Ukraine Carries Out First Drone Airlift of Wounded Soldier from Front Line
The Ukrainian military has released footage of what it claims is the world's first drone airlift of a wounded soldier from the front line.
The 92nd Assault Brigade explained that a ground rescue mission was impossible due to surrounding landmines and high Russian drone activity. They deployed a "heavy" hexacopter, operated remotely, to successfully complete the "very difficult" operation.
BBC Verify has verified the identity of the personnel in the video and found no evidence of manipulation.
