The war in between drones and helicopters in Ukraine

.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, collapsed as well as burning, started spreading on social networks. That by itself was actually not unique: Ukrainian forces have rejected credit ratings of helicopters considering that the Russian infiltration started. So much more unusual was actually the insurance claim in the Ukrainian push that this helicopter had actually been downed through a small drone. A video recording discharged by the country's armies a few days eventually appeared to offer support to that insurance claim: the video footage (observe below) reveals a drone attacking yet another Russian airplane, this time an Mi-28 attack helicopter, apparently forcing it to make an unexpected emergency touchdown. Was actually these fortunate hits-- or even signs of a development in flying war?
