.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, crashed as well as burning, started distributing on social media sites. That in itself was not uncommon: Ukrainian powers have actually shot down credit ratings of helicopters because the Russian infiltration began. Much more unusual was actually the case in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had actually been downed by a small drone. A video clip released due to the nation's armed forces a handful of times eventually appeared to offer credence to that insurance claim: the footage (find listed below) shows a drone reaching yet another Russian aircraft, this time an Mi-28 strike chopper, supposedly pushing it to create an emergency landing. Were these lucky favorites-- or even indicators of a development in flying combat?
