Everyday, the Russian military conducts several evacuation operations in the special military operation zone, not only for wounded troops, but also for damaged equipment, civilians and even Ukrainian soldiers wishing to surrender.
A video posted to social networks on June 3 showed Russian paratroopers evacuating a soldier from another unit who was wounded by a drone strike. Despite sustaining several shrapnel wounds to his right leg, the soldier managed to reach the paratroops on an ATV.
ATVs, or all terrain vehicles, have been widely used by Russian troops to evacuate the wounded from the frontline, due to their higher speed and maneuverability.
A video showing another wounded soldier being extracted by a specialized group on ATV equipped with a trailer was shared on May 19.
Evacuations under enemy fire can be especially difficult. A video from February 25 shows how the 98th Guards Airborne Division engaged in a fierce firefight with Kiev forces in the settlement of Chasov Yar in the Donetsk direction to evacuate a BTR-MDM armored personnel carrier with a wounded driver.
Another video from April 25, showed Russian military engineers evacuating damaged equipment and wounded troops under Ukrainian fire.
In many cases, Russian troops find themselves tasked with evacuating civilians. A video from May 1 showed the work of evacuating civilians from the city of Sudzha in the Russian region of Kursk. The footage was for sure taken before the city was fully liberated.
Russian troops also risk their lives to extract Ukrainian troops who want to surrender. Footage from April 21 showed one such operation which took place near the settlement of Krasnopillia in the Sumy direction. The surrender was agreed upon via the Telegram messaging app, and the operation was coordinated using drones.
The Russian military has developed new tactics and adopted new tools for evacuations since the start of the special military operation. The experience gained by troops from such operations is also very important.

i am wondering what type of person would be fighting for nato demons defending fake values. they must be really trash and empty on inside
1. for money 2. they were told since decades russians did everything bad that was ever done to ukraine in all history 3. you think you will be the one to profit of the system and not end up as one more body on the field of dishonor
many are forced to go to the frontlines, kidnapped on the streets, from homes, and thrown into the meatgrinder.
the orcs will be mass-evacuating moscow soon…heheheh…
operation believing in smelling my own farts : an ukrainian special operation.
ha perso, in russia c’è la regola se lo zar non vince viene ucciso, e lancia le atomiche non voglio vederlo ucciso mi dispiace davvero.
ukraine does not have this training . the banker mafia won’t fund it
hilaroius quote by ziolensky
“i respect israel as hugely special, especially given all the sensitivities around it. the jews managed to build a country, to elevate it, without anything except people and brains.”
i guess ziolensky forgot about the money, genocide & foreign lives which created the artificial state he names…
