Due to the large number of Russian drones in the sky and the mined terrain, it was impossible to evacuate him using a ground robotic complex.<\/p>\n<p> Then the fighters of the 92nd Airborne Brigade, together with other units, decided to use a heavy hexacopter made by the Ukrainian manufacturer Gurzuf Defence. The company provided the drone for the operation free of charge, and it was piloted by a UAV operator from the 30th brigade.<\/p>\n<p> The 92nd Airborne Brigade said that, together with the manufacturer, they developed a technical solution that allowed the drone to transport a person without losing stability in the air.<\/p>\n<p> In particular, the military managed to avoid the drone from tipping over and rocking violently during the flight with the wounded man.<\/p>\n<p> The operation was successful. The soldier was saved, he is currently undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. There is no threat to his life.<\/p>\n<p> The brigade emphasized that such an evacuation opens up new opportunities for rescuing soldiers on the front lines, especially where it is impossible to use conventional transport or ground robotic complexes due to shelling, mining, or enemy drone activity.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time in history, the Ukrainian military has evacuated a wounded soldier from the front line using an aerial drone.
