The fight in between drones and helicopters in Ukraine

.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, crashed and burning, began flowing on social media sites. That by itself was certainly not unique: Ukrainian pressures have actually obliterated ratings of helicopters due to the fact that the Russian attack started. Far more unusual was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had been actually downed through a little drone. A video recording launched by the country's armed forces a few times eventually seemed to lend credence to that case: the footage (view below) presents a drone attacking another Russian aircraft, this time around an Mi-28 assault helicopter, apparently requiring it to make an unexpected emergency touchdown. Were these privileged hits-- or even indications of a discovery in aerial war?
