Wounded Soldier Uses Drone-Delivered E-Bike to Evacuate Battlefield

Dramatic footage has emerged of an injured Ukrainian soldier escaping from behind enemy lines with the aid of an e-bike delivered by a drone.

The Rubizh Brigade, a unit within the National Guard of Ukraine, released the video showing the soldier, identified as Tanker, receiving the e-bike via drone. Tanker recounted initial difficulties in operating the vehicle.

While Tanker successfully commenced his escape, his journey was cut short roughly halfway to his destination when the e-bike struck a mine, resulting in its destruction. Fortunately, Tanker sustained no further injuries.

Mykola, a fellow soldier, witnessed Tanker completing the remainder of his trek on foot, eventually reaching a secure area where he could be safely evacuated.
