The issue

In 2026, evacuating the wounded has become more dangerous than ever before. Due to the massive number of enemy drones, the “kill zone” has expanded from 5–7 km to 15–20 km from the front line.

This significantly complicates logistics and critically threatens the evacuation of the wounded, where speed is crucial. If previously cases when the wounded could not be evacuated from positions for several days were exceptions, now it has become a fairly typical situation.

Today, every evacuation from the front line is a unique rescue operation that requires careful planning and resources. At the same time, more than 95% of the vehicles currently used to evacuate the wounded lack sufficient protection or off-road capability.

…but we have developed a solution.

Solution

Speed and safety are the two main challenges during evacuation.

Addressing one of them often comes at the expense of the other. To continue saving our wounded, we need a solution that balances both factors.

How we do it:

  1. We purchase the best available off-road vehicle in excellent condition.
  2. We equip it with shrapnel protection, electronic warfare (EW) systems, and anti-drone nets.
  3. We reinforce the suspension to maintain speed and maneuverability.
  4. We convert the interior into a medical evacuation module.

Understanding the value of life is what distinguishes us from the enemy. The fight for EVERY wounded soldier is the responsibility and duty of everyone who honors their sacrifice. Moreover, the quality of evacuation efforts is also about our advantage on the battlefield, preserving combat experience, and maintaining the morale of our fighters.

While every element matters in saving the wounded, the key factors remain:

  • the speed of delivering the wounded to medics
  • the experience and professionalism of the medics

High-quality, protected off-road transport and an experienced medic are the key to saving lives.
One vehicle can protect three evacuation crew members and help evacuate around 300 wounded soldiers per year.
