Yes, but just one hit sends them home damaged, and it'll be out for two
wj=hole turns (plus the aborted mission, and thats 80 points you're
missing for 3 whole turns).

The rules role a dice, if it is less than the armour value the flyer is destroyed, otherwise it is damaged. The Anti-Tank(Death ray) weapon rules stay it treats the armour of the target as always being a 4(2).

I assume this is snap fire. Roll a 4+(2+) to hit the flyer. This will
abort the mission if a hit is scored. Then if a hit was scored, roll
again - roll 4+(2+) to destroy the flyer, otherwise it returns home
damaged and can fly another mission after being repaired. As per the
rules on page 48 (hits on flyers) and 32/33 - AT(DR) shots treat the
target'sn armour as 4(2).

Perhaps I've missed something in the rules, but
