Like a sci-fi movie: A drone lifted a wounded Ukrainian soldier and rescued him from the battlefield

A Ukrainian soldier from the 30th Mechanized Brigade who was wounded on the front line remained in a mined area under the threat of Russian drones. After ground evacuation was impossible, a heavy six-propeller drone manufactured by Gurzuf Defence lifted him into the air and flew him to safety. The Ukrainian army claims this is a historic precedent.

A Ukrainian soldier from the 30th Mechanized Brigade who was wounded on the front line remained in a mined area under the threat of Russian drones, after ground evacuation was impossible. Personnel from the unmanned systems unit of the 92nd Assault Brigade decided on an aerial rescue using a heavy six-propeller drone manufactured by the Ukrainian company Gurzuf Defence, which is usually used for attack. The company provided the drone free of charge and helped adapt it to carry a person. The operation ended successfully, the wounded soldier was rescued and is receiving medical treatment. The Ukrainian army claims this is a historic precedent. The 14th Mechanized Brigade and the 10th Corps also participated in the operation. The exact date and location of the operation were not disclosed for security reasons.
