The fight between drones as well as helicopters in Ukraine

.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport chopper, crashed and burning, began spreading on social media. That in itself was not unusual: Ukrainian powers have actually obliterated scores of helicopters considering that the Russian invasion began. Far more unexpected was the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had been downed by a little drone. A video released due to the nation's militaries a handful of times later on seemed to be to give support to that claim: the video footage (find below) shows a drone reaching one more Russian airplane, this time an Mi-28 assault chopper, supposedly pushing it to make an unexpected emergency touchdown. Were these lucky smash hits-- or even indications of an advance in airborne combat?
