An armored capsule from a ground robotic complex (NRK) was used to rescue a wounded Ukrainian soldier during the evacuation of an infantry position following an enemy FPV drone attack.
The operation was part of a mission called “Fixy,” according to the Separate First Medical Battalion.
According to the battalion, the serviceman was hit by a drop released by an enemy drone and remained immobilized in an infantry position, unable to move on his own. The route to the evacuation point crossed territory saturated with adversary forces, which made the use of traditional rescue methods impossible.

Given the circumstances, the command decided to deploy a ground robotic complex equipped with an armored capsule. The total planned route was 58 kilometers, with 29 kilometers one way. After the wounded soldier was loaded, 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 movement, already on the second attempt to advance, the ground robot was struck by an enemy FPV drone. Even so, the soldier was promptly removed from the damaged capsule by troops from a nearby unit and received immediate medical care.
According to the statement, the use of the armored capsule prevented the wounded soldier from suffering further injuries during the impact. The serviceman is now undergoing treatment in the next stage of the medical evacuation chain. The mission lasted a total of 3 hours and 25 minutes. The NRK’s average speed was 18 km/h, with a peak of 38 km/h, and the damaged robotic complex was also recovered.
