.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, collapsed and also burning, began circulating on social media sites. That by itself was not unique: Ukrainian forces have shot down ratings of helicopters since the Russian invasion started. Far more unusual was the case in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had actually been actually downed by a small drone. A video recording discharged by the nation's militaries a couple of times later appeared to offer support to that claim: the footage (view below) reveals a drone hitting yet another Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 strike helicopter, supposedly requiring it to create an urgent landing. Were these fortunate hits-- or indicators of a breakthrough in airborne war?
