.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, plunged and burning, started spreading on social media. That by itself was actually not unusual: Ukrainian powers have rejected scores of choppers considering that the Russian infiltration began. Much more unusual was the case in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been actually downed through a small drone.
A video clip discharged by the country’s armies a handful of times eventually appeared to give credence to that case: the video (observe below) presents a drone attacking one more Russian airplane, this time an Mi-28 attack helicopter, reportedly compeling it to create an emergency situation landing. Was actually these fortunate smash hits– or even indications of an advance in aerial warfare?
