In the Dobropil direction, the Ukrainian military conducted an evacuation, which required several types of equipment at once. First, over a liter of blood was delivered to the seriously wounded soldier by drone. Then, a monowheel was dropped from a drone-bomber, which helped him overcome 2 km to the evacuation NRC.

The 14th Brigade of the NGU "Chervona Kalina" shared the details of the operation.
The wounded man had lost a lot of blood, and a normal evacuation was too dangerous due to Russian drones. Therefore, the command decided to deliver the blood directly to the position using a heavy bomber drone. In addition, in order to carry out the transfusion in the field, the military contacted the chief of the medical company. He supervised the procedure remotely, via video link.
After the transfusion, the wounded man's condition stabilized, but it was dangerous to leave him in position. It was necessary to get to a place as quickly as possible, from where a ground robot could pick up the soldier. That's when the idea of using a monowheel arose. It was supposed to help quickly pass through an area where it was not yet possible to use an NRC.
"We dropped a monowheel from the bomber, which allowed us to move to the rear a little faster than on foot," the brigade said.
The soldiers rode the monowheel for about 2 km to a point where the IED could be used. The robot carried the wounded man another 14 km while a cover group protected the route from Russian attacks.
Previously, dev.ua told the story of the NRC operator Andriy, who shared unusual cases of the use of ground robots on the front. For example, once the military stopped a logistics NRC that was passing by with gestures and asked to pick up a wounded comrade. Although the robot was not intended for evacuating people, it was able to deliver the soldier to a stabilization point.
