FPV drone footage released by Ukrainian drone pilots shows a Russian Mi-8 having a near miss with an explosive-laden FPV drone. While current drones that are being fielded by both sides don't currently possess the speed required to make consistent hits on fast moving rotary wing aircraft, I suspect that could change pretty much any day.

The thing is, the drone pilots can miss as often as frequently as they want. The helicopter pilots can only mess up one time.
