How to unlock the Caravan achievement in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN - Definitive Guide

This is the 16th mission also known as Episode 16 Traitor's Caravan. You're supposed to follow a convoy and intercept it, but that's quite difficult so there is a trick around it. From the very start of the mission hop on D-Horse, go straight to the airport and hijack the high value cargo. Afterwards, immediately call D-Horse and escape the base.

If you're interested in watching an S Rank walkthrough of the mission, you can view the video below:

I would like to put my tuppence in here and say if you can do this BEFORE the convoy leaves, do it. The soldiers defending the truck are a nightmare to deal with in the open.

What, you can Fulton the truck from the rear tyres? Not just the front?

Do you need to have your Fulton upgraded to the max to lift the truck? I have everything I need to update the Fulton except for a Transportation Specialist? How do I get that??

UPDATE:. The first Transportation Specialist is located in Mission 10. He is one of the three optional prisoners. I replayed the mission. I extracted them and completed the mission. Two of the prisoners were located on the second floor of the palace and the other was in one of the prisoner huts outside. You will need the Fulton extractor upgraded to extract vehicles before you can complete mission 16.

Once you have found the caravan, the Skulls will appear when you approach it. They are very tough and can take multiple hits with a rocket launcher; and you can blow up the truck you should retrieve while fighting.

So it is best to not fight them at all.
Make sure you bring your horse to the mission

Your best bet is to first approach the two tanks in the caravan and extract them using the fulton system. If you crawl, the enemies will not be alerted.

Then you approach the truck, preferably when the Skulls are not standing around it and use the fulton recovery on it. The Skulls will now be alerted, so you start running in any direction, while calling your horse. Hop on it and ride as fast as you can.

The Skulls will keep up with you and shoot, but most shots will miss. When they are in front of you steer to another direction; just try to keep in mind you want to reach the border of the mission area, so it is wise to keep roughly the same direction overall and not ride in circles. You will no have time to consult your map, so just ride as fast as you can and avoid obstacles.

Once you crossed the border of the mission area, a short cutscene will follow with the fog lifting and the skulls disappearing. Mission complete.

In fact, there is an even easier way to defeat the skulls. You need C4 and bait.
First, we destroy the armored vehicles before arriving at the meeting point with the truck at the airport.
Second, not far from the airport there is an SUV at an intersection, a truck is waiting to join the convoy, we kill or tranquilize and kill these guys (this is an additional task to evacuate 3 soldiers, and there are 4 of them)
Third, at the truck’s destination, a little further from the airport, it’s better to place a bait (inflatable Snake) and three C4s.
Fourth, as I understand it, after the destruction of the armored personnel carrier, the truck begins to leave the airport if you get closer - apparently a trigger, the driver says that the armored vehicles have not arrived and leaves. Having seen the bait (don’t forget our C4s on it), he stops about 30 meters away and goes to check it, kill or put to sleep and fulton the driver (an additional task is to evacuate the driver). The main thing is that the bait does not burst or we put a new one. Don't forget to ask for more supplies.
Fifth, we slowly sneak up on the truck on the courts, skulls come out, we immediately move back!!! - if the truck walks slowly, then they won’t see you when they appear, you can safely go back. After this, one skull will go to the bait, when it comes up and jumps on it, we explode C4! 3 pieces will knock him to death. Maybe even 2 is enough. We get closer, put 2-3 C4 and bait on it, the second skull goes and explodes, etc. At the same time, there is no alarm and they don’t see you. You can also simply after you blow up the first one, come closer so that the skull begins to move in your direction, also put 2-3 C4 and slowly move away......

At an extreme event not far from the airport, I stopped the first armored vehicle with an EM mine, and, having calculated the distance, placed C4 under the second armored vehicle. The place where the truck stops is lined with sleeping mines. I stood on top; there was a very convenient platform there. Skulls came out all over this fireworks, I threw sleeping grenades at them.

In the later stages of the game, skulls ( of any kind ) can be dealt with using the SEVRAL AMR-7 sniper rifle. A monstrously powerful rifle that perfectly penetrates the armor of “Skulls” ( even at EXTREME ). In the case of armored ones, for convenience, we put a collimator sight on it, and at a semi-automatic pace we deprive the “Skulls” of life.
