everything look legit?

[Operator¹]

taking the well-balanced f-23, i'll try not to lose it.

[Gojira]

I'll take the silence as a sign that everything's good. Takeoff goes smoothly and before you know it, you're crossing over the South Aesthian border and headed for your objective.
: Alright, let's recap so everyone's sure of their jobs: Pansar, Frisk, cut through the canyons with Mjolnir and hit the repair docks. Remember to stay low, or they'll pick you up. Our sensor interference can only go so far, it won't do any good if you fly right over their SAMs. Eremit, hang back and monitor your sensors, let us know when we're busted. Virvel, you're with me, we're going to make sure he doesn't get shot down. Understood?
: Loud and clear, sir.
: Good. Let's get this done.

You are now approaching the edge of the combat zone, and descend into the canyons to avoid radar tracking.

Yui takes a good look at the aircraft she saw in the hangars before moving on to get a quick look at the ones she didn't see before they move out of visual range. She figures she'll have to properly introduce herself later. She follows Pansar, Frisk, and the rest of Mjolnir into the canyon.

also i'm getting some serious ace combat 6 vibes from this mission

It's all quiet for the first few miles, nothing to report in regards to enemy units. It does become apparent, however, that while there is enough space for the flight of planes to fit through the canyon without too much risk of crashing into the ground, care will need to be taken to avoid midair collisions.
: I've intercepted some Imperial communications, sounds like they have patrol boats on the river a ways downrange.
: If they spot you, they could blow the operation before it even starts. Keep an eye out for anything that could give you away.

"We needed an EWAR craft for this, comm jams would be useful,"

[NoZoner]

Lorens scrolls his vision across the canyon walls. Wide as it is, their presence is still imposing. He takes a moment to glance over the waypoint metadata.

"Crash, Snowman, requesting permission to break formation and descend."

"We needed an EWAR craft for this, comm jams would be useful,"

: It's why I'm here.
: We jam their communications now, they'll get suspicious. Leave the enemy airwaves alone until the attack starts or the strike planes get spotted.

No activity you can see on the ground, but there's something in the water a few miles ahead, within missile range.
