alt Hacker NewsUkraine claims first drone evacuation of wounded soldier
Comments
If they can pull them out, they can also drop fresh ones down.
Not sure if that is better than just using a helicopter however.
It reaffirms that Ukrainians are:
1. very advanced with drones 2. caring about their soldiers
Disclaimer: I am a proud Ukrainian.
I hope in the future all wars are fought by drones. Just don't make them unstoppable like in that Horizon videogame.
NGL, reading this gave me the feels...
Also, next wartime invention: air mines.
Another Ukrainian innovation using drones: transporting transplant organs.

The German company Avilus has shown a medevac drone, I don't know if it's been used to transport a live human (even uninjured) for a test yet.

As a Ukrainian, I really wish my country could innovate in areas other than evacuation of wounded people from our own soil.
Was it two years ago, or even longer, that Akhmat troops claimed Ukrainian drones tried to abduct their men in the field? Who knows, it might end up actually happen one day. Wild.

They've been doing drone evacuations for years. What makes this different is the drone is flying.
