.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, plunged as well as burning, began spreading on social media. That by itself was certainly not uncommon: Ukrainian forces have actually obliterated ratings of choppers due to the fact that the Russian infiltration began. Far more shocking was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been downed by a little drone. A video recording discharged due to the country's armed forces a handful of days later on seemed to give support to that case: the video footage (observe below) presents a drone reaching one more Russian aircraft, this time an Mi-28 assault chopper, reportedly forcing it to create an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these fortunate hits-- or indications of a discovery in flying war?
