.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, crashed and also burning, began spreading on social media sites. That in itself was actually not unusual: Ukrainian pressures have rejected ratings of helicopters considering that the Russian invasion started. A lot more unexpected was actually the claim in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had actually been downed through a tiny drone. A video released due to the nation's militaries a handful of days later appeared to offer credence to that case: the video (observe listed below) presents a drone hitting an additional Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 strike helicopter, apparently pushing it to make an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these lucky favorites-- or indications of a development in aerial warfare?
