乌克兰用无人机从前线救回受伤士兵，将战场伤员撤离构想付诸实践
Ukraine’s drone rescue of wounded soldier puts much touted idea into practice
乌克兰军方10月19日公布视频，显示一名受伤士兵被固定在重型六旋翼无人机下方的吊带上，从前线空运至安全地带。由于俄军无人机和地雷的存在，当时无法派出轮式地面机器人执行撤离。此次行动发生在乌克兰 casualty 撤离无人机投入前线测试数日后，超出了美军数十年来同类概念的实验阶段。
Ukraine’s unprecedented drone rescue of a wounded soldier from the battlefield has shown once again how battlefield necessity can spur innovation. The operation was revealed just days after separate Ukrainian drones designed for casualty evacuation were deployed for frontline testing—taking a step beyond the US military’s decades of experimentation with similar concepts.
The drone evacuation of the injured soldier took place at an undisclosed time and place on the frontline where the presence of Russian drones and landmines made it impractical to send in a wheeled ground robot, according to The Kyiv Independent. On October 19, Ukraine’s Army shared a video of the drone evacuation, showing the wounded soldier securing himself in a harness suspended beneath a heavy hexacopter drone with six rotors before being flown to safety.
“This is a historic event, the next stage of evacuating the wounded, which we will all come to,” said Napalm, a programmer of the 92nd separate assault brigade's unmanned ground systems company, who went by his callsign per Ukrainian military practice, in a statement. “Now the serious systematic work begins, so that such missions are carried out constantly.”
