Demonstration of the use of mechanical stretchers used to evacuate troops in Ukraine

A crowd-funded remote-controlled mechanical stretcher invented by a toy designer is now evacuating injured Ukrainian soldiers from the front lines. Ukraine’s ministry of defence said that the stretcher mounted on small tracks can carry up to 150kg over rough terrain, with its controller able to operate it safely from a distance of 100 metres. It quoted a Ukrainian combat medic as saying that the mechanical stretcher made it far safer to evacuate injured soldiers under fire. #ukraine #war #frontline Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
