Ellie breaks off to intercept the Shikras.
You close some of the distance, but the Shikras continue to accelerate until they match, then begin to surpass your top speed. The Berkut simply cannot keep pace.
"AWACs, 6 HSMs."
Gus observes the new contacts while he waits.
"I'll handle those two heading for the city."
He prepares to disengage and gun it towards the strike craft.
The PAK FA, on the other hand, is able to keep up at the very least, and you grab a precious few hundred meters on them before they accelerate to the point where you start slowly falling behind, Shikra-1 leaving you behind at a rate of about 50 meters per second and 2 leaving you at a much more generous 4. You aren't gaining ground on them, and are too far away to use your weapons, but they aren't leaving you behind as quickly as they are Skytracer. Though you won't be able to catch up to them, it's possible you could follow them to their destination, wherever that may be.

Test passed.The second Shikra evades your missiles entirely, but the first takes a hit in the rear. Engine damage as a result of the attack slows it down, and it is now only gaining a mere 6 meters per second against Tempest, meaning he'll be able to more comfortably keep pace with them.
