Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted an evacuation operation codenamed GVER, using the MAUL evacuation unmanned ground vehicle<\/a> (UGV) to extract a severely wounded soldier from a settlement under enemy control. The operation was planned and carried out<\/a> by the First Separate Medical Battalion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission utilised the MAUL ground robotic complex, developed by specialists from the same battalion. The platform is based on a quad bike, equipped with an internal combustion engine, and capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the mission, the robot struck an anti-personnel mine but remained controllable and continued its task. On the return route, the UGV came under attack from an enemy drone<\/a> that dropped an explosive device; however, the armoured capsule protected the wounded soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total route length was 64 kilometres, of which 37 kilometres were covered with a damaged wheel after the mine detonation. The mission lasted 5 hours and 58 minutes, with an average speed of 13 km\/h and a maximum of 29 km\/h..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
