.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, plunged and also burning, began distributing on social media sites. That by itself was actually not unusual: Ukrainian forces have obliterated ratings of choppers due to the fact that the Russian invasion began. So much more astonishing was actually the case in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had actually been downed by a small drone.
A video recording launched by the country’s armed forces a few days later on seemed to be to give credence to that claim: the video (find below) reveals a drone attacking another Russian aircraft, this time an Mi-28 attack helicopter, supposedly pushing it to make an urgent touchdown. Were these privileged favorites– or signs of a development in airborne warfare?
