.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, plunged and also burning, began flowing on social networking sites. That by itself was certainly not unusual: Ukrainian forces have actually obliterated scores of choppers considering that the Russian intrusion began. So much more surprising was actually the case in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had been downed through a little drone. A video recording released due to the nation's armies a handful of days eventually seemed to be to offer support to that insurance claim: the video (see listed below) shows a drone hitting yet another Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 assault helicopter, supposedly obliging it to create an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these blessed hits-- or even signs of a discovery in flying war?
