.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, crashed and also burning, began circulating on social media sites. That in itself was actually certainly not unusual: Ukrainian pressures have rejected scores of helicopters given that the Russian infiltration began. So much more surprising was actually the claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been actually downed by a small drone. A video clip discharged by the nation's militaries a few days eventually seemed to be to provide support to that case: the video (see below) reveals a drone reaching one more Russian airplane, this time around an Mi-28 attack helicopter, reportedly requiring it to make an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these fortunate favorites-- or even indicators of a breakthrough in flying warfare?
