US EditionUkrainian Soldier Escapes From Russian Soil on E-Bike Delivered by Drone
NO LOC, AUG 1 – A Ukrainian soldier used a drone to receive an electric bike, enabling a swift escape from siege conditions without direct confrontation.
- On August 1, 2025, an injured Ukrainian soldier called Tanker escaped from Russian-held territory near Siversk using an e-bike delivered by a drone.
- Tanker was surrounded on all sides and unable to evacuate on his own due to leg injuries and the enemy's widespread presence preventing ground rescue.
- After two failed drone delivery attempts—one drone was shot down and another crashed from motor overheating—a third heavy-lift drone successfully lowered the 40-kilogram bike to Tanker's position.
- Tanker managed to ride the bike for 400 meters before detonating a distant mine that threw him into the air; despite his injury, he hobbled another 200 meters until his comrades reached and rescued him, while he noted that their drones provided as much aerial support as possible.
- This operation demonstrated innovative drone use in combat evacuations under high risk, reflecting ongoing intense fighting and efforts to compel peace negotiations with Moscow.
