A wounded Ukrainian soldier was rescued in an unusual way with the help of a drone during an operation carried out by the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade “Rubizh” of the National Guard of Ukraine.
Surrounded by Russian troops and injured after a poisonous gas attack, the fighter, identified only by the codename Tankist, held out alone for several days, eliminating an enemy group while awaiting support.
Unable to reach the nearest allied base, located 1.5 km away, the battalion devised a plan to send an electric bicycle using a large drone. The first two attempts failed: one drone was shot down and the other failed due to excess weight. Only on the third attempt did the equipment successfully deliver the vehicle to the front line.
Tankist began his return journey, but just meters from safety, he triggered a landmine. Despite the explosion, he survived and was rescued by an infantry team.
A second electric bicycle was later sent, allowing him to finally reach a safe area. The operation, recorded on video, was released on the battalion’s official channel.
