   Ukraine's SkyFall unveils StarGate drone to evacuate wounded soldiers

   Kyiv-based defense technology company SkyFall demonstrated its StarGate aerial medical evacuation drone to press, showing the craft lifting off with a person carried in an enclosed pod suspended under the chassis. SkyFall says StarGate can carry up to 150 kilograms, has a one-way range of 15 kilometers, cruises at 65 km/h and tops out at 105 km/h, can be deployed in about 10 minutes, and has a basic price of $50,000. The drone carries anti-drone nets and electronic jamming, and according to a SkyFall spokesperson it has AI functions that let it operate fully autonomously when GPS is denied or signals are spoofed or blocked, though it is normally flown by a remote operator. The company says the concept came from a commander of the 475th Separate Assault Regiment seeking safer evacuations, and that it aims to build around 1,000 units per month by the end of 2026.
