Learn how to complete the Air Defenses (Setup) mission in Grand Theft Auto V. Follow our guide to destroy SAM turrets around Mount Chiliad and return the Volatol.
Alright, let's get this Doomsday Heist mission, 'Air Defenses (Setup)', rolling! First things first, hop into any car and follow that waypoint marker to the Sandy Shores Airfield. Your main gig here is to take control of the Volatol jet, while a buddy hops on the turrets mounted on the jet itself. One of you pilots, the other provides covering fire!
Once you're airborne and heading towards Mount Chiliad, you'll need to open up the Bomb Bay doors by pressing [Right D-Pad]. Your objective is to take out 12 SAM Turrets scattered all over the mountain. The trick to hitting them is to get close and release your bombs a few seconds *before* you fly directly over the turret. It takes a little practice, but you'll get the hang of it!
Your teammate on the jet turrets can definitely help clear out some of these SAMs, but don't forget to keep an eye out for any enemies trying to get too close to the jet. If they start peppering you with fire, you'll take too much damage and risk failing the mission. Once all 12 turrets are down, just fly the Volatol back to the airfield to wrap this mission up. Easy peasy!
