The Sea Scorpion was a Soviet ship that was fast, cheap, somewhat frail, good against aircraft and, in numbers, good against Allied troops and buildings on the shore and Allied ships.

Deployment History
Edit
| “ | Nice day for a cruise... - Sea Scorpion | ” |
The Sea Scorpion was first seen against the Allies in Operation: Deep Sea. They mainly attempted to keep the Allied Harriers from taking off to repel the assault and from Destroyers sinking the Typhoon Attack Subs. It also served at Operation: Fallout as raiding vessels escorting Soviet Dreadnoughts.
| The following is based on the Soviet campaign for Red Alert 2 and some details might contradict canon. |

In the non-canonical Soviet campaign, the Sea Scorpion served as a valuable asset to intercept the Allied Harriers in Operation: Home Front. It served as important AA units in all other missions involving naval deployment.
Game unitEdit
Sea Scorpions can decimate Allied Ospreys, Harriers, Hornets, Rocketeers, and even rogue Kirov airships rapidly with their flak cannon. In numbers, they are a match against a destroyer. With their speed and superb vision range, they can also search the open waters in no time. However, they are relatively frail, so shore defenses or destroyers can pick them off easily. Having no defense against underwater threats also makes them vulnerable to Boomers and Dolphins.
AftermathEdit
In the War of the Three Powers, the Sea Scorpion was replaced (along with the Flak Track) by the amphibious Bullfrog which fulfilled the same role.
AssessmentEdit
ProsEdit
- Stronger firepower than that of the Flak Trooper and Flak Track
- Can decimate anything in the sky when massed.
- Fast and cheap
ConsEdit
- Weak armour
- Useless against other target
- Any Typhoon, Boomer or Destroyer can sink it easily
- Tanya and Navy SEALs can use C4 charges on it.
- Less damage than Allied Aegis Cruiser.
