The burning passion to fight... and win!

The Far East Soviet Army's 3rd Army, 18th Division, 211th Tactical Armored Battalion Zhar (RUS: батальон Жар, JP: [ジャール] 大隊) is a frontline combat unit stationed at the Kamchatka Peninsula's ц-04 frontline base. The name is derived from the Russian жар, meaning heat or passion, which is represented with the image of a flame-wreathed sword gripped by an armored fist.

Most, if not all of the members are child conscripts from Warsaw Pact countries on the eastbound side of the BETA invasion and other regions of the Soviet Union who were forcibly pressed into service, rather than full-blooded Russians, or willing soldiers. This resulted in many of them bearing a sense of hatred towards anyone percieved to be an ethnic Russian, which some of them clearly demonstated when they encountered the Scarlet Sisters. The group verbally abused Cryska Barchenowa and threatened to physically humilate both of them, making clear their intention to "offer" her and Inia Sestina to some of the more morally-corrupted soldiers on the Kamchatka after threatening to strip them and tying them to a fence.

The battalion operates both the Su-27SM Zhuravlik and the Su-37M2 Terminator in combat.
