.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, plunged as well as burning, started flowing on social networking sites. That in itself was actually certainly not unusual: Ukrainian powers have obliterated scores of helicopters given that the Russian infiltration started. A lot more unusual was actually the case in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been downed through a small drone.
A video clip discharged by the country’s armed forces a handful of times later on seemed to offer support to that claim: the footage (see below) presents a drone attacking yet another Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 attack chopper, apparently forcing it to make an emergency situation touchdown. Were these lucky hits– or signs of a discovery in flying combat?
