The 301st Aerial Augmented Infantry Squad, also known as Suparṇa, is an infantry squad on par with Baibao. Due to Baibao's deification in propaganda, Suparṇa is often overlooked despite their abilities. They represent the COU in the International Battle Standard Festival.

In-game Description

Because Baibao Squad is deified in the COU for propaganda purposes, Suparṇa Squad is often relegated into obscurity. However, they're more than strong enough to serve as Baibao's other half, so they were unsurprisingly selected as contestants for the International Battle Standard Festival. Their kette is composed of one Responder, one Defender, and one Fire Support. They're the exact opposite of Baibao Squad, focusing mainly on fights that aren't against Aerial Augmented Infantry units.

Typically, they attack from a safe distance using Andry's long-range missiles, while Sujatha and Rukhshana defend him. However, the squad's leader, Sujatha, thinks this sort of tactics, designed for missile-equipped aircraft, comes from outdated air force thinking, and that it won't work in the current age where midair close-range fighting exists. So, she is apparently always petitioning her superiors to let them use a more modern structure and tactics, but due to their lack of understanding, she's made little progress.
