That epic moment when your thief manages to capture the Ukrainian bomb truck and sends it right back to the enemies base!

Do they have an option where you can steal Russian tanks by using a tractor?
Not with tractors, but allied factions can do that with mechanics by capturing destroyed soviet tank husks. This is a worthwhile tactic because the soviets have bigger, more expensive tanks than allies.
Ukrainian bomb track in RA?
Ukraine is one of the two playable Soviet factions in OpenRA. The nuke truck is a unit exclusive to Ukraine.
>The nuke truck is a unit exclusive to Ukraine.

I now see what the creators did there. I didn't think about it when I was a kid.

You,didn't think about it as a kid because the original Red Alert didn't include a nuke truck. Although one of the expansions (Aftermath?) did, it wasn't exclusive to Ukraine.

The nuke truck was made the Ukrainian unique unit only in OpenRA.

There was also a nuke truck in RA2, but it was exclusive to Libya.
This!
Russia and Ukraine were the two Soviet factions in the OG Red Alert
I like this plan. I’m going to try it when I play against my kids next.
