Ukraine evacuates wounded soldier from the front using a cargo drone over 16 kilometres
Ukraine's armed forces have for the first time during the war evacuated a wounded soldier from the front by air using a cargo drone. The infantryman was carried about 16 kilometres.
Ukraine's armed forces, who are fighting Russia's invasion, have carried out a rescue operation for a wounded soldier using a cargo drone for the first time in wartime conditions. The injured infantryman was flown out of the front line's "grey zone" over a distance of about 16 kilometres.
The "grey zone" is the area between the positions of the two warring sides, where access is highly restricted. The operation was described as unique and as the first of its kind in the conditions of this war.
The source report gives no further details about how the operation unfolded, the type of drone used or the soldier's condition.
