.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, collapsed as well as burning, began spreading on social networks. That by itself was actually certainly not unusual: Ukrainian forces have rejected ratings of choppers since the Russian attack began. A lot more astonishing was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been downed by a little drone.
An online video discharged due to the country’s armies a couple of days eventually seemed to be to offer support to that insurance claim: the video footage (observe below) reveals a drone hitting one more Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 assault helicopter, supposedly requiring it to create an unexpected emergency landing. Were these privileged favorites– or indications of an advance in aerial combat?
