Russia only a couple of times and I've had a couple other countries do it once. I've maybe only seen this done by all maybe 10-12 times in almost as many years. It seems a very rare occurrence driven I'm sure by many perimeters the AI has to "work" within. I've always believed in " Fighting men, from the sky..."  on my part.

One of the hardest battles I have ever had vs the AI & I nearly rerolled it because I thought it would be dead easy was Russian AI doing a river crossing on a full width map, this met the AIs criteria in a big way.
Few turns of bombardment & fast air in which I spotted a few ground vehicles then the paras turned up supported by attack & transport helos, turns out most of the AI arrived by air.
Arty park gone desperate attempt to save my HQ, forget holding the bank for now I have far bigger problems. Ended up having to clear the enemy out of my fortifications which I had abandoned on rescue missions.
Talk about getting caught well & truly with my pants down, we held but with totally unacceptable losses.
