.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, crashed and also burning, began distributing on social media sites. That in itself was actually certainly not uncommon: Ukrainian pressures have actually shot down ratings of helicopters considering that the Russian intrusion began. So much more surprising was actually the case in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been actually downed through a tiny drone.
A video discharged due to the nation’s armed forces a few days later on seemed to be to give credence to that insurance claim: the video footage (see below) presents a drone striking another Russian aircraft, this time around an Mi-28 attack helicopter, supposedly forcing it to create an urgent landing. Was actually these fortunate smash hits– or even signs of an innovation in flying war?
