The Cosmonaut is a special trooper trained to fight in the hard vacuum of space during the Third World War. It is a campaign-exclusive unit, appearing only in the Soviet mission To the Moon.

Background
Edit
| “ | Russian space ace! - Confident cosmonaut | ” |
The Moon mission is executed with heavy consideration of the extreme condition encountered there. The combination of low gravitation (hindering the use of projectile weapon) and vacuum space (ban almost all of air potency) gave the commander a total consideration on his own force. Although most vehicles can be modified for operation, infantry can't (except for the Iraq Desolators). The second consideration took the commander's view to the old, underfunded, and next to forgotten Soviet space program, including their cosmonauts. Bearing that in mind, the Commander brought the project under his command and thus the cosmonaut come back on line.
Soviet Cosmonauts are equipped with all the necessary life support equipment to survive outside Earth's atmosphere and a jet pack not unlike those used by Allied Rocketeers, which allows them to travel very quickly around the battlefield. They are equipped with a high-powered laser, making them very effective against other cosmonauts and light vehicles, as well as (in groups of five or more) armoured tanks, aircraft (or space craft) and structures.
The colour of the beam is determined by the faction the cosmonaut belongs to (i.e. red for Soviets, purple for Yuri). They are vulnerable to any anti-aircraft weaponry. In large numbers, though, they are more than capable of turning any attack force or base to dust in a matter of seconds. A cosmonaut costs 600 credits to train, same as the Allied Rocketeer.
Game unitEdit
In Operation To the Moon, Cosmonauts are available for training at the Soviet Barracks (and are the only type of infantry the commander can train apart from Desolators). Yuri fields his own corps of Cosmonauts to defend his Lunar HQ against the Soviet offensive.
They are not available in any other campaign mission, but they can still be incorporated into any map via INI editing.

TriviaEdit
- Cosmonauts' original name was Lunar Infantry, as seen in rulesmd.ini.
- Their veteran cameo shows Lunar Rocketeer instead of Cosmonaut.
- When Cosmonauts were killed, they fall down instantly instead of falling slowly because of the moon's low gravity.
