VIDEO Ambulanțele zburătoare, în premieră pe front în Ucraina: un soldat rănit, salvat cu o dronă uriașă • Newsweek România

The Ukrainian army successfully evacuated an injured soldier using a large hexacopter drone, marking a potential shift in military drone applications. The operation took place in a dangerous area where traditional rescue methods were not feasible due to mines and enemy drones. The soldier, from the 30th Mechanized Brigade, was safely transported under the drone to receive medical care. This unprecedented use of drones for medical evacuation could revolutionize battlefield rescue operations. Ukrainian defense companies are developing specialized drones for such missions, addressing the challenges of retrieving soldiers from heavily monitored zones.
