.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, crashed and also burning, started spreading on social networks. That by itself was not unusual: Ukrainian pressures have shot down ratings of choppers because the Russian invasion began. A lot more unusual was the claim in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been actually downed through a tiny drone. A video discharged due to the country's armies a handful of days eventually seemed to be to lend credence to that case: the video footage (see listed below) presents a drone hitting one more Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 attack chopper, supposedly compeling it to make an urgent landing. Was actually these lucky smash hits-- or indicators of an advancement in airborne warfare?
