With enemies on every doorstep, the Russians develop a new series of defence weaponry, starting with the Zvukovoy Proyektor turret emplacement.
The Proyektor turret
These Soviet-designed sonic shock cannons are brutally effective against infantry and unprotected vehicle crews, utilising ultra-low frequencies focussed into an energy pulse that behaves like a battering ram they can disrupt most targets they face.
The beam dissipates rapidly through the atmosphere but can disorientate and incapacitate swathes of infantry at a time.
Being in an armoured vehicle offers little to no protection, with the crew highly vulnerable regardless of the armour between them and the firer.
Defend your location!
For the Motherland!
