.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, plunged as well as burning, started spreading on social media. That in itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian powers have actually rejected scores of choppers since the Russian infiltration started.

A video launched due to the nation's armies a couple of times eventually seemed to be to lend support to that insurance claim: the video (observe listed below) shows a drone reaching yet another Russian plane, this moment an Mi-28 attack chopper, reportedly requiring it to create an emergency situation landing. Were these privileged smash hits-- or even indicators of a breakthrough in flying warfare?
