As the battle progressed, the Valkyries maintained a safe distance, constantly circling the airspace around Gryphalos. They relied heavily on their advanced targeting systems and the agility of their F-35s to evade the creature's attacks. Gryphalos, with its enormous wings and ability to launch feathered spikes, proved to be a relentless opponent. But the Valkyries had a plan.
"Valkyrie Leader to all Valkyries. Stay mobile, and don't let it lock onto you," the Valkyrie Leader instructed over the radio. The pilots acknowledged their voices firm despite the intensity of the situation.
The Valkyries employed hit-and-run tactics, taking advantage of the F-35's advanced stealth capabilities and high-speed maneuverability. Each pilot carefully timed their attacks, launching AGM-158 JASSMs (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles) from a distance to avoid the creature's sonic screech and spike assaults.
