Situation
Background Information
During the last Royal Marine incursion into enemy territory, Russian defensive lines were used as traps and the marines were forced to retreat under heavy fire. Two operatives were left behind in the chaos, and were captured by Russian forces. HUMINT extracted from a Russian prisoner has indicated that the operatives are highly likely being held in a captured local fort being used by the enemy. Also indicated was a 'secret entrance' on the South-East wall which is often used by Russian troops sneaking off-base for various reasons.
An SBS team has been assembled and tasked with recovering the two marines and any intelligence possible on the way.

Mission
Tasking
You are to deploy behind enemy lines and rescue two friendly Royal Marine operatives from a Russian fort housing a detention centre. It is highly recommended to maintain stealth since the fort is behind enemy lines and reinforcements will be unavailable. Disabling the communications relay to the South-West of the fort will help to slow enemy response should you be discovered. The aforementioned secret entrance is the infil point into the fort with the highest predicted success chance.
The two UAV images below depict the Russian fort and the suspected breach in the wall.
