Ukraine is using cargo drones to carry injured soldiers from the battlefield, The Economist reported. Ukraine has deployed large drones that are able to carry 397-pound weights for up to 43 miles, the report said. A purported US Defence Intelligence Agency document estimated in April that Ukraine had up to 113,500 wounded soldiers, compared to up to 180,000 wounded Russians, since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, Reuters reported. Captured Russian soldiers have also described being left to die. Ukraine's use of drones to transport injured soldiers is one example of how Ukraine is learning lessons about using new technologies, in ways that could ultimately benefit other armies, the report noted.
