Ironside revived the YF-23 project to replace the Raptor as his fighter jet. It is equipped with an array of Anti-Tank missiles which can even destroy Chinese Overlord Tanks without too much effort. However, due to Ironside's strict doctrine, the Black Widow does not have any air-to-air combat capabilities. The Black Widow's missiles are not very effective against enemy structures and defenses due to the type of warhead utilized.

As existing transport systems were unable to efficiently accommodate the increased load of Ironside's vehicles, Ironside personally commissioned the design and construction of the Star Lifter. The Star Lifter can carry multiple tanks and vehicles - up to twelve soldiers or even two Mammoth Tanks at once, to any location on the battlefield. While completely unarmed, it is very heavily armored. This way it can take quite a beating, and occasionally even fly right past base defenses to drop its deadly cargo on the enemy's doorstep.

The F16XL is a modified version of the regular F-16, which is solely aimed at bombing missions. This lightly-armored and fast bomber carries two powerful bombs for bombing runs against enemy structures and defenses. Although they are effective against ground units and infantry, they do not have the ability to track and home in on enemy units. To further enhance its payload, its bombs can be upgraded with Bunker Buster warheads, which clear garrisoned structures and force enemy units out of tunnel networks.
