.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, collapsed and also burning, began flowing on social networks. That in itself was certainly not uncommon: Ukrainian pressures have actually shot down ratings of choppers due to the fact that the Russian attack began. Much more surprising was the claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had been downed through a little drone. An online video discharged by the nation's militaries a few times later seemed to provide credence to that case: the video footage (see below) reveals a drone attacking yet another Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 strike helicopter, apparently forcing it to create an emergency situation touchdown. Was actually these blessed hits-- or even indications of a breakthrough in flying warfare?
