This story reads like a blockbuster movie script. But this is not a movie, this is real life and real people.
Ukrainian soldiers from the 1st Medical Battalion, using a ground robot, evacuated a wounded Defender from a Russian-controlled settlement.
The battalion noted that this was achieved on the seventh attempt, as the previous six robotic vehicles were destroyed. The mission lasted six hours, during which the robot covered 64 km, of which 37 km were on a damaged wheel after the vehicle hit an anti-personnel mine on its way to a wounded soldier.
While en route to the transfer point, the Russian drone dropped a munition on a vehicle, but the wounded soldier was not injured thanks to the armored capsule.
As a result of the operation, dubbed HVER, the soldier, who had remained in enemy-controlled territory for 33 days after being injured, was evacuated and provided with the necessary medical care.
