Ukrainian troops report using newly developed aerial rescue drones to evacuate wounded soldiers from the frontline after they were hurt during fighting. Accounts describe soldiers being reached by drones that then airlift them away from active battlefield areas.
Two outlets describe a wounded Ukrainian soldier telling of a daring rescue after a drone swoops in and takes him to safety. Another outlet adds timing context, saying a wounded soldier waited two days before being rescued, and links the development to Ukraine’s military starting to use specialized aerial rescue drones for evacuation. A separate report, accompanied by video, says the Ukrainian military used SkyFall’s StarGate drone to evacuate two wounded soldiers, flying roughly 30 km each way while operating amid Russian electronic warfare.
