.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, plunged and burning, began flowing on social networks. That by itself was certainly not unusual: Ukrainian powers have actually shot down ratings of choppers because the Russian invasion began. Far more unusual was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had been downed through a little drone. A video recording discharged due to the nation's armies a handful of times later seemed to offer support to that insurance claim: the video footage (find listed below) shows a drone hitting yet another Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 strike helicopter, supposedly forcing it to make an urgent touchdown. Were these privileged smash hits-- or even indicators of a development in airborne warfare?
