.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, crashed and also burning, began circulating on social networks. That in itself was actually certainly not unique: Ukrainian forces have actually rejected credit ratings of helicopters because the Russian attack started. Far more astonishing was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had been actually downed by a tiny drone. A video recording discharged by the nation's armed forces a few days later on seemed to be to lend support to that case: the footage (find below) presents a drone hitting an additional Russian aircraft, this time around an Mi-28 assault helicopter, apparently pushing it to create an emergency landing. Were these lucky favorites-- or even signs of a breakthrough in aerial warfare?
