Ukraine's 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade of the National Guard, dubbed "Rubizh," has just shared video of a large quadcopter drone that it used to conduct just such a mission. Details from a frontline war zone are almost impossible to verify, but the brigade has shared plenty of footage, including shots of the drone lifting the bike and a soldier riding it back to safety along a treeline. (Both sides are now making widespread use of e-bikes and motorcycles for quick infantry assaults after three years of drone warfare have wiped out many of the traditional armored vehicles.)
