.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, plunged and burning, started circulating on social networking sites. That in itself was actually certainly not unusual: Ukrainian powers have actually shot down ratings of choppers considering that the Russian intrusion began. Much more unusual was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had actually been downed by a small drone. A video clip launched due to the country's armies a handful of days eventually seemed to give support to that case: the footage (observe below) presents a drone striking an additional Russian aircraft, this time an Mi-28 attack chopper, apparently requiring it to create an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these lucky hits-- or indications of an innovation in flying combat?
