VTOL VR - The Island - Mission 2 - Minesweeper

"Destroy the drone ships laying mines on supply routes."
The first combat mission in the campaign. Take off, meet up with a fighter squadron, and engage the enemy ships south of Akutan. The fleet is composed of several Mine Boats following a hostile Drone Carrier. The Drone Carrier will deploy its drone fighters promptly after arriving at the AO; focus on the mine boats and allow the fighters to keep their cruiser escort and drones busy. If the Drone Carrier locks onto you with its SAM radar, dive down towards the sea, away from the cruiser, and deploy chaff to avoid its missiles. It is generally easiest to deploy your GAU-8 against the mine boats, as they are very fragile. Once the mine boats are out of the way, you can return to base. Optionally, you can help the friendlies deal with the enemy cruiser before you head home. This can be done easily with a few Hydra 70 rockets aimed at their bridge.
Objectives
Destroy the Mine Boats and their escort
Threats
A Drone Carrier escorting several mine boats.
