.ON JULY 31ST images of a Russian Mi-8 transportation helicopter, plunged as well as burning, began circulating on social media sites. That in itself was certainly not unique: Ukrainian forces have actually rejected scores of choppers considering that the Russian intrusion started.

A video clip launched due to the nation's armies a handful of days later on seemed to be to provide credence to that claim: the video footage (observe below) presents a drone hitting another Russian aircraft, this moment an Mi-28 assault chopper, supposedly compeling it to create an emergency situation landing. Were these lucky favorites-- or indicators of an advancement in aerial war?
