For the first time, Ukrainian forces began using UAVs intended for rescue and medical evacuation operations. A Stargate six-copter UAV was able to rescue two soldiers with severe limb injuries who were stuck inside a buffer zone near the Russian border. The new UAV includes a capsule designed to transport casualties with a load of up to 150 kilograms, and is equipped with self-navigation techniques and blocking means to resist Russian electronic systems, which shortened the evacuation time, which involves artillery bombardment, from long hours to less than 15 minutes per flight, according to the AP news agency.
