The Python-class Tele-Viper is the RTO* of the Python Patrol's ground forces. They are equipped with a modular radio pack that contains all new, sophisticated radar jamming devices. They carry digital scrambler/decoders and low speed recording decks for ultra-high speed burst transmissions, enabling the Python Patrol personnel to communicate rapidly with other Cobra units and support elements.
Coupled with the Pythonizing Process** to help conceal these troopers,
Cobra has a way to ensure reliable battlefield communications with their
Python Patrol troopers.
While originally deployed in 1989, Cobra has upgraded its Tele-Viper
corps as of 2003 and it is presumed that there is an upgraded detachment of
Tele-Vipers within the newest Python Patrol deployments. One of the 2004 Tele-Viper uniforms are similar to the 2003 Python Patrol uniforms, but it remains to be confirmed if these operatives are indeed Python Patrol members.
