Quote: "For a long time, the cat had stayed with the Khartiia fighters at positions near the line of contact north of Kharkiv, sharing their everyday life and the harsh realities of war. He became a true brother-in-arms to the soldiers, was named Prapor and, the service members said, is quite worthy of combatant status."
Details: The soldiers decided it was time to return Prapor to a normal cat’s life, so they used a ground robotic system for this purpose. First, the drone carried out a logistics mission, delivering all the necessary supplies to the positions. After that, it returned to the company’s permanent base carrying the cat in a pet carrier.
"The evacuation mission lasted for three hours. Prapor was delivered to the final point safe and unharmed. He is now at the company’s base and gradually adapting to a new stage of his life," the brigade added.
