Hunter Biden Has a Surprisingly Excellent Legal Defense Everybody thinks that nobody can do this until Maverick demonstrates that he can, and then, through some form of inspirational osmosis, all of his teammates can do it too.

Maverick, who has long been relegated to the job of testing exotic R&D planes, is brought in to design the attack plan and train the new crop of Top Gun winners to carry it out. has to destroy it before the uranium arrives. Some rogue state (never named and not matching any real-world country, though Iran comes closest) has built a uranium enrichment plant in a deep valley surrounded by mountains.
