Perhaps your team should test the ability to disable SAM sites with the MRJ like it could in RA1, might make it a lot more useful. 

I made a quick test map that replaces the first allied mission in the campaign for anyone who hasn't seen this before, just use the longbows and watch them not fire back. It would make sense when the soviets' AA are radar guided.

The Tesla Tank can disable them as well but I believe it's due to the fact Westwood just copied the whole MRJ over with its abilities without much thought put into it. For A Path Beyond though this might not make sense unless it was captured.
