Lasher tank

"Prepare for your lashes!"

- Lasher

The Lasher Light Tank was the basic vehicle unit of Yuri's forces. The Lasher, like most of Yuri's units, was mounted on a narrow chassis. Unlike most of Yuri's vehicles, the Lasher was a conventional tank. Mounted on the top was a light cannon, fairly effective against vehicles and buildings, but ineffective against infantry. The Lasher was equipped with a frontal drum-shaped, spiked cylinder, designed presumably to remove sandbags. However, the Lasher was indeed a light tank, and could not stand much punishment - yet was equal to that of an Allied Grizzly. The Lasher, like most Yuri vehicles, could enter a tank bunker to supplement its weak armor. Due to its fairly low price, it was easy to mass produce and overwhelm the more expensive tanks of the Soviets, for example.

The Lasher light tank is vulnerable to all air units, and to uncrushable and anti tank infantry, such as Tesla troopers, Guardian GIs and rogue Brutes. Lasher tanks could also be mind controlled by rogue Yuri Clones.

The Lasher is the same as the Grizzly tank, except the Lasher's gun projectile moves faster.

In the data files, the Lasher replaced the Light tank (Red Alert 2).
