Mission Walkthrough
Our job this time around is simple: shoot down the reconnaissance drones. They're unarmed and unmanned, so don't expect much resistance. As soon as you have control, leave the formation and get as many UAVs as you can before the main element arrives so you can get a better score. Also, don't bother firing 2 missiles at a UAV like you do an enemy aircraft: it only takes one to knock these down.

When you're done, more unidentified fighters show up. Your first instinct will be to fight them, but your Captain tells you to leave. Do so, but stay behind the group of fighters if you can. Eventually, Chopper will be in trouble and you'll have to save him from the enemy. The MiG-21s don't stand up to much firepower, and you can take them out and save Chopper without much effort. However, another group shows up while you're engaging the -21s and starts attacking. These MiG-29s turn a LOT faster than the MiG-21s.

However, they're not much of a threat either. Take them down, being careful not to let them get behind you. After all 8 of the enemy MiGs have been shot down, victory is yours.
