.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, plunged and also burning, started spreading on social media sites. That in itself was actually not unusual: Ukrainian powers have actually shot down scores of helicopters because the Russian invasion started. Far more unexpected was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been downed through a tiny drone. An online video released by the nation's militaries a handful of times later on appeared to lend credence to that claim: the footage (find below) shows a drone striking an additional Russian aircraft, this time around an Mi-28 assault chopper, reportedly pushing it to make an urgent touchdown. Was actually these lucky hits-- or signs of an innovation in aerial war?
