Suppose you are in charge of a small group of troops hiding near an airfield in enemy territory and tasked to disable half a dozen specific aircraft. Similar to the raids that were speculated about during the Falklands war as a way of dealing with Super Etendards.

What's the best way of doing it? Small arms fire from a distance seems the easiest, or would you have to actually blow them up?

I read something years ago about SOE being trained to sabotage factories, apparently the really important thing was to break the same part on every machine.
