If you think about it, the explosion is the center of the operation. The blue team starts at point of the explosion and back and scans the environment + possibly fight inverted Sator’s men. They get all the way down and when the countdown reaches zero they leave further back in the past, prepare a briefing with the intel and give it to the red team.
The red team then uses the intel to move forward and their “superficial goal” is to prevent from stopping the explosion. The real goal is to get the algorithm out of the dead drop.
It’s best to think of them as two separate timelines happening at once but in two different directions.
I also don’t get the complain about not seeing the enemy. They are there and we see them come out in numbers from the turnstile.
Neil could have waited and gave them the intel but he decides to switch and help directly. probably because he’s one of the few people who know about the algorithm (the real mission).
I guess what confused me slightly is how we inverted explosions while we’re in the forward POV with the protagonist. I guess there were inverted bombs and mines?
