.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, plunged and also burning, began flowing on social networking sites. That by itself was not unusual: Ukrainian forces have obliterated credit ratings of choppers because the Russian attack began. Far more unexpected was actually the claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been actually downed by a tiny drone. A video clip discharged by the nation's armed forces a few days later on appeared to give support to that claim: the video footage (observe below) reveals a drone hitting another Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 attack helicopter, apparently compeling it to make an emergency landing. Were these fortunate smash hits-- or even indications of an advancement in airborne combat?
