Hello after trying countless times this mission and reading forums/let's plays it appears that this mission is ridiculously imbalanced. Unless a huge ammount of luck the tubes will get destroyed before you can do anything.
I finally found an easy way to succeed this mission.
Step 1: Do not kill all the ships in the beginning. Not only it's not needed until the end of the mission but also they will actually trigger the infiltrators attacking tubes/control unit.
Just kill one or two of them (or none) if you want and directly follow the canyon full speed towards the mission objective. They won't follow you after some time, if one managed to follow you just kill him.
Since the trigger is not directly activated by doing so, it will buy you a decent ammount of time before base is attacked
Step 2: When you reach the city, the infiltrators will be still quite far away. Either wait there for them to come or check your max range radar to see the closest threat. Attack them as they come and/or go directly to the tubes end (the part that gets destroyed every time)
You need to attack the red "rectangular" shape ennemy first, it is the one that shoots the tube.
Step3: Once every infiltrator and ennemy is killed, you will have the comment that you succeeded the mission but you cannot actually end it because autopilot does not work. It's totally normal autopilot won't trigger until you have killed every ennemy in the mission including the first ones that you left in the canyon. Go back to the canyon and kill them with ease, you have all your time now. Then autopilot will be available to end mission.
