Ironside experimental troop transport

The Ironside was a large experimental aircraft created by GDI. Intended to be a troop transport, it was essentially a flying wing, much like 20th century American B-2 Spirit bombers. A prototype was being field tested in Blue Zone 8 (Chile), in the same sector where Dr. Alphonse Giraud was located.

During the events of this mission, a prototype of the Ironside was brutally destroyed by a Black Hand strike force sent to capture Giraud.

Trivia

 * The aircraft is likely named for actor Michael Ironside, who played the role of General Jack Granger in Tiberium Wars.
 * The Ironside looks similar to the Vertigo bombers in Tiberian Twilight.
 * A transport aircraft named Ironside transport was going to appear in the cancelled TIBERIUM. It is unknown if the two are related.
