Ten years ago they smuggled cigarettes with their drones, now they daringly rescued an injured soldier from the front.

Ukrainian forces successfully rescued a wounded soldier using a cargo drone, a method previously untested in combat. The operation, which took place on October 4, involved extensive planning and coordination due to the dangers posed by Russian drones targeting medical units. The soldier, Konstantin Vlasenko, had been injured and unable to leave his position. The drone was equipped to transport him safely to his comrades, showcasing a shift in evacuation tactics amidst ongoing threats. This innovative approach reflects the evolving use of technology in warfare, particularly in high-risk environments where traditional rescue methods are compromised.
