Watching the parachutes bloom in the sky, Andy gritted his teeth so hard they were about to shatter.
It wasn't the plan that had gone wrong, nor was there any flaw in the trap—no, it was the Russians. The Russians had actually chosen this moment to attack, and to make matters worse, they had fixed their sights decisively on this airport as the ultimate objective.

Think of it like a hunter setting a trap to catch a lion. Just as the lion approaches the trap, a herd of elephants charges in, trampling the trap to pieces with thunderous force.
That's what this situation feels like.
