Soviet Army

The Soviet Army is the main land-based branch of Soviet Armed Forces. It will serve as the main antagonist army in many Army Wars titles, including the first of the series, Army Wars: Red Tide. Prior to February 25th, 1946, this force was known as the Red Army, during the fight against Nazi Germany and its allies during World War II. The Red Army, currently known as the Soviet Army, was established to protect the population, territorial integrity and civil liberties in the territory of the Soviet state. It is rivaled with the United States Army.
