.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, crashed as well as burning, started flowing on social media. That in itself was actually certainly not uncommon: Ukrainian powers have actually rejected scores of choppers since the Russian intrusion started. So much more unexpected was actually the case in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had actually been actually downed through a tiny drone. An online video released by the country's armies a couple of days later appeared to provide credence to that insurance claim: the footage (observe below) shows a drone attacking one more Russian airplane, this time around an Mi-28 strike helicopter, apparently pushing it to make an emergency situation landing. Was actually these fortunate smash hits-- or even indications of a breakthrough in flying warfare?
