THIS is the unbelievable moment a Ukrainian aircraft-style drone smashes into Putin’s puppet Kadyrov’s special operations base.
The site, in the Russian city of Grozny, Chechnya – erupted into a gargantuan fireball in yet another devastating blow to mad Vlad.

Several drones reportedly struck the special forces facilities, as well as a base where troops are sent directly from to fight in the illegal war against Ukraine.
Ukraine’s targeted attack appeared to hit the base of a special operations unit, renowned to be a key base for the Russian dictator’s warlord Kadyrov who has sent tens of thousands of troops to the war.
Shooting was heard in attempts to down the pilotless plane loaded with explosives, but there appeared a lack of air defences against the slow-moving incoming drones.
It is the third strike on the city in 11 days.
The extent of damage and any toll was not immediately known.
Ukraine’s military have been consistently adapting and improving their aircraft and weaponry since Vlad launched his barbaric full-scale invasion in 2022.
The use of the WW2-style planes to hunt down Russian drones on the battlefield continue to serve a blow to Putin’s increasingly desperate war effort.
Air Marshal Bagwell, who served for 36 years in the RAF, said the fact that Ukraine is using a relatively slow propeller-driven plane to take out Putin’s 21st century drone is “embarrassing” for Vlad.
The former combat pilot, who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, told The Sun: “There should be some serious questions here for Russia.
“To have your highly sophisticated 21st century drone shot down by a 1970s prop aeroplane designed for training by somebody with a machine gun out the back – that’s embarrassing.
“This will be sending ripples of concern back into Russia.”
It came soon after Vladimir Putin, 72, had awarded Kadyrov, 48, a ‘For Services to the Fatherland’ honour in an unannounced but secretly-filmed Kremlin ceremony when other top officials loyal to the dictator also received gongs.
Kadyrov – who holds the rank of colonel-general in the Russian national guard – had demanded better air defence protection for his capital.
Kadyrov has been widely sanctioned by the West for human rights abuses as well as his support to Putin over the war.
He previously threatened to place Ukrainian prisoners of war on rooftops of strategic buildings to discourage attacks by Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces.
A new investigation by Proekt independent media found that Kadyrov has tripled the size of what amounts to his own private army.
No less than nine new paramilitary units have been established since the start of the war.
No other regional leader in Russia is allowed to maintain their own private army.
