“	I cast a deadly shadow.	”
	—Atomic Claws

The Atomic Claws is a stolen tech unit acquired after infiltrating a Soviet Battle Lab and owning a Soviet War Factory. This unit only exists on Mental Omega version 1.2 and older.

Official description

After infiltrating a Soviet Battle Lab while owning a Soviet War Factory, access to Soviet secret Atomic Claws is granted. This large, but light artillery unit was too expensive to be used as standard Soviet artillery, so its project was cancelled and left in Battle Labs in the event of red alert situations. Atomic Claws are armed with an enormous cannon, which has long range of fire and blows up enemies using powerful atomic warheads.

Trivia

• The cameo is based on the 280mm Atomic Cannon fired during Operation Upshot-Knothole.
  • The Nuke Cannon from Generals resembles this unit; in fact, both use the same cameo and function similarly.
