The war between drones and choppers in Ukraine

.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, plunged as well as burning, started flowing on social networks. That in itself was not unusual: Ukrainian powers have obliterated scores of choppers because the Russian attack began. Far more surprising was the case in the Ukrainian press that this helicopter had been actually downed through a tiny drone.

A video recording launched by the nation’s militaries a couple of times later appeared to offer support to that case: the video footage (view listed below) shows a drone attacking another Russian plane, this time an Mi-28 attack chopper, supposedly obliging it to create an emergency situation touchdown. Was actually these blessed smash hits– or even indications of a development in aerial warfare?
