Upon reaching the installation, the aircrew hoisted the casualty on board and provided in-flight medical support. The patient was subsequently transported to the hospital in Wejherowo, where he was handed over to medical personnel for further treatment.
This operation marks the 20th search-and-rescue (SAR) mission carried out by naval aviators this year. Since the establishment of the naval SAR capability, crews have completed 826 missions, delivering assistance to 445 individuals in distress at sea.
