briefing time: We've pinpointed a trio of long-range radar stations on the edge of the front lines, capable of spotting our airships well before they can get close enough to do anything useful. If we want to be able to bring the heavy artillery to the Delta, we need to knock at least two of these things out, otherwise we'd be plagued by airsub attacks and interdictions. Satellite imagery provided by the Mercanans shows multiple SAM emplacements and triple-A amassing around each site, and they definitely have two-plane air patrols periodically going through the area. If you're quiet about it, you might be able to knock these out without encountering any air resistance, but don't count on it. The Mercanans are also sending one of their own squadrons to assist, a strike package of Razorbacks. Your own survival comes first, of course, but it would be nice if we could ensure their safety as well. You will deploy at 2100 tonight. Dismissed.
