Following a drone-dropped munition strike against a Russian soldier, fellow Russian troops move in to extract and treat the injured man.

The footage itself makes it hard to determine the nature of the man's injuries. He's conscious and moving when they arrive at his location. However, he has concerning breath sounds which could mean anything from a penetrating chest wound causing his lungs to collapse, blood or vomit blocking his airway, or possibly even a brain injury. They treat some shrapnel injuries on his arms and place him in the back of an ambulance.

It's not well known what happens to wounded Russian troops immediately following their evacuation; whether they are treated at a local civilian hospital, a Russian military combat support hospital, or if they are immediately taken out of country back to Russia.
