The Shock Trooper was an elite infantry unit of the USSR in the Great World War II, with most of them serving as Stalin's Elite Guard.
The Shock Trooper was equipped with a portable Tesla coil, essentially a backpack generator with a lightning rod. He wore heavy armour that isolated electricity and prevented vehicles from crushing him. The troopers were used as special forces units and as pacification squads, evident when they were deployed to obliterate several villages that were deemed unfaithful to communist Russia.
The troopers often made bad puns and jokes about their electrical equipment.
With the general phasing out of Tesla weapons, the portable coil ceased being used after GWIII.
