Rescue from the air This military drone is designed to rescue the wounded directly from the battlefield

Rescuing soldiers from combat zones without risking more lives: This is exactly what a new military drone is supposed to make possible. The innovation is currently being tested by NATO troops in Poland.

The drone was tested at the NATO Bemowo Piskie training area in north-eastern Poland. American and Polish troops are currently training new evacuation and supply systems there for emergencies.

In addition to the drone, AI-supported medical and sensor systems are also being used.

The video explainer above shows the opportunities - but also the risks - of the new technology.
