An armored capsule from a ground-based robotic complex (NRK) was used to rescue a wounded Ukrainian soldier during the evacuation of an infantry position after an enemy FPV drone attack.
The operation was part of the mission called “Fixy,” the First Separate Medical Battalion said.
According to the battalion, the soldier was hit by a drop from an enemy drone and remained immobilized in an infantry position, unable to move on his own. The route to the evacuation point passed through an area saturated with enemy forces, making the use of traditional rescue methods impossible.

Against the background of the situation, the command decided to deploy a ground-based robotic complex equipped with an armored capsule. The total planned route was 58 kilometers, of which 29 kilometers in one direction. After the casualty was loaded on board, the system detected the presence of an enemy drone, prompting the team to increase speed to the maximum possible.
About four kilometers after the start of the movement, during the second attempt to advance, the ground-based robot was hit by an enemy FPV drone. Still, the soldier was quickly taken out of the damaged capsule by personnel from a nearby unit and received immediate medical attention.
According to the release, the use of the armored capsule prevented the casualty from sustaining further injuries during the impact. The soldier is now receiving treatment in the next phase of the medical evacuation chain. The mission had a total duration of 3 hours and 25 minutes. The average speed of the NRK was 18 km/h with a peak of 38 km/h and the damaged robot complex was also salvaged.
