Nu ty kozyol! ( Russian: 'Hey, you a**hole' ).So this what they call community service.The flak trooper is more expensive in later patches of the game, and more costly to train than the Javelin.Mines are melee weapons and require the Flak Trooper to close in on the target, at the risk of getting shot or crushed.Their flak cannon is weak against heavy armour and structures.Mines can only be applied vehicles and structures.If an enemy vehicle crushes a Flak Trooper when wielding magnetic mines, they will detonate, damaging the vehicle.Mines inflict more damage than both Javelin's missiles and Tankbuster's plasma shots.Magnetic mines are a good counter to tanks.Effective against vehicles and aircraft, particularly when garrisoned.Even so, they are an essential complement to any infantry attack force. However, they are still very vulnerable to anti-infantry weapons and can be crushed by tanks.

They are cheap, moderately effective anti-tank units and very effective anti-air units, easily equal to the Javelin soldier and superior to the Tankbuster in terms of versatility. They are especially formidable when garrisoned in buildings.

When in this mode, if the Flak Trooper is run over, these mines will detonate, damaging the vehicle. Switches to vehicle mines, that can be placed on vehicles and buildings. As for the cause, Magnetic Mines are a prime suspect. Interestingly, 48% of all Flak Troopers also suffer from hearing damage. 81% of these ex-Flak Troopers re-enlist, entering the Soviet war machine once again as Conscripts. Statistics imply that only about 28% of all Flak Troopers deployed in combat manage to complete their sentences and return as free men. Because of this, they were given the undesirable task of carrying heavy flak cannons and volatile anti-vehicle mines.

Not much is known about the background of the Flak Troopers, other than that they were Gulag inmates who were forced to carry out their sentences on the battlefield.
