A lone Feldspar screamed towards its target.

"5 seconds to popup!" yelled the WSO, their intercom hadn't been working ever since the airframe took some 50 mil on the ingress.
The airframe groaned under the increased G's as the Feldspar pulled up from the deck to begin its Boming run. Strangely no defensive fire came from the Sarkyzian tanks below.
The pilot's thumb drifted to the pickle button as the piper approached the first tank in the formation.
The radio suddenly blared to life.
"Esker 3 ABORT RUN ABORT RUN!" crackled over the shot-up radio.
The confused pilot yanked on the stick, aborting the run and sending the Feldspar hurtling back down to the deck.
Their flight lead breathed a sigh of relief; A ceasefire had been signed while they were en-route. Esker 3's broken radio almost cost them dearly.
