.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, collapsed and also burning, started flowing on social media sites. That by itself was certainly not unique: Ukrainian pressures have actually rejected scores of choppers since the Russian infiltration started. Far more astonishing was the case in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been downed by a tiny drone. A video discharged by the country's militaries a couple of days eventually seemed to be to lend support to that claim: the video footage (view listed below) reveals a drone reaching another Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 assault helicopter, supposedly pushing it to make an emergency touchdown. Was actually these lucky favorites-- or signs of an advance in flying combat?
