Details: Fedorov reported that the robot picked up the soldier directly from the front line, under intense Russian fire, whose positions were only 20 metres away.

"During the operation, Zmii came under heavy enemy fire. The ground robotic complex withstood hits from 5.45 calibre bullets, close explosions of 152 mm shells, a mine explosion and an attack by an enemy FPV drone — and only temporarily lost contact. It was restored, and the robot successfully transported the wounded soldier to the evacuation point, where medics were already waiting for him. The soldier is alive and is currently undergoing rehabilitation," the government official said.

Zmii Logistic ground robotic complex weighs 850 kg, has a speed of up to 10 km/h and a range of 20 km. It takes up to 3 minutes to deploy and has a load capacity of 500 kg.

Background: Earlier, the Zmii-500 ground drone of the Khartia brigade rescued a wounded soldier, covering a distance of 34 km. In addition, the 118th Mechanised Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also demonstrated how they rescued a soldier with the help of a ground robotic complex.
