Ellie sets up a run on the bottom SAM emplacement at site Gamma.
"The site looks clear of enemy aircraft right now, but I'll try to soften up the SAMs before you guys get here."
: Understood. Thanks, pal.
You are now lined up to hit the lower SAM. Only problem is that there's a big concrete structure blocking your shot. Fortunately, said structure is blocking their shot as well.

Test failedAs you were facing the SAM when it fired, LAMS is unable to be of use. You take a particularly nasty hit to your right side, but the Shikra soldiers on. Another SAM is fired as you turn tail, but by then you've turned enough that the LAMS is able to knock that one out.
"I suppose it couldn't be helped, their radar would have picked up the wrecks falling to the canyon floor anyway," Jaakko laments, "How long do you think we have until they scramble?"
He fires two more HSMs at the first VTOL, and attempts to suppress a growing anxiety within him.
"If someone can take those VTOLs, then I can cloak and fly above the canyon rim to get eyes on that reactor," he says.

"Eremit already said that they're scrambling a flight. I'd estimate maybe ten minutes to do as much as we can."
: That is... highly optimistic.
Though it isn't on your tail, the VTOL's gun traverse is more than enough to fire on you without having to orient the whole craft to face you.

Result: 3 hits to roosterpitA hail of cannonfire tears into the canopy, destroying some of the instruments and subjecting Yui to a high-speed blast of air with accompanying shrapnel. Miraculously, she is not killed, but the VTOL fires another missile with the intent to finish her off.
The A-10's warning receiver lights up at the mud spike, followed by a missile warning tone shortly after.
"Great fuckin' SAM placement these guys have here," Lorens croaks, unamused at the batteries' lofty positions along the edge of the plateau. He drops some chaff before hitting the dirt and making for the wall of the plateau, intending to hug it all the way to site Beta.
