Don't even think about it

Multiple Shadow Raiders were present when Harold Attinger requested an audience with Lockdown in the Arctic and several were later killed by Cade Yeager when he and his allies discovered a gun upon sneaking aboard their ship in Chicago. In addition to chasing after these intruders aboard their fighters (and having a lot of them die in the process), the crew also listened to Lockdown plan his return to Earth. Age of Extinction
