.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, crashed and also burning, began spreading on social media. That in itself was actually certainly not unique: Ukrainian pressures have shot down scores of choppers since the Russian infiltration began. Far more unusual was actually the claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been actually downed through a small drone.
A video released by the country’s militaries a couple of times later seemed to be to provide support to that claim: the video footage (find listed below) reveals a drone striking another Russian airplane, this time an Mi-28 strike chopper, apparently obliging it to create an unexpected emergency landing. Were these blessed favorites– or indicators of an advancement in flying war?
