.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, collapsed as well as burning, started circulating on social media sites. That by itself was not unusual: Ukrainian forces have rejected scores of choppers considering that the Russian invasion started. So much more surprising was actually the claim in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had been actually downed through a little drone. A video recording discharged due to the nation's militaries a few times later seemed to be to give credence to that case: the footage (see listed below) reveals a drone attacking one more Russian airplane, this time an Mi-28 assault helicopter, apparently obliging it to make an urgent touchdown. Was actually these fortunate smash hits-- or signs of an innovation in aerial warfare?
