.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, crashed as well as burning, started flowing on social networking sites. That in itself was actually not uncommon: Ukrainian powers have actually obliterated ratings of helicopters because the Russian attack began. So much more astonishing was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been actually downed through a little drone.
A video launched due to the country’s armies a couple of days later on appeared to lend credence to that claim: the footage (view below) reveals a drone reaching one more Russian plane, this time around an Mi-28 attack chopper, reportedly obliging it to make an emergency touchdown. Were these privileged favorites– or indications of an advance in airborne war?
