.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, plunged and also burning, started circulating on social networks. That by itself was certainly not uncommon: Ukrainian pressures have shot down credit ratings of helicopters due to the fact that the Russian infiltration began.

A video recording released due to the nation's militaries a handful of days later on seemed to offer credence to that claim: the video (find listed below) reveals a drone striking yet another Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 attack chopper, supposedly compeling it to make an emergency landing. Were these fortunate smash hits-- or even indications of an advancement in flying war?
