Walt grips his flight stick tighter and sighs in annoyance. "I'll take the Temnabog myself." He begins lining up another shot of plasma on the bomber. "We don't all need to pile on this thing at once when it's nearly dead."
This happens.
"Roger that Walt, don't let that gun overheat."
Bell starts aiming for the nearest engine block on the Maskara.
This too.
Lorens follows Bell's Su-57. He cues the Masakra's engines through the TGP and keeps his thumb primed over the munitions release button, waiting for a saturation attack from the allied fighters to release his last missiles.
And this.
Jaakko brings about his Tukreb. He aims and fires his EML at the Temnabog’s last plasma gun to protect Walt’s attack.

A handful of Imperial planes lay into what's left of the Temnabog, and it begins to pitch downwards. This close to the target though, it cannot be assumed to be out of the picture yet. The Masakra also comes under attack, but the PD knocks out over half of the incoming munitions.
Ajka aims for the roosterpit of the Vaduren and fires all of her guns at it. "Guns on the Vaduren!“

Roll: 63 - successThe particle cannons impact against the roosterpit, vaporizing two neat holes in the roosterpit. Before the disappointment can set in from the (relatively speaking) minor damage, you spot the glow of rocket engines rising rapidly from below- a quartet of SAMs from one of the local air defense units. Three of them are shot down by the laser defense turrets, but one manages to reach its target, right below the roosterpit. The control center is destroyed, its contents spewed skywards in a plume of burning debris.
"Thanks for the assistance."
Ellie fires four HSMs at Jester 1-2 and starts aiming.

Imperial fighters are now swarming what's left of the Vaduren, hosing it down with 20mm cannonfire to minimal effect.
Onyx and Rauths destroy the AFS Grzmot, its meager defensive installations picked off by gunfire allowing a pair of missiles to impact inside the hangar deck and set off a catastrophic chain reaction. Two of the attacking planes are picked off by the Odslighet.

: [Press the attack, engage at point blank if you have to. No time to withdraw.]
Aesthian Airships will reach their target in 4 turns.
