.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, collapsed as well as burning, began distributing on social media sites. That in itself was actually not uncommon: Ukrainian pressures have actually obliterated credit ratings of helicopters given that the Russian invasion started. So much more unusual was actually the claim in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been downed through a little drone. A video clip launched due to the country's militaries a few days eventually appeared to provide credence to that claim: the video (observe listed below) reveals a drone reaching yet another Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 strike chopper, reportedly requiring it to make an unexpected emergency touchdown. Were these lucky favorites-- or signs of an advance in flying warfare?
