How the hell do I beat Rahmadi Conflicts first mission?

I've been stuck on it for something like 3 hours and no matter what it seems all the boats get destroyed because my squad isn't sneaky enough to take out all the shilkas.

Everyone does it differently, so you have to try what you do best. In my case, I left everyone next to the CRRC and went with one of the saboteurs to kill some sentries and then I put the charge on the first shilka, and so on until all hell broke loose.

EDIT:

PS: In my case, I use Veteran difficulty, don't put more than that because it will be very complicated for you.

Use prone. Literally prone everywhere. I used team switch and snuck up to the first shilka. Planted the satchel and then crawled back to everyone. But when I team switched again. It auto detonates the satchel. So I don't know how to get around that one. But it's possible to sneak to all shilkas by staying prone the whole time.

Once the invasion starts. You have to support the boats. Use that first grenade launcher UAZ near your insertion. Shoot at the tanks to get the crew to disembark. Then shoot everything. Literally everything. Hopefully enough friendlies survive to complete the mission.

I just finished this mission. It's a cool concept. But an immense struggle to actually get it completed.
