.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, crashed and burning, began circulating on social networking sites. That by itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian forces have actually rejected credit ratings of choppers given that the Russian infiltration started. So much more surprising was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been downed through a tiny drone. A video recording discharged due to the country's militaries a few times eventually seemed to provide support to that case: the footage (find listed below) presents a drone attacking yet another Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 strike chopper, reportedly requiring it to make an emergency situation landing. Was actually these privileged smash hits-- or even indicators of an advance in airborne war?
