.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, collapsed and also burning, started circulating on social media sites. That by itself was actually certainly not unusual: Ukrainian pressures have shot down ratings of helicopters due to the fact that the Russian attack began. Much more unexpected was actually the claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had actually been downed through a small drone. A video launched by the nation's militaries a few times later on seemed to be to provide support to that case: the footage (see below) reveals a drone attacking another Russian aircraft, this time around an Mi-28 strike chopper, supposedly compeling it to create an emergency situation touchdown. Was actually these privileged favorites-- or even indications of a development in airborne war?
