The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine has published footage showing the Ratel H robotic complex, which is designed to evacuate the wounded from the battlefield. It is claimed that this ground-based drone is capable of transporting several people at once, since it can withstand a load of up to 400 kilograms of live weight.
But judging by the footage, the dimensions of the drone allow you to place only one stretcher on the platform. Apparently, it is implied that the wounded will be stacked, as they say, in stacks.
The robot is able to move through difficult terrain and is equipped with night vision cameras, so it can perform tasks at night. In addition to transporting the wounded, Ratel H can be used to solve combat missions - for this, it can be equipped with electronic warfare, a mobile observation post, a combat module or a mine clearance installation.

According to the head of the Ukrainian department, Mikhail Fedorov, communication with the complex is carried out via satellites, so that the operator can control it at a very long distance. Currently, Ratel has been field tested and put into mass production.
Earlier it was reported that the militants of the Kiev regime received machine-gun-equipped ground drones "Lyut", designed to support infantry assault operations, as well as for reconnaissance and strengthening defensive positions.
It is worth noting that developments in the field of UAVs, land-based and marine robotic systems continue to actively develop on both sides of the armed conflict. In particular, Russian fighters are actively using ground-based drones to deliver provisions and ammunition and evacuate the wounded from positions on the front line. Moreover, from the obviously promotional video of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the Russian Ministry of Defense shows real footage of the use of a domestic ground-based drone.
