Ukraine carries out aerial drone evacuation of a wounded soldier

Ukraine has successfully carried out an aerial drone evacuation of a wounded soldier from the frontlines. The operation was conducted in the Donetsk region, where the soldier was airlifted to a medical facility. The drone, reportedly a Ukrainian-made 'Forpost' unmanned aerial vehicle, flew to the soldier's location and hovered above him while a medic was lowered down to retrieve the wounded soldier. The medic then attached a stretcher to the drone, which lifted the soldier to safety. The operation was carried out in a region controlled by Russian-backed separatists, where fighting has been ongoing. The Ukrainian military has been using drones to evacuate wounded soldiers in recent months, with this being the first reported instance of a drone being used for a medical evacuation operation.
