The encounter with the Alpha Gryphon had entered a critical phase. Lightning One and Lightning Two, piloting the F-35s, quickly recalibrated their tactics. The creature, seemingly impervious to conventional armaments, required a more nuanced approach.
"Lightning Two, switch to tactical analysis," Lightning One commanded, maintaining a safe distance from the Alpha Gryphon. "We need to find a weak spot."
Both pilots engaged their AN/APG-81 radar systems, scanning the creature for any structural vulnerabilities. The radar, with its advanced imaging capabilities, provided detailed feedback on the Gryphon's body composition and movement patterns.
Meanwhile, in the command center, Richard and his team monitored the situation closely. "Lightning One, try targeting the joints of the wings. It might be more susceptible to damage there," Richard suggested, analyzing the data streaming in.
