The German corporation Rheinmetall has delivered a new mobile rescue station to the Defense Forces of Ukraine, built on several all-wheel-drive trucks, the company's press service reports.
The modular system handed over to Ukraine consists of three truck trailers and tractors for them.
Each trailer is equipped with two container modules with extendable elements. When assembled, these elements form a functional medical center with various zones, including emergency care, X-ray, operating theatre, and intensive care unit.
The company notes that the aid station can be relocated, set up, and put into operation very quickly.
In addition, Ukrainian military personnel underwent training at the Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme GmbH site in Meckenbeuren. The training focused primarily on operating the mobile infrastructure and the technical equipment inside the containers.
Among the equipment in the complexes are ventilators, X-ray machines, monitoring equipment, and important surgical instruments.
Rheinmetall emphasized that the company has received orders for further deliveries and training courses, which will be carried out by the end of 2026.
