Ukraine’s drone rescue of wounded soldier puts much touted idea into practice

Ukraine carried out an unprecedented drone rescue of a wounded soldier from the frontline, at an undisclosed time and place where Russian drones and landmines made a wheeled ground robot impractical, according to The Kyiv Independent. On October 19 Ukraine's Army shared video of the evacuation showing the soldier securing himself in a harness suspended beneath a heavy six-rotor hexacopter before being flown to safety. The operation was revealed days after separate Ukrainian drones designed for casualty evacuation were deployed for frontline testing.
