Scouts can't be supplied or load into other units, so don't have an animation image, alas.

Scouts are "light" fighters, air units for fighting off other air units. However a scout costs almost as much as a medium tank, so not really "light" on your wallet. They don't really have a good niche in this game, really only being effective against copters. Against anything else, you're probably better off saving up for a fighter, and even against copters you might be better off putting out an AA missile or a couple of AA tanks. So I guess there's a reason this unit type doesn't appear in the first few Advance Wars games.
