I formulated the question badly, I meant can he target them with the
_Land Raiders_ (that have a higher chance of taking them out) as they
are rising (assuming they do) to do the pop-up attack or can he target
them only with the Land Raiders _after_ the Pop up attack when they
are sinking back down again.

Fhe two answer to my question basically say: _after_ the pop attack
which is also what I was proposing to clearify in the rules:
