This attack outranges all defensive structures except the Grand Cannon. Finally, the number of MiGs varies depending on Boris' veterancy level: Boris can call 2 MiGs while non-veteran, 3 MiGs when veteran, and 4 MiGs when elite. If the MiGs are downed, another squadron will be called after a short delay. If he is moved or killed before the structure is destroyed, the MiGs turn back. In this state, he can not fire while maintaining the pointer. He will keep pointing at the structure until it is destroyed, or he is moved elsewhere or killed. When ordered to attack buildings, Boris uses a laser pointer to call a MiG airstrike from a randomly chosen edge of the map. This weapon also dealt an appreciable amount of damage to vehicles for some degree of anti-tank capacity despite its anti-infantry nature.
Boris is very accurate and can dispatch most infantry with a single burst of fire from medium range. He became more prominent in the second iteration of the war in the non-canonical Soviet campaign of Yuri's Revenge, participating in capturing the Allied time machine in San Francisco and liberating Allied troops in London, destroying psychic dominators in both instances.īoris is equipped with a specially designed AKM assault rifle, the successor to the AK-47 that Soviet rifle infantry wielded in the Second World War. Little is known about Boris' early history, other than that he was formidable enough on the battlefield to become a hero of the Soviet Union in unseen events prior to the first iteration of the Third World War.
