Complete the Destroy the Anti-Air Emplacements side op in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Rescue prisoners and destroy enemy armor.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Approach the first Anti-Air gun across the fence. Tag nearby enemies (2-3 usually present) and tranquilise them. Plant C4 at the AA gun's base.
  2. 2
    Return to the road south and move east along the fence using cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects). Scan for enemies.
  3. 3
    Continue along the fence to the dirt path leading to the prison area. Neutralise the guard patrolling between the guard hut and prison, and the two guards near the prison (one outside, one inside or in the tower).
  4. 4
    Be aware of proximity mines near the guard post outside the prison gate and on the hill. Move to the right of the guard post to avoid them.
  5. 5
    Continue up the dirt path to the major road. You will see two AA guns: one directly in front, another on the raised area near the helipad.
  6. 6
    Optional: Rescue the Final Prisoner: Work your way up the road to the right, using cover and staying out of sight. Reach the orange door next to the large gate, enter, and dispatch the guard. Time your run to the stairs to avoid a video camera. Clear enemies in the boiler rooms, pick up the prisoner, and backtrack, avoiding the camera again. Exit the orange door and make your way across the helipad areas to the east, turn the corner, and take the small side road down past the guard hut (avoiding mines) to the extraction point. Call a helicopter and extract the prisoner.
  7. 7
    Return to the guard hut next to the dirt road leading to the main base. Look right at the AA gun above. Zoom in with an assault rifle and shoot the red barrel beneath it to destroy the AA gun.
  8. 8
    While guards inspect the destroyed AA gun, crawl to the AA gun directly in front of you, neutralise nearby enemies, and plant C4.
  9. 9
    Retreat to the dirt path and detonate the C4 (Hold L + Y for X360/XOne, Hold L1 + Triangle for PS3/PS4) to destroy the two rigged turrets.
  10. 10
    Escape: Enemy armour will appear. Run to the main road and plant your remaining three C4 sticks in the centre. Retreat down the path, go prone in the grass, and wait for the armour to reach the C4. Detonate it to destroy the vehicle.
  11. 11
    A timer will appear. Run down the cliffside path to the beach. Pop a flare grenade to summon a helicopter and board it to complete the side-op.
Tips
  • Tag enemies using your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) to keep track of them.
  • Use cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) effectively to avoid detection.
  • The guards will go on alert for the duration of the mission, changing their patrol patterns.
  • Tranquilise enemies to avoid raising alarms.
  • Be cautious of proximity mines near guard posts.
  • Use the environment, like red barrels, to your advantage for destroying targets.
  • If extracting prisoners, use the designated extraction point on the beach.
