.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, plunged and burning, began distributing on social networking sites. That in itself was actually certainly not unusual: Ukrainian powers have obliterated credit ratings of choppers given that the Russian invasion began. So much more shocking was the case in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been actually downed by a little drone. A video released due to the country's armies a couple of times eventually seemed to give support to that claim: the video (observe listed below) reveals a drone reaching another Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 strike chopper, apparently compeling it to make an urgent landing. Was actually these lucky hits-- or signs of a development in airborne war?
