.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, crashed and burning, began distributing on social media sites. That in itself was actually not unusual: Ukrainian powers have rejected credit ratings of choppers since the Russian infiltration began. Far more surprising was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had been actually downed by a tiny drone.
A video recording launched by the country’s armies a couple of days later seemed to be to provide support to that case: the footage (observe listed below) presents a drone reaching yet another Russian airplane, this time around an Mi-28 strike chopper, supposedly forcing it to create an unexpected emergency landing. Were these privileged smash hits– or even indications of an advancement in flying combat?
