.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, crashed and also burning, began distributing on social networking sites. That in itself was actually not uncommon: Ukrainian pressures have obliterated credit ratings of choppers considering that the Russian attack began. Far more astonishing was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been downed by a small drone. A video recording launched due to the country's armies a handful of times later seemed to be to offer support to that claim: the video (view listed below) shows a drone hitting one more Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 attack chopper, supposedly compeling it to create an emergency touchdown. Was actually these blessed favorites-- or indicators of a development in airborne combat?
