MiG

The Mikoyan Project 1.44 is armed with two ammunition units worth of incendiary missiles.

A Chinese Helix in Zero Hour

Exclusive to Zero Hour, the Helix heavy-lift helicopter is a grossly-oversized Kamov Ka-27 capable of transporting even the mighty Overlord Tanks across the map.

• Bunker: A combat bunker which allows infantry units inside the Helix to fire on enemy units in safety.
• Speaker Tower: Horn speaker array that broadcasts propaganda, allowing all friendly units nearby the ability to regenerate damage.

In addition to these upgrades, each Helix can be armed with napalm gravity bombs that it simply drops straight-down onto a target, making this unit useful for incinerating enemy ground forces and structures. ...

Cargo Plane

Chinese cargo planes are seemingly modified Antonov tactical airlifters and are completely similar to their American conterparts in terms of what roles they perform. In the default game setting, they ferry paratroopers to their target zone (solo play and Infantry General only), help deploy land mines, and drop electromagnetic pulse bombs. Private Antonov AN-2 in the UK Antonov, aka Antonov Aeronautical Scientific/Technical Complex (Antonov ASTC) (Ukrainian: ) is a Ukraine-based (since 1952) aircraft manufacturing and services company (design office prefix An) with particular expertise in the field of very large aircraft construction. ...

Bomber

A Chinese bomber in Zero Hour

Exclusive to Zero Hour, China has apparently acquired the B-52 Stratofortress and uses it to perform tactical carpet bombing. To offset its huge damage potential, the aircraft flies very slowly in order to give the enemy a chance to try and shoot it down.
