Ukrainians Conduct CSAR Under Artillery Fire for Stuck Drone

Helmet camera video released by Ukrainian forces shows a duo of troops chopping down a small tree with a pioneer's axe in order to rescue their stuck drone.


This video would be entirely unremarkable if it weren't for the fact that these guys are doing this while incoming Russian artillery is literally landing in the vicinity of their CSAR mission. Also, this may be one of the first recorded CSAR missions that involves rescuing a drone instead of a pilot.


Drones are this important to the troops on the ground in Ukraine right now. No waiting until the artillery barrage has paused. No waiting until the lines have moved up a bit further. None of that, rescue the drone right now, because it could be the difference between life and death today.
