Grounded is a quest for level 10-60 in Mechagon, added in Battle for Azeroth. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.
One of King Mechagon's older Aerial units is having mechanical problems and is grounded nearby.
They're trying to get it repaired, so we need to act fast while it's vulnerable.
Destroy the Aerial Patroller XZ-2 before they can get it repaired.

This guy hits hard. His Capacitor Blast is uninterruptable, cast repeatedly, and hits for a lot. I was surprised how hard this was for it not being a group quest, outlaw rogue, just barely survived it using all my cooldowns. I'm not sure if there's a trick other than wait for some help.
I would say they should make it a group quest

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Life in the Rustbolt Resistance is not easy, <name>. But it is yours. We will not order you around or force you to fight. Mechagon is a land of endless opportunities, and you may chase whichever opportunities you see fit.
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.

the only redeeming thing about this quest is that you can pull the sentries guarding it without pulling the target itself.
