Once they have gotten off the street, there will be a few more enemies that come rushing.

Headshot each of the targets in the gun range in Kaffarov
When you are traversing through the house during the mission “Karrarov” you will go through a dark hallway down some stairs where you fight a corridor of enemies with flashlights. Once they are dispatched, your two buddies will keep cover at a door and tell you to find another way around. Head down the stairs on the right side and you will go through a firing range. There are 15 targets throughout the range that need to be shot in the head. There is only one that moves and it is the last one. During your way through, some enemies will appear, so make sure not to accidently shoot the targets while taking down the enemies.

There will be a spot just before the garage where one player will go high and the other low. Use spotting and have the player on the upper level clear out most of the enemies for the lower player. Once you hit the garage level B, this will pop.

Kick the car to kill the soldiers in Uprising

Walk up to it and press the button prompt to give it a push onto the enemies below.
