.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, crashed and burning, started spreading on social media sites. That in itself was actually certainly not uncommon: Ukrainian forces have shot down scores of helicopters since the Russian infiltration started. So much more astonishing was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had actually been downed by a tiny drone. An online video discharged due to the country's militaries a handful of days eventually appeared to lend support to that case: the footage (see listed below) reveals a drone striking another Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 assault chopper, reportedly compeling it to create an urgent touchdown. Were these blessed hits-- or even indications of a breakthrough in aerial combat?
