When the Bots came.

The first meeting between the Pan European Empire and the Sinorussia, was among a small explorer group of a dozen soldiers and only a lost robot. Only one man survived the encounter after hiding in the carcass of his smoking Halftrack.
The reports issued by the rescue and survivor told all the horrible bloody carnage. The robot was hunted down and destroyed by a squadron of Staghound.

The robot was brought to room detached and analyzed. He was named "Igor"for its strange appearance completely (named as a mad scientist's assistant).

Few months later others robots were observed at the Belarusian border all quite different. Most were rusty, much more than poorly maintained, it even came to find some off-duty planted as statues of an ancient time completely eaten away by acid rain and overrun with weeds.

Only after the Volgograd disaster that happened became worse. Squads freshly paint and heavily armed of "Igor" roamed the plains of Belarus to address Pan-European empire.
