US EditionUkrainian Soldier Escapes on E-Bike Delivered by Drone
DONETSK OBLAST, UKRAINE, JUL 31 – The Rubizh 4th Brigade used heavy-lift drones to deliver an 88-pound e-bike enabling a trapped soldier to escape, with two drones lost in the operation, officials said.
- On Wednesday, the Rubizh 4th Brigade of Ukraine's National Guard used FPV drones to drop roughly 88-pound e-bikes to a stranded soldier, marking a rare battlefield vehicle airlift.
- Amid the drone rescue, Tankist was the sole survivor of four Ukrainian soldiers encircled by Russian troops, according to the brigade claim.
- Despite payload limits, brigade’s team said it took three tries, with the first drone shot down and the second crashed after motors burned out.
- After the successful delivery, Tankist then emerged from enemy lines, walking several hundred meters to a friendly position where a second e-bike was flown in, brigade claims.
- This operation suggests beyond explosive payloads, FPV drones are emerging in battlefield logistics, as brigade claims highlight their evolving role in combat zones.
