.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, crashed and also burning, began distributing on social networks. That in itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian forces have actually obliterated ratings of choppers because the Russian infiltration started. So much more surprising was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been actually downed by a tiny drone. A video released due to the country's militaries a few times eventually seemed to give credence to that case: the video footage (see below) presents a drone hitting another Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 assault helicopter, apparently compeling it to make an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these fortunate hits-- or signs of an advance in aerial war?
