A Ukraine will start delivering drone transplant organs, announced today the Ministry of Health.
Kyiv presents himself as a world leader in the area of drones, producing thousands every month, from long-range devices loaded with explosives to small first-person reconnaissance drones (FPV) for his war against Russia.
“Ukraine launches an experimental project to deliver organs for drone transplantation,” said the Ministry of Health on social networks.
The Ministry's Heart Institute has three specialized drones capable of covering up to 700 kilometers (430 miles), indicated, specified that drone delivery will help speed up the transport of vital organs, which can only be conserved a few hours.
On the front line, Ukraine has long been using drones and remote controlled robots for medical purposes, including for the supply and withdrawal of wounded military personnel from areas under fire.
