.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, plunged and burning, started circulating on social media sites. That in itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian powers have actually rejected credit ratings of helicopters because the Russian infiltration began. So much more unexpected was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been actually downed by a tiny drone. A video clip released by the nation's armed forces a couple of days later seemed to lend credence to that case: the video (observe below) reveals a drone attacking another Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 strike helicopter, apparently forcing it to make an emergency landing. Were these blessed smash hits-- or even indicators of a breakthrough in aerial combat?
