Wounded soldiers in Ukraine often wait weeks or months for rescue. Enemy drones and artillery make traditional evacuation too dangerous.
A new Ukrainian aerial medical evacuation drone aims to solve this. It flies into the "kill zone"—the area within enemy fire—to extract the wounded.
This drone could cut evacuation times from months to hours. It also keeps medics out of harm's way.
The technology is not yet in full service. But if it works, it will change how armies treat battlefield injuries.
