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”, according to reports from the First Separate Medical Battalion.
According to the battalion, the soldier was hit by a bomb dropped by an enemy drone and remained immobilized in an infantry position, without the possibility of moving independently. The route to the evacuation point crossed territory saturated by opposing forces, making the use of traditional rescue methods impractical.

Faced with this scenario, the command decided to use a ground robotic complex equipped with an armored capsule. The total planned route was 58 kilometers, of which 29 kilometers were in one direction. After boarding the wounded man, 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, already on 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 statement, the use of the armored capsule prevented the injured person from suffering further damage during the impact. The soldier now continues 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 robotic complex was also recovered.
