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 “Fixy” mission, the 1st Separate Medical Battalion reported.
According to the battalion, the soldier was wounded by a charge launched by an enemy drone and remained immobilized in an infantry position, unable to move by his own means. The route to the evacuation point crossed territory saturated with hostile forces, which made it impossible to use traditional rescue methods.

Under these conditions, 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 one way. After boarding the wounded, the system detected the presence of an enemy drone, prompting the team to increase speed to the maximum possible.
About four kilometers from the start of the movement, already on the second attempt to advance, the ground robot was hit by an enemy FPV drone. However, 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 from suffering additional injuries following the impact. The serviceman now continues treatment in the next stage 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.
