Footage has been published online of the first test flight of the Ukrainian StarGate evacuation drone, which is capable of transporting wounded servicemen from the battlefield. The drone’s first passenger was an engineer from SkyFall, who personally tested his team’s creation.
According to Censor.NET, in April this year, the SkyFall engineer flew the first version of StarGate to test the drone’s capabilities before handing it over to the Ukrainian Defence Forces.
StarGate is described as Ukraine’s first specialised unmanned platform for the aerial evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield. The drone is capable of lifting a payload of up to 150 kilograms and covering a distance of up to 30 kilometres.
Following successful trials, the drone was handed over to the Ukrainian military.
According to available information, StarGate has already been used to evacuate five wounded defenders.
