Ukrainian Soldier's Daring Escape: E-Bike Delivered by Drone Under Fire

Ukrainian Soldier's Daring Escape: E-Bike Delivered by Drone

In a stunning display of resourcefulness and courage, a wounded Ukrainian soldier, identified by his call sign "Tanker", managed to escape from behind enemy lines thanks to a drone-delivered e-bike. The soldier, stationed near Siversk, found himself isolated after a brutal Russian assault left him as the sole survivor of his unit.

The Daring Rescue Plan

Recognizing the impossibility of a conventional rescue, Tanker's brigade conceived a bold plan: air-dropping a 40kg e-bike via drone. The first two attempts failed, with drones being shot down or crashing. However, the third attempt proved successful, delivering the e-bike just within Tanker's reach.

Escape and Further Peril

The soldier's ordeal wasn't over. After pedaling only 400 meters, Tanker struck a landmine, suffering further injuries. Despite this, he pressed on, limping another 200 meters before his unit could reach him. A second e-bike was deployed, allowing him to ride to a pre-determined evacuation point under the cover of darkness and meticulously planned weather conditions.

Meanwhile, amidst these events, Russia launched missile strikes on Kyiv, resulting in tragic loss of life. Ukrainian President Zelensky has renewed calls for stronger international action.
