Soldiers from the 33rd Separate Assault Brigade successfully evacuated two elderly civilians from the active combat zone using a ground-based robotic system.
According to Censor.NET, Ukrainian assault troops spotted the civilians in the ‘red’ zone and reported this to their command. As it was impossible to leave their positions, a decision was taken to carry out the evacuation using a ground-based robotic system fitted with an armoured trailer.
During the evacuation, Russian forces attacked the robotic system twicewith FPV drones, causing critical damage to the robot and bringing it to a standstill. Throughout the night, operators continuously monitored the situation and delivered food and water to the civilians using drones.
At dawn, a second robot from a neighbouring unit arrived at the damaged complex and completed the evacuation. The elderly people were successfully transported to a safe zone. No civilians were injured as a result of the attack.
Footage of the highly complex evacuation operation was released by the 33rd Separate Assault Brigade.
