Ukrainian Forces Air EVAC Injured Soldier Using Heavy Drone in Historic First

In a historic first for military warfare, Ukrainian forces have successfully air-evacuated a wounded soldier from the battlefield using a heavy hexacopter drone. The unique rescue operation was carried out by troops belonging to the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade.

Due to dense landmines and continuous enemy fire, conventional military vehicles and ambulances were unable to reach the position where the soldier lay injured. Facing these dangerous conditions, commanders decided to deploy a heavy hexacopter drone equipped with a specialized harness.

The injured soldier secured himself to the harness attached beneath the drone. Remote operators then carefully lifted him into the air and flew him safely out of the strike zone to a medical facility.

Officials confirmed that the soldier is currently receiving medical treatment and is out of danger. This marks the first time in military history that a drone has been successfully used to airlift a human from a active combat zone.
