.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, plunged and burning, began flowing on social networks. That by itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian forces have actually shot down credit ratings of helicopters since the Russian invasion began. Much more shocking was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had been downed by a little drone. A video recording launched due to the nation's armed forces a few days later appeared to offer support to that case: the video (see listed below) reveals a drone attacking an additional Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 assault helicopter, reportedly pushing it to make an emergency situation landing. Was actually these lucky favorites-- or even signs of an advance in flying warfare?
