Background
Although Stonehenge, a cannon created by San Salvacion, was originally intended to destroy the Ulysses 1994 XF-04 asteroid and the meteor shower that followed. After this, Erusea took over the entire Usea continent and took Stonehenge. After this, they were able to attack ISAF forces with it, using its 600+ mile range. After taking its toll, ISAF needed to destroy the cannon.
Mission details
ISAF command predicted that if the fighters flew a fast, erratic course, Stonehenge would not be able to destroy them. They also predicted a 40% casualty rate for all their aircraft. The mission was dubbed "Operation Stone Crusher."
Mission
First objective
The first objective is to race toward Stonehenge. After that, Mobius 1 (the player) must destroy all of Stonehenge's eight rail cannons. However, it is protected by a jammer station in the centre. This can be destroyed with guns or bombs. It is also defended by anti-aircraft guns, SAMs, and some enemy fighters.
Second objective
After Stonehenge is destroyed, an element of Yellow squadron Su-37s appear to challenge the ISAF aircraft. Mobius 1 must shoot down Yellow 4, Yellow 13's wingman and possible lover. She is unable to eject and dies, devastating Yellow 13. After this, Yellow squadron flees and the mission is accomplished.
