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

Faced with this situation, the command decided to use a ground robotic complex equipped with an armored capsule. The total planned route was 58 kilometers, including 29 kilometers one way. After the casualty was boarded, the system detected the presence of an enemy drone, leading 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 robot was hit by an enemy FPV drone. Despite this, the soldier was quickly extracted from the damaged capsule by soldiers from a nearby unit and received immediate medical attention.
According to the press release, the use of the armored capsule prevented the injured person from suffering further damage upon impact. The soldier now continues his treatment at the next stage of the medical evacuation chain. The mission lasted a total of 3 hours and 25 minutes. The average speed of the NRK was 18 km/h, peaking at 38 km/h, and the damaged robotic complex was also recovered.
