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.
The Supply Drone is the latest variant of a robotic vehicle originally developed by a team of Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center as a ground-based alternative to the MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor and CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter, particularly for distances where it would be uneconomical to utilize aircraft or in environments where there is a significant hostile SAM/AAA presence. It is a fully autonomous six-wheeled vehicle capable of travel over rough terrain and a maximum speed of 42 km/h. The drone can carry up to 3,600 kg of cargo and features a hybrid electric-hydrogen fuel cell engine, an electronic suspension, and a hull made of an aluminium-titanium alloy. Widely used throughout the US military and a particular favourite with special forces, airborne and Marine units, the Supply Drone has not only distinguished itself as a key logistical asset during counter-guerrilla operations in Africa and Latin America, but also played a role in a number of disaster relief and humanitarian missions.

Expanding the USA's drone arsenal, eh?
And are these Supply Drones resource gatherers?
They are indeed. They are a ground based supply collection option for if your supplies are getting camped by anti-air.
love the ideea. especially when youre against a player harassing your supplies with antiaircraft guns from distance
Or the instances of Jarmen Kell shooting off an unspoofable MANPADS at my supply helos.
So basically it's like the China Supply Truck then, not a bad way to go to avoid those annoying extended AA-ranges that ai-controlled units/defense structures LOVE to exploit. heh :>
Don't forget the cheapass Jarmen Kell unavoidable/unspoofable/unlaserable Stinger attack!
