.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, crashed as well as burning, started flowing on social media. That in itself was certainly not unusual: Ukrainian powers have actually rejected ratings of choppers because the Russian invasion started. So much more unexpected was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been actually downed through a little drone. An online video released due to the country's armies a couple of times later appeared to offer credence to that claim: the video footage (see listed below) reveals a drone striking yet another Russian aircraft, this time an Mi-28 strike chopper, reportedly forcing it to make an emergency situation touchdown. Were these lucky favorites-- or even indicators of a breakthrough in airborne warfare?
