    Easy way of doing this, if you unlock the Event Rolling Thunder - this will give you the Thermobaric tank.
    Jump in the tank, then when the event screen comes up, press B to cancel the event, drive down to the bottom left of the map, where the Blackwatch presence is high (Big blue circle) the one without the base, cause havoc destroy as many tanks as possible, then just wait till the strike team is signalled, its a nice big area with plenty of troops to play around with, it also nice and open to see the choppers coming

    liiamiThis achievement popped for me on my second playthrough. It popped whilst I was destroying a strike team by jumping up and holding 'X' to do a dash attack against the helicopter.
    I'd like to say that it's buggy, as I wasn't using any weapons...

    WoetteGood guide, i didnt even use the thermobaric tank. I just went to that area and started causing havoc, soon some tanks appaered and i was able to hijack one. I then drove the tank to the back of a building with 2 pieres and a radio tower (i think its the place where you land a heli during a mission). I lured some troops with me and they just kept calling in strike teams. I was ably to destroy about 4-5 strike teams untill my tank was busted. I just went and good another tank at that same base (they pop up eventually) and repeated the whole thing. Took me about 30 minutes to get this chievo AND the 'thread elevated' achievement

    After causing enough damage to the military or in the presence of the military, one of the people will most likely call in a strike team. Hijack a tank and keep taking out the strike teams as they come. Honestly you could obtain this in one hellish killing spree.

    During the "Aerial Assault" event, aim to take down as many helicopters as you can with the RPG in a minute.
    The achievement should unlock after you've taken down 50 helicopters. Don't know why this achievement unlocked this way, but way better than doing it while driving armor.

    le vrai SlyI unlocked it yesterday just the way you did, and I didn't understand why, because I was not in an armored vehicle. So I can confirm that this is not unique to you.
    I give you a positive vote because it worked for me, but you should add that this trick may be a glitch that will not work for everyone, for some reason.

    WoetteAnother downvote from me as this doesnt seem to work al the time. Just did 20 minutes grinding this event and quite literally stood ON the ground with my ARMOR equipped and took down way more then 50 helicopters but didnt get the achievement. I'll just have to do it the normal way :-)
