The Bear ravaged by cannon-fire from the Fencer plunged into the ocean, though close enough into the shallows that it cartwheeled and tumbled through the waves and surf to scatter debris onto the land. The remaining pair of bombers began a hard bank, lining up to come in to Lossiemouth from the east-to-west and unload their bombs on the runway, the airbase now visible in the distance. 

Fortunately, Miyoshi's missiles found their mark, and the trio of cruise missiles were swatted from the sky, leaving dirty fireballs in their wake, or missiles thrown off enough that they plowed furrows into the farmland below. However, on the opposite heading from her, Six had not made a move, and the three missiles began their terminal dive toward the base, popping up and plunging down toward the base. The three missiles hit targets of importance; the bases' radar station, the fuel tank farm and the operations building each received a missile - fortunately, with the previous volleys of missiles being wiped out by the interceptors, or their launch aircraft down, the barrage was nowhere near as damaging as it should have been, and the base remained in operation.

More bandits were swept from the skies as the squadron ramped up their aggression and teamwork, interlacing their courses and headings to sweep the skies of the hostiles on their tails. Farid's missile flew directly in toward the bandit on Matt's tail, and the detonation of the warhead blasted the pursuing fighter into a cloud of scrap, swiping another bandit from the skies, while Firefly's attack on another of the Bear's sent the plane rolling slowly into a wingover, before it collided with the ground, its' wingtip catching the earth and sending it in a flat cartwheel across the landscape, tearing itself apart in a fiery pyre. The enormous aircraft set acres of ground aflame with burning components, but the base was spared the damage of being bombed, the only bit of wreckage striking the base being components spewing themselves over the outlying areas.
The final bomber and the remaining fighters regrouped, 

Ariella zoned in on the fighter on the tail of the Fencer, and got a solid lock, the enemy boring in after the swing-wing ground attacker had gone level to target the persistant bandit. Lockon tones sounded in her ears, and she let fly with another Python. 
"Fox two!" she declared, as the missile sped away. The MiG banked and rolled, avoiding a direct hit, but the damage tore through the empennage of the fighter, and as she watched, the UNWO pilot fought to level out over land, before ejecting. 
"Tail's clear, Excalibur Four. Good stuff"
"All aircraft, this is Overwatch. Only one bomber remaining, the rest of the fighters are bugging out. Take the last one down, and we're in the clear!"

The last bomber climbed in altitude, and the doors on its' silver-grey belly yawned open as the airfield came into sight. Below, the personnel scrambled to get to cover in anticipation of the bombers' attack and the rain of high explosive from above.
