.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, collapsed and burning, began distributing on social media. That in itself was not unique: Ukrainian powers have actually shot down ratings of helicopters considering that the Russian attack started. Much more unusual was the claim in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had been actually downed by a tiny drone. A video discharged due to the nation's armed forces a handful of days later seemed to be to provide support to that case: the footage (see below) presents a drone attacking yet another Russian aircraft, this time an Mi-28 assault helicopter, supposedly forcing it to make an unexpected emergency landing. Was actually these privileged smash hits-- or even signs of a discovery in aerial combat?
