Destroy the helicopter.

 is a storyline sub-task in the Meet the Patriarch task in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

Strategy

 * The mission is pretty straightforward but there are several opportunities for minor exploitation. The player is, after all, a Stalker.
 * Completion is contingent upon downing the heli and reporting back to Captain.
 * Moving out of PDA range of him will fail the whole Meet the Patriarch mission and antagonize the Monolith.
 * The aim of the MI-24 Helicopter pilot is to terminate Monolith opposition (and the player)
 * Careful use of the available cover may be utilized to draw fire onto the Monolithians (Captain will, of course, be "immortal" during all of this)
 * The player could have been industrious with an Artifact Merger and have a large inventory of Flame artifacts and be able to wear 100+% bulletproofing for this interval (doesn't protect against explosion or impact though)
 * In any event, during the trot to the outpost the player will need to transfer their rifle to backpack and free a belt area for an OG-7v reload.
 * Any victim Monolithians should be looted before speaking to the Captain.
 * Forward planning would have a vehicle nearby to stash the RPG and any other items that crop up. Not too close, or pieces of 'dead heli' could upset your plans; somewhere convenient for a drive up to Lab X10 later on.

Trivia

 * If leaving vehicles in the area, close any doors after debarking. Monolith patrols can sometimes get caught up in the open doors.
