Juggernaut is the 4th mission in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War.
Briefing
The Ustio and Osean coalition forces are to launch a joint campaign. The collective strategic military force of the two armies will be referred to as the "Allied Forces". The campaign will be called "Offensive Campaign No. 4101". The objective of this operation is to secure a sea transit lane for the Allied Forces. To secure this channel, the Belkan forces occupying the Futuro Canal must be cleared out. You will be given a choice of missions in this joint operation. Offensive Campaign No. 4101 will be comprised of the following three air missions.
First, there is "Operation Gelnikos". This is an air-to-air/surface operation, whose objective is to wipe out Belka's air squadron, port facilities and surface weapons. Next is "Operation Round Hammer". This is an air-to-surface operation, whose objective is to wipe out the Belkan fleet, its port facilities and surface weapons. And the last mission is called "Operation Costner". This is an escort mission whose objective is to protect the naval vessels in Osea's 3rd fleet, including its state-of-the-art aircraft carrier, which will be making a trial voyage.
Fierce resistance by Belkan forces is expected in all three missions. Choose carefully which one you wish to participate in. That is all.

Trivia
- The events of the mission prior to, and after the passage of the Third Fleet through Futuro, are the setting for the fourth and fifth chapters of the promotional story Confession of a Soldier, in which the soldier Michael Kohl narrates his experiences during the attack on the canal.
- In Operation Costner, the Kestrel will give a different remark to the Galm Team after the mission depending on the number of Osean ships remaining. If the fleet was badly damaged, they will state that the fleet suffered heavy losses, but they wouldn't have been able to pass the canal without their help. If the fleet suffered minor losses, they will state that they suffered some losses, but nothing too serious, and that they were able to safely pass the canal. If no ships were sunk, Galm will be told that the fleet took no major damage, and that things couldn't have gone much better.
