Another Russian Helicopter ( Mi-8MTV-series or Mi-8AMTSh. ) was hit by a Ukrainian AA HE-FRAG FPV . Unclear if this was shot down or merely damaged- but the original post claimed that it “stopped working in the area”.

Doesn’t look like a hit. Might be difficult for drones to come close enough to make a damage on flying copter because of turbulence around it.
It’s possible it caused damage if it was remote detonated, but the last frame looks like the drone was blown away by the rotor wash
It self-tracks and auto-detonates. It detonated, just a matter of how much of the fair rotor was hit. Doesn’t take much.
Tail rotors are fragile and if it was indeed a frag munition as stated it should have at least crippled it.
We have seen videos in the past, that the drones couldn’t able to race with the helis, how’s that or the speed of drones were increased?
Next time the operator should try striking the turboshaft directly, getting under the rotors
this is a clear miss
