The battle between drones and choppers in Ukraine

.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, collapsed and burning, began spreading on social media sites. That by itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian forces have shot down ratings of helicopters since the Russian attack started. So much more unusual was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had actually been actually downed through a small drone. An online video discharged due to the nation's militaries a few days later on seemed to give credence to that insurance claim: the video (find below) presents a drone striking yet another Russian airplane, this moment an Mi-28 assault chopper, apparently forcing it to create an urgent touchdown. Was actually these privileged smash hits-- or even indications of a development in aerial combat?
