Russian servicemen evacuated a family with a child from Konstantinovka

The operators of FPV drones of the 1194th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 4th separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Southern Group of Forces helped to evacuate a family with a child from a dilapidated house in Konstantinovka. This was announced on July 9 by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

During a monitoring flight of residential areas of Konstantinovka, operators of the reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) of the 1194th motorized Rifle Regiment of the 4th separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Southern Group of Forces found civilians in one of the dilapidated houses.

After making sure that the drone belonged to the Russian Armed Forces, a family with a child using a handwritten poster informed them of their location and asked for help. In response, the operators of the FPV drones delivered them a walkie-talkie and a note describing a safe route.

"We decided to take a chance and write "family with a child". We went out, and I took this poster and showed it to you. <...> I get on the radio, on this connection, and the first words are: "Hello, the army of the Russian Federation welcomes you. How many people are there? Wounded, not wounded?" I'm listing, the connection is going badly, but I'm like this, I'm trembling all over, and then these words: "Get ready, we'll prepare you for withdrawal," said Yulia, a resident of Konstantinovka.

After that, the drone operators escorted the family to the evacuation point, from where the fighters took the residents of Konstantinovka by car to a safe area. There they received medical care, were given hot tea, and the evacuees thanked the Russian military for their support and assistance.
