乌克兰无人机将受伤士兵从战场救出
Ukraine’s drone rescue of wounded soldier puts much touted idea into practice
乌克兰军方公布了一次无人机救援行动，一名受伤士兵用吊带固定在六旋翼重型无人机下方，被飞送至安全地点。行动发生的时间和前线地点未公开；当地俄方无人机和地雷使地面轮式机器人难以进入。
这次救援把伤员撤离无人机从长期设想带入战场实际应用，报道也将其与乌克兰近期的前线测试及美国军方数十年的相关探索并置。
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.”
