Danger Close Walkthrough and Objectives

Danger Close Mission Walkthrough

1
Modern Warfare 3 - Destroy the SAM Site at the Radio Tower
Fire a missile at the SAM site near the Radio Tower to destroy it. You will have to manually guide the missile towards the target.

NOTE: For this mission, you'll be destroying six key targets with missiles, which may result in mission failure should you fail to destroy them within the timeframe given, so it's best to save up your missiles until needed as you can only have 1 loaded up at a time and it takes a while to reload them.
2
Modern Warfare 3 - Destroy First Jet at Airstrip
Once the ground team approaches the airstrip, ready up your missile as the second target will be a Jet preparing for take off. Take it out with a missile before it launches airborne, otherwise it will fire its own homing missiles at your plane and will result in mission failure.
3
Modern Warfare 3 - Destroy First Tank at Radio Tower
As soon as Task Force-141 reports in that they've located the chemicals, a tank will appear at the radio tower. Eliminate the tank with a missile before it destroys the hangar containing the chemicals.
4
Modern Warfare 3 - Destroy Second Tank at Airstrip
While defending the ground team as they neutralize the chemicals, a second tank will drive out of a hangar at the northern side of the airstrip. Again, fire a missile at it to destroy it.
5
Modern Warfare 3 - Destroy Second Jet at Airstrip
After taking out the second tank, do not use up your missile as another Jet will be preparing for take off at the airstrip. Wipe it out immediately once it's preparing for launch as you'll have a harder time targeting it once it speeds through the runway.
6
Modern Warfare 3 - Destroy Chemical Hangar
The final target will be the hangar filled with the chemicals. After dealing with the chopper where Makarov is in, shoot the hangar with a missile to end the mission.
