Ukraine’s United24 news shared a video of the historic first. It also explained that the wounded infantryman was stuck in a heavily mined area, guarded by Russian kamikaze drones . During the rescue, Ukrainian forces used a heavy Gurzuf Defense hexacopter to retrieve the soldier from a heavily mined area. It represented a significant challenge due to the presence of mines, Russian drone activity, and the inherent risks of aerial transport. The mission highlights the innovative use of drone technology in a conflict zone.
