Robots saved a Ukrainian soldier stuck for 33 days behind Russian lines, navigating a mine and dutar

Ukrainian forces were able to rescue one recently – a wounded soldier stuck for 33 days behind enemy lines – by sending a coffin-shaped robot, by sending a coffin-shaped robot, a drone attack to attack him.

After six failed attempts, the 1st Battalion of the international forces of Ukraine managed to rescue the soldier from A field that lives in Russia in the east of the country.

The remote-use robot, which looks like an armored box mounted on an ATV system and wheels, traveled about 40 kilometers for the mission – about 23 of them with a damaged wheel after hitting the ground. The mission took just under six hours, according to the battalion, which shared a video of the operation on social media this week.

“We received a request from a nearby unit to try to evacuate their soldier,” head of medical communications Vollodymyr Koval told CBS News on Friday. “They were making four attempts on their own, but they didn’t succeed. They turned to us because we had the right strength.”

The most important of those robotic forces, the maul Ground Drone was established directly by the medical battalion specifically for the purpose of evacuating wounded or trapped soldiers.

“The location of the soldier was known, he was contacted, food was sent to him from the air – things were done by drones. We started to develop a plan for his evacuation and study the way,” Koval told CBS News. “Two attempts were unsuccessful due to mines and mines of the enemy waiting on the ground in ambush on the roads. The seventh mission was successful, although the drone hit the anti-personnel.”

The robot came to the soldier, who climbed into the crew capsule, lay down and locked himself inside. But the folded recovery unit was then attacked by a Russian drone as it returned to the battle line. The soldier survived thanks to the armored capsule.

SEVERAL military personnel provided first aid and stabilized the soldier as soon as the robot landed in Ukrainian-controlled territory.

“The wounded hero is now undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. His life has been saved,” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video statement Thursday evening. He praised the soldiers of the 1st Battalion for their work, stressing the importance of such a life and repetition.

“We will effectively develop this kind of technological fund of our army – many robotic systems that work on the front, deploy modern equipment that helps our combat results, and evacuate our wounded warriors,” said Zelenskyy.

Koval told CBS news that it is not the first and may not be the last ground-based warmer made by the battalion.

“This is just a special case of persistence that carries an important message for the military and the community. We are actively trying to use unplanned evacuation from the battlefield, directly from the front line of our fighting,” he said. “Evacuation is now very difficult because of the high volume of fire, which can be seen in this video. But all Ukrainian soldiers should know that they will tell him, that they will try to save him.”

The mal robot used in the operation was originally developed by 1st medical, but now it is manufactured and sold by the Ukrainian security company DevDroid, which bought a license to the design.

According to the Battalion, the Malul Robot “is a displacement platform powered by an Internal Combustion Engine, which allows it to reach speeds of up to 70 kph (43 mph). It has a special armored capsule for air protection.”

The units are now being sold by DevDroid for around $19,000 each.

Earlier this year, the Ekraine Guard’s 13th Khartia Brigade using the zmiy-500 Ground Drone, a simple robot that provides minimal protection to the person riding it, by sending wounded soldiers at the right time, by delivering a press release about the Brigade.

The drone covered more than 20 miles and completed the operation without incident, the Brigade said.
