.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, collapsed and burning, began distributing on social media sites. That by itself was actually not uncommon: Ukrainian forces have shot down ratings of helicopters considering that the Russian invasion started. Far more unusual was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had been actually downed through a tiny drone. A video recording discharged by the nation's armies a handful of times later on seemed to lend support to that claim: the video (find listed below) shows a drone hitting another Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 assault chopper, reportedly requiring it to make an unexpected emergency touchdown. Were these lucky favorites-- or even indications of an advance in flying combat?
