Rheinmetall delivers fourth mobile rescue station to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The modular system consists of three truck-trailers. Each of these truck-trailers is equipped with two container modules that have extendable elements. When assembled, these extensions form a functional medical treatment centre with various areas, including triage, emergency care, X-ray, an operating theatre and an intensive care unit. The aid station can be relocated, set up and put into operation within a very short time. Mobile field hospitals are of utmost importance to the Ukrainian armed forces in order to provide quick and professional treatment to wounded soldiers.

“The Ukrainian soldiers participated in the training in a highly professional and committed manner”, said Armin Krenn, CEO of Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme GmbH (engl. ‘mobile systems’). “Especially under the current operational conditions, safe handling of the systems and of the medical equipment is crucial for saving lives on the front line”.

The training of Ukrainian personnel focused both on operating the mobile infrastructure as well as on the medical and technical equipment inside the containers. This includes ventilators, X-ray machines, monitoring equipment and important surgical instruments. Procedures for rapid commissioning, patient care and cooperation between treatment teams were also taught.

The highly modern rescue station was designed to be relocated and made ready for operation within a very short time, even in difficult terrain and weather conditions. Not only does it offer protection and medical capacities close to the front line, but its 20ft containers also allow it to be easily integrated into logistics and command structures.

With the delivery and training of the fourth system, Rheinmetall is once again upholding the defence capabilities of the Ukrainian armed forces, and enhances medical care for the people in the Ukraine.

Further deliveries and training courses have been ordered and will be implemented by the end of 2026.
