Flash Gordon's Hawkman attack as a multi-axis tactical example

In Flash Gordon, what tactics did War Rocket Ajax and the Hawkmen use, and what could Ajax have done better?

The Hawkmen approach from many directions and concentrate on one target, overwhelming Ajax's ability to organize its defence.

The answer treats the Hawkman assault on War Rocket Ajax as a fictional example of distributed approach and concentrated effect. Attackers arrive from many directions, making it difficult for the defenders to mass fire or maintain complete coverage. Their separate flight paths still serve one focused objective, so dispersion does not mean a loss of tactical concentration. Ajax would need better all-round warning, coordinated defensive sectors, and a way to defeat attackers before they converge, although the exchange jokes that Brian Blessed makes the outcome inevitable.
