.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, plunged and also burning, began circulating on social networking sites. That by itself was actually not unusual: Ukrainian forces have actually rejected ratings of helicopters since the Russian intrusion began. Much more surprising was the case in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been actually downed through a tiny drone. A video recording released due to the nation's armies a handful of times later seemed to be to provide credence to that case: the video footage (view below) reveals a drone reaching one more Russian plane, this time around an Mi-28 attack helicopter, supposedly compeling it to make an urgent landing. Was actually these fortunate smash hits-- or even signs of a discovery in flying combat?
