“In the hardest-hit Yunbiao Town, Hengzhou County, Guangxi, a massive flood left more than 15,000 residents stranded and the entire town submerged, making roads impassable for traditional ground rescue vehicles. A drone rescue team drove over 1,700 kilometers and traveled 18 hours to reach the disaster zone.

The team deployed two heavy-lift drones, each with a wingspan of over three meters and a carrying capacity of 100 kilograms, along with three smaller reconnaissance drones. Using drones equipped with ropes, the team successfully hoisted two stranded residents off a flooded rooftop and transported them to safety via inflatable boats.”
