Mission 9 `A courtesy call'

This mission is not the most difficult one, though to it in three-start-for-time mode is not that trivial, since there is not a real short cut (at least, I haven't found one). Performing this walkthrough in a quick pace should do the trick.
This mission has three phases: in the first phase, the spy takes care of all the guards. In the second phase, bombs and barrels are put on the right spots to destroy the objectives (and the patrol). In the final phase everything that needs to be been blown up is blown up, so it's time to say good bye.

Phase 1 Getting rid of the guards

Inject the guard (the red encircled here) who watches to the north at the northern gate. Take care that the other guard (the blue encircled) and the patrol in the courtyard don't see you. Put his body at point X and wait until the blue encircled guard notices it. Then inject him too. If you don't want to wait until he has made his round, you can distract him so that he notices the body sooner.
Now inject the guard near the fuel truck (the red encircled here.) Take care that the guard (the blue encircled) who walks south/east of him does not see you injecting him. When the blue encircled comes to take a look at his dead comrade, inject him too.
Now inject the guard near the tanks (the red encircled here.) Take care that the guard (the blue encircled) who walks near him does not see you injecting him. When he comes to take a look at his dead comrade, you know what to do.....(of course, you can distract him if you don't want to wait until he sees him.)
Now it is time to kill the guard near the south west gate; take a look here. This make look easy, though a little care must be taken, because the patrol in the courtyard sees some spots in this area during their walk. An way is to inject the red encircled guard first, then run towards the blue encircled guard. When the yellow encircled guard runs to the body of the red encircled guard, inject the blue encircled guard and then run to the yellow encircled guard to inject him. Selecting the scan range of the yellow encircled guard can help with the timing.

Phase 2 Placing the explosives and barrels

Distract the patrol in in courtyard with your spy so that they are facing in the south-west corner; see the upper-right camera view in this picture. Put a bomb with your sapper east of the barracks, see lower-right camera view in this picture, and the other one near the bunker, see upper-left camera view in this picture. The bombs are black encircled in these views.
Put the fueltruck with your driver in front of the tanks (upper-middle camera view in this picture.)
Use your green beret to put a barrel near the following buildings: one near both of the two buildings in the centre of the courtyard, see lower-left camera view in this picture, one near the radar station and one near the building near the radar station, see lower-middle camera view in this picture. The barrels are orange encircled in these views.

Phase 3 Finishing touch

When ready, sent all your men except your spy to the south-west corner of the map. Then stop distracting the patrol. When the patrol is near the bomb that you placed near the barracks, detonate it, and the other bomb as well. If you placed the bomb well, the patrol should be dead now. Shoot all the barracks with your spy and when ready, run to the south-west corner. The escape truck should have arrived now. There might be still a little problem. The patrol that walks north in the map will come to the courtyard. When they take the west route, they will notice the escape truck. You can use your sniper to kill them from a long distance or quickly drive the escape truck with your driver to the most south-west spot of the map. When all is save, jump in the escape truck with all your men.
