Paradrop is a three-level support power in Command & Conquer: Generals and Zero Hour that calls a transport plane to drop five (level 1), ten (level 2), or twenty (level 3) Rangers for the USA, or five/ten/fifteen minigunners for the Chinese general Shin Fai to a selected area of the battlefield. The transport plane can be shot down at any time.

Trivia

The selection picture of Fai's paradrop is the same as the one of the American one. There is one unused icon made for him, but icons for the other two levels were not found in the game's files.
