.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, plunged as well as burning, started spreading on social media. That by itself was actually certainly not unique: Ukrainian powers have shot down scores of choppers due to the fact that the Russian infiltration started. A lot more surprising was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been actually downed through a small drone.
A video clip released due to the nation’s militaries a few times later on seemed to offer support to that case: the video (view below) reveals a drone hitting yet another Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 strike helicopter, supposedly requiring it to make an urgent landing. Was actually these fortunate favorites– or signs of an advancement in aerial combat?
