Much as I hate to suggest it but a Reaper loaded with Solomons and using it's Vulcan Batteries and Blind Fire is one way. Just keep targetting those torps and, if things get hot, launch a swarm of Solomons at them. They don't need to lock on so just let rip towards the incoming torpedos.

Ban REVERSE THRUST! Fly something other than a phoenix for a change!

You should be able to hold your own until the Pukov starts spamming torps (those are someone else's words... sorry for not quoting). Be aware that it launches cloaked Kamovs (which you should be able to see... destroy the upper turrets and just camp the fighter bays). When it starts shooting torpedos, be aware that you only have to destroy one in a group as they're all so close together that one explosion will destroy the other torps. I did this mission best in a Shroud, mostly because it allows you to close and destroy the Pukov's shield generator right off the bat, before it even becomes an objective. Just be careful not to get too close to the torpedos, its easy to blow yourself up with them.
