The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine showed unique footage of a wounded man being evacuated to the rear with the help of a wheeled robot.

"On the battlefield, every second can make the difference between life and death. The ground-based robotic system allowed us to evacuate as quickly as possible, with minimal risk to our comrades," the Ukrainian Armed Forces says.

Judging by the published footage, the ground wheeled drone successfully transports the wounded along a broken road to the rear, without putting the military at additional risk and speeding up the evacuation.

New drones in service of Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Ukrainian military has received several new drones in recent months. For example, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine codified and authorized the use of the Protector unmanned ground system with a range of up to 400 km.

The Ministry of Defense has also recently authorized the use of the domestic fiber-optic unmanned aerial FPV system Svitlovod in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In addition, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that the Ukrainian military will use the new Volyniaka unmanned aerial vehicle. The new hexacopter hunts heavily armored targets.

The Armed Forces also received a new tracked ground drone, Murakha, which can carry more than 500 kg and can withstand enemy electronic warfare.
