.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, crashed as well as burning, began flowing on social media. That in itself was not unusual: Ukrainian forces have actually shot down ratings of helicopters due to the fact that the Russian attack began. So much more shocking was the claim in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had been downed through a little drone.
An online video discharged due to the nation’s armed forces a few times eventually seemed to provide support to that claim: the video (find listed below) shows a drone hitting one more Russian airplane, this time around an Mi-28 assault helicopter, reportedly obliging it to create an emergency situation touchdown. Was actually these privileged hits– or even signs of an advancement in aerial war?
