.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, plunged and also burning, began spreading on social media sites. That in itself was actually certainly not unusual: Ukrainian powers have actually obliterated credit ratings of choppers because the Russian infiltration started. Far more unexpected was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been downed through a little drone. A video clip launched due to the nation's militaries a few times later seemed to be to lend credence to that claim: the video (see below) shows a drone reaching one more Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 assault chopper, supposedly pushing it to create an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these lucky hits-- or even indications of an innovation in airborne warfare?
