After that, the wounded are evacuated to medical centers and field hospitals, where specialists carry out further treatment.

The surgeon, Captain Kutbedinov Khadyatullo with the call sign Avicena, noted that a military medic must remain resolute and vigilant in any situation.

"If the vessels are damaged, every second counts. <...> In practice, we see it daily in our work, these are mainly shrapnel wounds: lower limbs, upper limbs, torso," he shared.

The Ministry of Defense noted that the work of evacuation groups in terms of risk is not inferior to the combat work of attack aircraft, as they work under the constant threat of strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and mortar fire. Despite the difficult conditions, it is thanks to the professionalism of military doctors that it is possible to save the lives of military personnel and return many of them to service.
