.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, crashed as well as burning, started distributing on social networking sites. That by itself was not unusual: Ukrainian pressures have actually rejected ratings of helicopters given that the Russian infiltration started. Far more unusual was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been downed by a small drone. A video recording launched by the nation's armies a couple of days later seemed to be to offer support to that insurance claim: the footage (see below) reveals a drone hitting an additional Russian airplane, this time an Mi-28 attack helicopter, apparently obliging it to create an emergency touchdown. Were these blessed favorites-- or indicators of a development in aerial warfare?
