.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, crashed and burning, began distributing on social networking sites. That in itself was actually certainly not unusual: Ukrainian powers have obliterated ratings of helicopters because the Russian attack started. Much more shocking was actually the case in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had actually been actually downed through a little drone. A video clip discharged by the country's armies a few times eventually seemed to provide credence to that insurance claim: the video footage (view listed below) presents a drone reaching yet another Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 strike chopper, reportedly forcing it to make an unexpected emergency landing. Were these lucky smash hits-- or indications of an advance in airborne combat?
