.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, collapsed and burning, began circulating on social media sites. That by itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian forces have obliterated credit ratings of helicopters since the Russian intrusion began. So much more surprising was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had been actually downed by a tiny drone. A video clip discharged due to the nation's armies a few times later seemed to offer credence to that insurance claim: the video (find listed below) presents a drone striking one more Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 attack chopper, apparently obliging it to create an emergency landing. Was actually these privileged favorites-- or even signs of a development in flying combat?
