.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, collapsed and burning, began circulating on social media sites. That by itself was certainly not unusual: Ukrainian powers have actually shot down credit ratings of helicopters given that the Russian invasion began. Much more astonishing was actually the claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had been downed through a little drone.
A video clip released due to the nation’s armies a few days later seemed to be to give credence to that case: the video footage (view listed below) reveals a drone reaching another Russian plane, this time around an Mi-28 strike chopper, reportedly obliging it to create an urgent touchdown. Was actually these lucky favorites– or indications of an advance in aerial war?
