.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, collapsed and burning, started distributing on social networks. That in itself was actually not unusual: Ukrainian pressures have actually shot down credit ratings of helicopters because the Russian intrusion began. Far more surprising was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been downed through a little drone. A video recording launched due to the nation's armies a handful of times later on seemed to be to offer credence to that case: the video (find below) reveals a drone striking yet another Russian airplane, this time an Mi-28 strike chopper, supposedly obliging it to create an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these privileged hits-- or signs of an advancement in flying combat?
