.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, crashed and burning, began flowing on social media. That in itself was certainly not uncommon: Ukrainian pressures have actually rejected scores of helicopters due to the fact that the Russian infiltration started. A lot more astonishing was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been downed by a small drone.
A video launched due to the nation’s armies a few days eventually seemed to give credence to that claim: the video (view below) presents a drone striking one more Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 strike chopper, apparently requiring it to make an emergency landing. Was actually these privileged favorites– or even indicators of a discovery in flying combat?
