.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, plunged as well as burning, started distributing on social networks. That in itself was certainly not uncommon: Ukrainian powers have actually shot down credit ratings of choppers because the Russian infiltration started. Far more unusual was the case in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been actually downed through a little drone.
A video released by the country’s armed forces a few times later seemed to lend support to that insurance claim: the video (observe listed below) reveals a drone hitting yet another Russian aircraft, this time an Mi-28 strike chopper, apparently pushing it to create an urgent touchdown. Was actually these lucky favorites– or indications of an innovation in aerial war?
