乌克兰用无人机从前线救回受伤士兵，将战场伤员后送设想付诸实践
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。此次行动发生在乌克兰 casualty evacuation 专用无人机投入前线测试数日后，因俄军无人机与地雷威胁，轮式地面机器人无法前往。第92独立突击旅无人地面系统连程序员 Napalm 称这是"历史性事件"，后续将开展系统性工作以常态化执行此类任务。
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.”
