The fight in between drones and choppers in Ukraine

.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, crashed and burning, started distributing on social media. That by itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian powers have shot down ratings of helicopters considering that the Russian infiltration started. Far more unexpected was the claim in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had been actually downed by a little drone. A video clip released due to the nation's armies a couple of times eventually seemed to give support to that claim: the video (observe below) presents a drone striking another Russian airplane, this time an Mi-28 attack chopper, reportedly requiring it to create an urgent landing. Were these fortunate smash hits-- or signs of an advance in aerial combat?
