.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, collapsed as well as burning, started circulating on social media. That in itself was not unique: Ukrainian forces have shot down credit ratings of choppers given that the Russian invasion started. Much more unexpected was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been actually downed through a tiny drone. An online video discharged by the nation's armed forces a couple of days later on appeared to offer support to that insurance claim: the video (see listed below) shows a drone striking yet another Russian plane, this time around an Mi-28 strike chopper, apparently forcing it to make an emergency situation landing. Was actually these privileged smash hits-- or even signs of an advancement in aerial warfare?
