Video: Soldiers from the 42nd Mechanized Brigade evacuated a wounded invader who wanted to surrender

A Russian soldier, after attempting to surrender to Ukrainian defenders, was struck by an FPV drone operated by his own forces. Despite this, soldiers from the motorized infantry battalion of the 42nd Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Hero of Ukraine Valeriy Gudzi rescued the wounded invader and evacuated him from the battlefield using a ground-based robotic system (GRS).

According to the Ukrainian military, after Ukrainian Air Force pilots destroyed the enemy bunker, a Russian soldier emerged from it. He decided to surrender to Ukrainian drones.

However, instead of being able to lay down his arms, the Russian soldier found himself under attack by a drone operated by his own forces.

According to the 42nd Mechanized Brigade, the Russian command directed an FPV drone against one of its own soldiers, who was attempting to surrender to Ukrainian defenders. As a result of the attack, the Russian soldier was wounded.

After the strike by the Russian drone, soldiers from the motorized infantry battalion of the 42nd Separate Mechanized Brigade decided to evacuate the wounded soldier.

Ukrainian defenders reached him using a ground-based robotic system and transported him off the battlefield.

The story of the Russian soldier’s rescue was released along with a video showing the course of the operation.

The video of the operation was posted on the 42nd Separate Mechanized Brigade’s page.
