Background: Introduced as a 5th Generation mecha-frame originating from the Omsk plant, it has been received being more of a "in-between" by western analysts. Deviating from earlier generations to merge both pilot and frame, this design represents an Eastern split with the West to instead replace the pilot all together with an experimental A.I. unit. As with most sci-fi flicks, a few units deployed in second-line areas were reported to suddenly activate and deactivate repeatedly for several seconds leading to concern of the stability of the A.I. unit. Questions regarding the creation of those artificial intelligences remain unanswered. In the meantime, the Shtroa Frame is seeing limited deployment in low-key sectors of friendly Warsaw-Pact countries for further analysis. Unfortunately, one detachment seeing action in Chechnya against rebel factions had a rather poor-showing as despite anti-personal counter-measures installed on the legs, rebel groups took advantage of the thin legs, toppling the frame, leading to later batches having redesigned leg sections.
