Okay! My TKD did not arrive yet, but I'll try anyway.
The obect is the enemie craft, so "Duj jagh"
The verbs are engage and destoy, so "chu' 'ej Qaw'"
The subject is an imperative form "yI"
For first instance, something like: "yIDuj jagh chu' 'ej Qaw'"
But my problem are the suffixes. I don't know how to use them correctly,
so I'm ready to your comments :)
