Terrorists were Cuban-trained suicide bombers working for the Soviets. These fanatical communists would run towards any building or unit owned by the filthy capitalists and detonate the explosives that they covered themselves in, destroying or heavily damaging the target and killing themselves. This unit may have been responsible for the death of General Carville, though some think that Crazy Ivan was responsible.
Surprisingly, the Cubans found no shortage of loyal communists willing to die for the cause of global revolution. Therefore, terrorists can be trained and armed at low cost. A deadly tactic that Cuban commanders used was to have a Crazy Ivan plant more bombs onto a Terrorist then load them into a Flak Track and drive it into enemy buildings, a quick and deadly attack. Additionally, if Soviet commanders could get their hands on Allied IFVs, they could load Terrorists inside, turning them into a mini nuke truck.
On their own, Terrorists could be picked off by most anti-infantry weapons, especially the British Sniper. When in Flak Tracks Prism Tanks could destroy them at a distance. Terrorists were not very effective against Yuri due to the fact that mind controllers could take over the Terrorist before he could get close enough to the target.
Terrorists are not known to operate in World War III.
