Ridgeback is an elite squadron. Its leader was killed in the previous battle. They assume that without the leader, the squadron is much weaker and will be easier to shoot down. It would be proven correct if Reaper wasn't there. By aiming for the slower target, they expose themselves to the more skilled pilots.
