Ukraine Uses Aerial Drone to Evacuate Wounded Soldier in First Reported Operation
Ukraine's 92nd Separate Assault Brigade successfully used an aerial drone to evacuate a wounded soldier from the battlefield, marking the first reported instance of such an operation. The Ayudag-6 hexacopter drone lowered a winch to the ground, allowing the soldier to be lifted to safety for further medical treatment. The soldier had been in a dangerous position for nearly 18 months, and conventional rescue attempts posed deadly risks. Both Ukraine and Russia have extensively used drones in the ongoing conflict since February 2022.
