Ukraine Trials a Six-Prop Sky Ambulance, Likely a Niche Solution
Ukraine is testing a heavy six-rotor multicopter that carries a wounded soldier on a stretcher in an effort to speed evacuation when ground assets are scarce, but experts say it would be vulnerable to FPV drones, weather, and fire and is unlikely to become a standard solution; currently, Ukrainian forces rely on unmanned ground vehicles and logistics platforms for casevac, with no dedicated, universally effective system yet.
