I did something similar. When Major Po and his merry band were performing their mission to set a backpack nuke at the Pact Reserve Front HQ at Lublin they knew they were being tracked by Spetznaz and had been for some time. When they were exfiltrating out of Lublin they knew the Spetznaz weren't far behind and a couple of long-range firefights ensued (which slowed their escape down). When the nuke went off Po and his men (who knew exactly when the detonation would occur) weren't as far out as they had hoped to be but they were in adequate cover. The Spetznaz weren't and most of them would've died slow, miserable deaths in the weeks afterwards.
