Cyclops Slayer is mission 13 in Ace Combat: Joint Assault.
Briefing
"The IUPF is advancing on the old USSR nuclear missile silo, hoping to ebate the Valahia terror. Other Valahia bases across Europe will be attacked at the same time. This isnt going to be easy. We are to attack a hostile fortress in Southern Romania, a site confirmed to have a large rail gun. A weather station in the mountains bordering Serbia and Romania is also a disguised enemy radar site. The combination of the rail gun and radar site allows for precise, long-range firing. London may be saved, but Europe still has a knife at its throat. We must end this! Antares Squadron will attack the hostile radar site in the Serbian Mountains.. If the rail gun is the arm of the cyclops, the radar is it's eyes. Destroy the radar site to take out the gun. We will be counting on your success."
Objectives
Antares Squadron is to take out the hostile radar site in the Serbian Mountains. After the first one is destroyed, two more will activate, making it easier for Antares to be detected. After the radar sites are destroyed, the Varcolac Squadron will arrive in the combat zone and will take on Antares, using hit and run tactics.

Debriefing
"The hostile radar site has been destroyed. This will make taking out the fortress much easier. However, Sulejmani is starting to be a real thorn in out side. With that in mind, this won't be easy. You're going to need to bring your "A" game to the table."
Trivia
- This mission is very similar to the mission "Rolling Thunder" from Ace Combat X in the sense in both missions, the player has to fly through a canyon to avoid long range attacks from an enemy superweapon.
