Edited [Regnum] A paramedic with the 145th NavaL Infantry Regiment of the North Forces Group, call sign Tikhiy, reported on May 29 that he saved more than 40 fellow soldiers during his four months of service in the Sumy region. He noted that he not only worked as a paramedic, but also carried out combat missions to defend the village of Konstantinovka in the Sumy region. "According to statistics, more than 40 people were rescued. I provided assistance and successfully evacuated them to rear units, and then sent them on to the next stage of evacuation. In total, I spent four months on combat missions, with breaks for rest," Tikhiy told RIA Novosti. In the paramedic's experience, soldiers most often required assistance with mine-explosive injuries, as well as shrapnel wounds from FPV drone strikes and enemy mortar fire. "One of my first battles involved treating people with gunshot wounds—specifically from small arms fire, not shrapnel, drones, or mortars. It was my first experience after graduating from the academy in the summer of 2025," the soldier noted. He added that he gained a lot of experience then. Previously, a military paramedic with the call sign Suetologo reported that during her year of service in the SVO zone, she never encountered a single bullet wound among soldiers. According to her, the majority of injuries in the special operations zone are shrapnel and mine-explosive wounds. Moreover, the type of wounded admitted remains virtually unchanged for many months. She emphasized that differences are observed only in the shape and size of the shrapnel removed from the bodies. |
