The Výsadkáři (meaning "Paratroopers") is a Czechoslovakian rifle squad that introduced in Wargame: European Escalation, and became a Shock Infantry in Wargame: Red Dragon.
History[]
During October 1, 1949, Infantry Battalion 71 was converted into Parachute Battalion 71 "Czechoslovak Paratroopers". These were originally a sabotage battalion before converted into a conventional airborne battalion in 1950s. This battalion along with two other parachute battalions along with 173rd Airborne Artillery Division were organized into 22 parachute brigade. 22. výsadková brigáda speciálního určení or 22. Special purpose parachute brigade was first created in 1952. This brigade was converted into a long range reconnaissance unit after disestablishment of the 7th Parachute regiment in 1969 after the events of Holešov barracks incident. This incident during Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia when 7th Parachute regiment refused to surrender their barracks to Soviet Forces. 71st Assault Parachute Battalion was reestablish in October 1, 1987.
Vz. 58 was a Czechoslovakia assault rifle first developed in 1956 with first deployment in 1958 replacing Vz. 52 self loading rifle, as well as Sa 24 and Sa 26 SMG. Czechoslovakia was the only Pact nation that used a native assault rifle design, while the Vz. 58 only has external resemblance to the Soviet AK.

There are two major differences between them and the Motostrelci, the basic rifle squad-type unit. Unlike Motostrelci, the transports available to Výsadkáři are helicopters and OT-64 variants, which are in their base forms and completely unarmed. Additionally, the Výsadkáři bear slightly superior stats with their Vz. 58 rifles.
