The Airborne Soldier is a normal enemy in Arknights.
Enemy description
One of Reunion's special melee soldiers. They are equipped with modified disposable jetpacks made from looted parts. Despite their fairly rudimentary equipment, Reunion uses them to great effect when attacking insufficiently protected areas.
Overview
“ | A special melee unit that can attack from unexpected positions. | ” |

As their name suggests, Airborne Soldiers are pretty much Soldiers with a twist; they wear a single-use jetpack which allows them to spawn into the map by airdropping themselves anywhere instead of appearing from Incursion Points. This makes Airborne Soldiers more unpredictable than regular Soldiers, since there are no warning about where they will spawn and the path they will take.

Trivia
- Humorously, there is an Airborne Soldier in Lungmen Downtown who, instead of landing together with other Airborne Soldiers, lands on a hole in the lower-right corner of the map, promptly falling to his defeat. This is referenced in other operations:
- An Airborne Soldier in Broken Path lands on the Heat Pump Passage cluster and walks around them instead of leaving, eventually burned to his defeat. This Airborne Soldier is also the only Reunion enemy who appears in the said operation.
- It is possible to force the Airborne Soldier out of the Heat Pump Passages with Push Stroker/Hookmaster Specialists, but due to his pathing, he will always attempt to return to the Heat Pump Passages. However, with some clever positioning of the Specialists (as long as the Objective: Last Line of Defense contract is not used), it is possible to force the Airborne Soldier all the way into the Protection Objective.
- Yet another Airborne Soldier in SV-1 (Children of Ursus) lands right on top of a hole on the upper-left corner of the map, plummeting to their doom, while the other three around them lands safely.
- A Guerrilla Siegebreaker, the guerrilla counterpart of the Airborne Soldier, in Frozen Abandoned City lands on a hole, ending up in the same fate as the aforementioned Airborne Soldiers.
- An Airborne Soldier in Broken Path lands on the Heat Pump Passage cluster and walks around them instead of leaving, eventually burned to his defeat. This Airborne Soldier is also the only Reunion enemy who appears in the said operation.
- The aforementioned Airborne Soldier is confirmed to be Kevin in Ethan's Operator Record.
