.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, crashed and also burning, began circulating on social networking sites. That in itself was not uncommon: Ukrainian forces have obliterated ratings of choppers considering that the Russian infiltration started. So much more unusual was actually the claim in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had actually been actually downed through a small drone. A video recording discharged due to the country's armies a few days later on appeared to give credence to that claim: the video (view listed below) presents a drone striking one more Russian plane, this time around an Mi-28 assault helicopter, apparently compeling it to create an urgent landing. Was actually these lucky smash hits-- or indicators of an innovation in aerial war?
