Ukraine’s StarGate Drone Now Evacuating Wounded Soldiers

Ukraine's 475th Separate Assault Regiment says it evacuated two severely wounded soldiers using SkyFall's StarGate aerial casualty-evacuation drone during separate missions over one week. The purpose-built six-rotor aircraft carries a protected stretcher module, with a stated payload of up to 150 kilograms and maximum speed of approximately 105 kilometres per hour. One mission reportedly covered nearly 30 kilometres to reach a casualty and a similar return distance, using AI-assisted navigation amid interference with satellite signals. The operations required support from other units and Vampire strike drones because terrain, water obstacles and hostile FPV drones prevented ground evacuation.
