.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, collapsed as well as burning, began flowing on social media sites. That by itself was not unusual: Ukrainian powers have obliterated scores of choppers because the Russian intrusion started. Far more unusual was actually the case in the Ukrainian push that this chopper had actually been downed by a little drone. A video recording released by the country's armies a few days later on seemed to be to lend support to that insurance claim: the video footage (view below) presents a drone hitting one more Russian airplane, this moment an Mi-28 attack chopper, reportedly pushing it to make an emergency touchdown. Were these blessed hits-- or indicators of an advance in aerial warfare?
