.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, crashed and also burning, began circulating on social networks. That in itself was actually not uncommon: Ukrainian pressures have rejected scores of helicopters given that the Russian attack started. So much more unusual was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had actually been actually downed through a tiny drone. A video recording discharged by the nation's armies a few days later seemed to lend support to that insurance claim: the video footage (view below) shows a drone attacking another Russian aircraft, this time around an Mi-28 assault helicopter, supposedly requiring it to make an emergency situation landing. Were these blessed smash hits-- or even signs of a breakthrough in flying combat?
