The struggle between drones and choppers in Ukraine

.ON JULY 31ST pictures of a Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter, crashed and burning, started distributing on social media sites. That in itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian powers have actually obliterated ratings of choppers considering that the Russian intrusion started. Much more astonishing was the case in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had actually been downed by a little drone. An online video discharged due to the country's armies a few times later on appeared to give support to that case: the video (see below) shows a drone attacking another Russian plane, this time around an Mi-28 attack helicopter, supposedly requiring it to make an emergency touchdown. Were these fortunate favorites-- or even indicators of an advancement in airborne war?
