The Ukrainian company Skrintec, which produces bomber drones that Russian forces call “Baba Yaga,” conducted test flights for the delivery of medicines and organs for transplantation. The UAVs were piloted by Ukrainian military personnel from Lasar’s Group.
This was reported by radio technology specialist, military engineer, and expert Serhiy 'Flash' Bezkrestnov.
“Not all technologies in wartime are aimed at destruction,” he noted. According to 'Flash,' the drones carrying medicines flew a significant distance.
The initiative and organization of the tests were led by Professor and cardiac surgeon Borys Todurov, CEO of the Heart Institute of Ukraine’s Ministry of Health. Recently, his doctors removed a bullet from the heart of a Ukrainian soldier who had lived with it for three years in Russian captivity.
“Serhiy defended ‘Azovstal,’ spent 3.5 years in captivity with a bullet in his heart. On the third day after the removal, he was already walking in the yard of the Heart Institute,” Todurov said.
Until 2023, Skrintec specialized in producing COVID tests, but at the start of the Russian invasion, the company became a UAV supplier. According to the Office for Effective Regulation (BRDO), it ranked among the top three most profitable defense tech residents of Diia.City in 2024, with 6.5 billion UAH in revenue.
The pilots who tested the drones for medical delivery are part of Lasar’s Group, a special operations unit within the National Guard of Ukraine. The commander of this unit is Colonel Pavlo “Lazar” Yelizarov, who was a producer before the full-scale invasion began.
