At the nav point where you run into the Strakha ace (Stalker, IIRC),
after your wingmen are all gone (either dead or sent home) and the ace
is waxed, you need to cloak, THEN autopilot to the last nav point.
Thrakath and Hobbes (if you didn't chase him, just Thraky) will be
present.  Line up on them, decloak, and spank them.  As soon as both
are dead, you'll automatically be taken to the cutscene where you
enter the atmosphere for the bombing run on the fault.

After the cutscene, recloak (you're not supposed to be able to do it,
but there's a bug in the game that resets the "one-time" counter for
the ground run, as the game treats it as a separate mission, not a
continuation of the space flight segment) and boogie over to the
target.  Either bring a book or use the autoslide AB-lock trick
(afterburn to top speed, hit the autoslide button [capslock], then
release the AB, and you'll keep going at AB speed while burning fuel
at non-AB rates), but do keep an eye on the mountains along the way.
