- Another encrypted message points towards Payavlenie Ravine in Yuktobania. There, the Razgriz Squadron discovers a Yuktobanian anti-war resistance cell, led by Alyosha, trying to dismantle one of the Belkan nuclear bombs. Alyosha requires the Razgriz to take out the Yuktobanian military searching for them. The situation is worsened by a Yuktobania's air defense system that limits the Razgriz to flying inside the canyon. After they destroy the enemy search parties, they are confronted by the Ofnir Squadron, the Yuktobanian counterpart to the Grabacr , and shoot them down. The nuke is successfully dismantled and sunk into the Ceres Ocean. En route, Alyosha forwards another message from their mysterious benefactor to the Razgriz, which hints that Captain Bartlett is still alive.
- Yuktobania recognizes the danger of the Sand Island base and launches a massive naval and aerial attack on it, reinforced by the Scinfaxi. The Wardog Squadron and the newly-arrived nuggets are sent to intercept. The Scinfaxi begins firing burst missiles, but the first three are vaporized by the Arkbird's new laser. The next ones, however, obliterate all of the nuggets before the Arkbird and the Wardog Squadron manage to sink the submarine, causing the fleet to fall back and give up the invasion.
- An unidentifed spy plane is detected by OADF radars in Cape Landers. Cpt. Bartlett and three trainees - Edge, Chopper, and Blaze - are sent in to intercept. The spy plane ignores their demands to land and calls for escort fighters, who attack the Wardog Squadron. In violation of Thunderhead's orders, Bartlett gives permission to fire back. After intense combat, Wardog wins the fight and the Spy Plane is shot down.
- The evening of the St. Hewlett raid, the Sand Island airbase is attacked by Yuktobanian strategic bombers. Blaze, Nagase, and Chopper perform an emergency scramble and defend the island. In the middle of the air raid, another trainee, Hans Grimm, launches with Bartlett's spare plane to help Wardog. Lt.Col. Ford, who is supposed to replace the MIA Bartlett, attempts an emergency landing while the attack is still on-going but he is shot down and killed. As a result, Blaze is permanently promoted to Wardog Leader, while Grimm joins the squadron as Wardog Four.
