Craft Armaments (Hardmode)
To prosecute the war against the invading aliens, X-COM forces will need to employ an array of craft weapons to bring the aliens down to Earth. These weapon systems will be vital to allow your interceptors a chance to down enemy craft that may otherwise not land of their own accord.
