Ukraine war reshapes long-held truths about frontline injuries - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD

[TexasTowelie]

Drone warfare in Ukraine is reshaping how soldiers get wounded and whether they survive their injuries. This episode examines how cheap, persistent drones are collapsing the distance between the frontline and “safe” zones. We break down why injuries are becoming more complex, more severe, and harder to treat in time. The long-established “golden hour” of battlefield medicine is now increasingly out of reach. And as casualty care shifts closer to the frontline, militaries face a growing gap between what is required and what they are prepared for. Benjamin Lee sits down with Karl Johnson, a medical driver who spent three years in Ukraine, both as a humanitarian worker, an animal activist, and a member of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine.
