THIS is the dramatic moment Ukrainian troops launch a pinpoint drone strike on jet ski-riding Russians.
Incredible footage shows a pair of Vladimir Putin’s men being hunted down and ruthlessly eliminated by FPV attack drones on the Dnipro River.
Video shows the Russians speeding across the water as a 10-inch Shuriken 10 FPV drone chases after them.
It then smashes into the back of the jet ski and explodes upon impact.
A flash of light erupts on the river as the men are blasted into the water as the jet ski comes to a sudden halt before it sinks.
One of the Russians was reportedly killed instantly in the strike as the other scrambled to swim away.
A second drone was swiftly deployed as it finished off Putin’s doomed man through remote detonation.
Sparks could be seen flying in the air like fireworks following the second drone attack.
Ukrainian troops have become masters in drone warfare since Putin first invaded in February 2022.
Since early 2023, the cheap, explosive, flying machines have become one of Kyiv’s biggest success stories on the battlefield.
Earlier this week a major drone storm wiped out a whopping 80 per cent of Putin’s armour.
Incredible footage shows a series of flawless attacks on multiple tankers as the drones stopped the vast Russian blitz in Pischany district, Lviv Oblast region.
Ukraine’s “Achilles” troops are specialised drone warfare units within the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, playing a pivotal role in Ukraine’s ongoing defence against Russian forces.
These troops have gained recognition for their expertise in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in combat, particularly in repelling Russian assaults and destroying enemy equipment.
The battalion operates highly effective UAVs, such as the “Vampire” drones, which have been instrumental in targeting Russian positions and equipment, particularly in nighttime operations.
It comes after Ukrainian troops took on Putin’s soldiers in a frontline town in true Call of Duty style.
Incredible footage showed the relentless battle on the streets of Toretsk, in the war-torn Donetsk region.
The two-minute video shared on X shows Ukrainian units of the Lyut Assault Brigade at work as they wipe out enemy troops.
Just like in video games, a red frame would flash at every moment one of Mad Vlad’s men – who would have a Russian flag indicating their position – was hit.
A pair of dark wings would then be added to the flag once the enemy was wiped out.
The action-packed clip begins with Kyiv’s brave men heading to the battleground in a truck before they unload the vehicle and head off to fight.
A series of POV scenes unfolds showing the flawless battle tactics on the ravaged streets of Toretsk as blasts can be seen and heard in the background.
Located close to the frontlines of the war in eastern Ukraine, Toretsk has been heavily affected by the war.
The town has experienced frequent shelling, damage to infrastructure, and significant civilian casualties due to its proximity to the conflict.
The dramatic clash came after apocalyptic explosions tore apart two massive Russian missile and ammunition storage depots in the early hours of Saturday.
How Russia is using war wolves to combat drones
By Nick Parker, Foreign Editor
RUSSIA has deployed war wolves on the Ukraine front line — because the beasts react early to kamikaze drone sounds.
Troops say the howling animals have a good sense of smell, are sociable and active, and can warn of danger in advance.
Two tamed wolves have been sent to serve with Vladimir Putin’s soldiers and more will follow if the experiment is a success.
A Russian news agency reported: “The predators can hear the approach of drones and warn of danger in advance.
“They will help Russian soldiers carry out combat missions in the [war] zone.”
The two females were rescued from Siberian region Khakassia and raised by wolf-tamer Aleksandr Konchakov.
In a video, he can be seen feeding ice cream to one of the wolves, called Vysota.
He said: “The puppies were simply brought to me by hunters without a mother.
“They have excellent intuition and are smart.”
Moscow State Circus chief Edgard Zapashny said: “I hope these two female wolves, who will now be with our fighters, will not be harmed, and that the men will surround them with care and ensure their safety.
“In turn, they will save the lives of our soldiers.”
