.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, plunged as well as burning, started distributing on social media sites. That by itself was actually not uncommon: Ukrainian powers have obliterated credit ratings of choppers since the Russian invasion began. Far more astonishing was the claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been actually downed through a small drone. A video clip launched due to the country's militaries a few days later seemed to be to lend credence to that insurance claim: the footage (observe listed below) reveals a drone attacking one more Russian airplane, this time an Mi-28 assault helicopter, supposedly requiring it to make an urgent touchdown. Were these lucky hits-- or even signs of a discovery in flying war?
