The V-35 Ox is a multipurpose VTOL aircraft of the GDI, designed after the Second Tiberium War to replace the aging Orca Carryall and provide air transport for infantry. It features tandem seating with the pilot in back and co-pilot in front similar to the attack helicopter of the 20th century. It came into use shortly after the Firestorm Crisis.
The craft was equipped with powerful VTOL engines which coupled with an aerodynamic frame gave it the ability to fly at high speeds and deliver ordnance to the battlefield in minutes. It also has a refueling probe at the front to extened its range. It is primarily used for ferrying squads of infantry and smaller vehicles, such as the Surveyor, Pitbull or the APC, although it is fully capable of lifting the 65-ton MBT-6 Predator should the need arise. It has performed its role flawlessly.
Unfortunately, the aerodynamic frame forced the engineers to limit the amount of plating on the Ox. As such, it is very susceptible to anti-aircraft weaponry. It also cannot carry any of GDI's heaviest vehicles such as Rigs, Juggernauts, Behemoths, MARVs and Mammoth Tanks.
