Armored capsules of the ground robot complex (NRK) were used to evacuate wounded Ukrainian soldiers from infantry positions after an enemy FPV drone attack.
The operation was carried out as part of a mission dubbed “Fixy,” the 1st Independent Medical Battalion said.
According to the battalion, the soldier was injured by an enemy drone drop and was unable to move on his own in an infantry position. The route to the evacuation point passed through territory saturated with enemy forces, making it impossible to use conventional means of evacuation.

In response to this situation, the command decided to deploy a ground robot complex equipped with an armored capsule. The total planned distance was 58 kilometers, 29 kilometers each way. After taking the wounded, the system detected the presence of an enemy drone and the team accelerated to maximum speed possible.
Approximately 4 kilometers into the movement, during the second forward attempt, the ground robot was attacked by an enemy FPV drone. However, soldiers from nearby units quickly extracted the wounded soldiers from the damaged capsule and provided immediate medical attention.
According to the statement, the use of armored capsules prevented wounded soldiers from sustaining further damage in the event of an impact. The soldier is currently being treated at the next step in the medical evacuation chain. The total duration of the mission was 3 hours and 25 minutes. The average speed of NRK was 18 kilometers per hour, the maximum speed was 38 kilometers per hour, and the damaged robot complex was also recovered.
