E.B.S.I.S. O.C.C: Battloid Pilot (водитель робот)

The cream of the Soviet armor corps is the Battloid Pilot (водитель робот: voditel' robot) These highly trained and dedicated individuals are taken from the top soldiers of the conventional tank brigades and schooled in the operation and tactics of the giant war machines that dominate the modern battlefield.
Macross Era:  Soviet designed mecha are still in their infancy so a Macross Era battloid pilot is as likely to be trained on former RDF mecha as an E.B.S.I.S. battloid in the early years but the RDF/Zen. mecha become less common as the years go by.  Only a few pilot the rare VF battloids or modified Zentraedi Battlepods.(G.M. may opt to allow Pilot:Veritech/Mecha Combat Veritech (Battloid Mode Only and/or Pilot/Mecha Combat Zen. Battlepod at costs of 2 'Other' Skills ea.)

Southern Cross Era:  Only a few RDF/ Zen mecha remain in the Soviet arsenal and even most of the T-99's are gone w/ only a few dozen remaining.  The Soldier, Juggernaut, and Destroyer Battloids are the norm.
