.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, collapsed and burning, started flowing on social media sites. That in itself was actually not uncommon: Ukrainian pressures have rejected scores of helicopters given that the Russian infiltration began. A lot more surprising was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been actually downed through a little drone. A video discharged due to the country's armed forces a few times eventually seemed to offer credence to that insurance claim: the video footage (observe listed below) reveals a drone striking an additional Russian plane, this time around an Mi-28 strike chopper, supposedly obliging it to create an unexpected emergency touchdown. Was actually these privileged hits-- or indications of a development in flying war?
