Ukrainian heavy-lift hexacopter used for frontline casualty evacuation

Ukraine claims a first frontline MEDEVAC of a wounded soldier using a heavy-lift hexacopter with the casualty clipped in via a harness under the drone. This represents an adaptation of cargo UAVs for personnel extraction when ground evacuation is blocked by mines and drone threat, and points to emerging purpose-built medevac drones like SkyFall’s StarGate with stretcher, AI-assisted navigation, and anti-intercept nets.
