.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, crashed and burning, began circulating on social media sites. That by itself was not unusual: Ukrainian pressures have actually rejected ratings of choppers since the Russian infiltration began. Much more surprising was the case in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been downed by a little drone.
An online video released by the nation’s armed forces a few times eventually seemed to be to give support to that claim: the footage (find below) presents a drone attacking yet another Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 attack helicopter, supposedly requiring it to make an emergency touchdown. Was actually these blessed hits– or even indications of a development in aerial combat?
