.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, crashed as well as burning, began flowing on social networking sites. That in itself was actually certainly not unique: Ukrainian forces have rejected ratings of helicopters because the Russian invasion began. Much more unexpected was the claim in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had actually been actually downed by a tiny drone.
A video discharged by the nation’s armed forces a few times eventually seemed to be to lend support to that case: the video (view below) shows a drone reaching one more Russian airplane, this moment an Mi-28 attack helicopter, apparently requiring it to make an unexpected emergency touchdown. Was actually these lucky smash hits– or indicators of a development in aerial warfare?
