Ukrainian military carries out world's first frontline aerial evacuation of a wounded soldier by drone
The 92nd Separate Assault Brigade, together with other units and the Ukrainian drone manufacturer Gurzuf Defence, evacuated a wounded infantryman from a frontline position using a heavy hexacopter drone. Ground evacuation was not possible because of intense Russian drone activity and mined terrain. The operation was announced on 19 October.
