Watch moment £16m Russian stash of 400 kamikaze drones are blown to smithereens in crippling blow to Putin’s air power --[Reported by Umva mag]

DRAMATIC new footage shows the moment a stash of Russian kamikaze drones were blown to smithereens, crippling Putin’s troops. More than 400 Shahed Iranian-style kamikaze drones worth £16 million were destroyed in a devastating Ukrainian air strike at a Russian warehouse in the Krasnodar region.

The huge inferno at an ammunition depot in Oktyabrsky, near Yeysk, saw explosions lasting for hours following the pinpoint hit by Ukrainian troops.

The blazing inferno was visible from many miles away as the explosion engulfed the 17,200 square ft warehouse.

An eyewitness said: “Something is exploding near Oktyabrsk, and it’s very scary.”

Kyiv’s armed forces general staff and SBU intelligence service claimed victory following the destruction of the Shahed drones.

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.”
