy groups that have broken through. After Cambridia's collapse, the socialist republics inherited these troops, along with their equipment and deployment bases.

Airborne equipment

The branch includes six vehicles:

• ASU-85: an airborne self-propelled artillery vehicle based on the PT-76 amphibious light tank. It served with the Soviet Union's airborne forces from 1959 until the 2S9 Nona-S entered service in the early 1980s. Its angled frontal and side armor protects the crew from small- and medium-caliber armor-piercing shells, and its corrugated hull bottom adds strength. The driver sits in the front-right control compartment; the fighting compartment is in the middle, with the loader and commander to the gun's right and the gunner to its left. A hatch in the bottom provides an emergency exit.
• Typhoon: a multipurpose armored all-terrain vehicle for transporting personnel and cargo. It carries a 12.7 mm tank machine gun and a Kornet missile launch system, and accommodates four soldiers.
• 2S9 Nona: an airborne divisional-regimental self-propelled artillery vehicle designed to help airborne troops sustain a high attack tempo. Its welded armored-aluminum hull is based on the BTR-D, and its 240 hp V-shaped six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine gives it a top speed of 60 km/h. It is armed with a 120 mm rifled howitzer and can be delivered by landing or parachute from AN-12, AN-22 and IL-76 aircraft. Its crew has four members.
• BMD-2: an amphibious tracked combat vehicle designed for airborne troops. It can be delivered by parachute or landing from AN-12, AN-22 and IL-76 military transport aircraft. It carries a 30 mm automatic cannon, a coaxial 7.62 mm PKT machine gun and a Kornet missile launcher. Its 240 hp diesel engine provides cross-country mobility and a top speed of 60 km/h. It carries a two-person crew and five airborne troops.
• BMD-2M: a deeply modified BMD-2 with a 100 mm smoothbore gun, increasing its firepower against tanks and enemy fortifications. It carries three crew members and four troops.
• 2S23: a 120 mm battalion self-propelled artillery vehicle based on the amphibious BTR-80 chassis. It is designed to engage personnel, artillery and mortar batteries, rocket launchers, armored targets, weapons and fortified command posts. It can fire accurately without preparation from both closed positions and directly at targets. Its 260 hp eight-cylinder diesel engine supports road speeds of up to 80 km/h. The four-person crew can parachute inside the vehicle using its parachute system.
