The war between drones and choppers in Ukraine

.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, crashed and burning, started flowing on social networks. That in itself was not unique: Ukrainian powers have rejected scores of helicopters considering that the Russian infiltration began. A lot more shocking was the claim in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had actually been downed by a tiny drone.

A video recording released by the nation’s militaries a few days eventually seemed to offer support to that case: the video (view below) reveals a drone striking one more Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 assault chopper, apparently compeling it to make an emergency situation landing. Were these lucky favorites– or even signs of a breakthrough in aerial war?
