A soldier from the 475th Separate Assault Regiment who could not walk independently was dragged by a brother-in-arms to an evacuation drone, Ukrainska Pravda reported. The rescue was the sixth carried out with SkyFall's StarGate drone, according to the manufacturer. The soldier, named Serhii, had arm and leg injuries from a Russian FPV drone strike and was taken from the front line by air. SkyFall said ground evacuation was impossible because of difficult terrain, minefields, shelling and systematic Russian attacks. A video provided by SkyFall shows a fellow soldier dragging him toward the drone. He was taken to a stabilisation point and is undergoing treatment. StarGate is an unmanned casualty evacuation platform that SkyFall developed at the military's request, and the developer says it can carry up to 150 kg at speeds of up to 105 km/h. Ukrainska Pravda also recalled an earlier November 2026 mission in which soldiers from the same regiment evacuated a third wounded soldier using a StarGate drone.
