.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, plunged as well as burning, began flowing on social networking sites. That by itself was not unusual: Ukrainian powers have shot down ratings of choppers considering that the Russian invasion began. Far more unexpected was the case in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been actually downed by a little drone. A video discharged due to the country's militaries a handful of times later appeared to give credence to that claim: the video (view below) reveals a drone reaching yet another Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 assault chopper, reportedly compeling it to make an emergency situation touchdown. Was actually these lucky smash hits-- or indicators of a breakthrough in flying combat?
