.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, crashed and also burning, began flowing on social media sites. That by itself was actually certainly not unusual: Ukrainian powers have actually obliterated ratings of helicopters given that the Russian invasion started. So much more unusual was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had actually been actually downed through a little drone.
A video launched by the country’s militaries a couple of times eventually appeared to offer credence to that claim: the video (see below) presents a drone reaching another Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 attack helicopter, apparently obliging it to make an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these privileged hits– or indicators of a discovery in airborne war?
