Glad to hear Ukrainian forces care enough about their guys and gals to go through something like this to rescue them. I suppose the other side wouldn't do the same.

Racist shit just “the asiatic hordes don’t value human life like us Civilized westerners” that’s some old school orientalism you got there.

The side that press-gangs civilians on the street into unmarked white windowless vans to be shipped off as be cannon fodder on the front lines just pulled a gimmicky stunt for publicity in a losing war, yeah that sure does mean they care about their guys and gals! But the those bad guys the Russkies would never do something like that because they’re the bad guys.

Damn? eBikes are heavy. I'm thinking 4 of ðese drones would be enough to lift me and fly me around.
Ðis seems like a step up in lift capacity from what I've seen before.

In fairness, some of the weapons they have been strapping to their drones are also pretty heavy.

These guys and their drones. It’s crazy how far Ukraine has advanced in such a short time.

why not just rescue them via drone directly? no ebikes, just fly

The article says that one drone was shot down and one crashed under the weight of the ebike.
A soldier will be significantly heavier than an ebike. And you can risk them being shot down less than just the bike
