Dramatic moment Putin’s cannon fodder troops are stopped in their tracks on suicide mission in hellscape Ukrainian front

THIS is the dramatic moment Russia's cannon fodder troops are targeted on the frontlines after being thrown on a suicide mission.

Incredible footage shows Vladimir Putin's men being quickly stopped in their tracks through Ukrainian gunfire and huge explosions forcing them to run for their lives.

Videos from the city of Toretsk in eastern Ukraine shows the pinpoint strikes raining down on Russian soldiers with many of them hopelessly fleeing across the warzone.

Fighters of the 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov say they were "straightening out and stabilising the frontline" with the attacks.

Russian equipment was also destroyed from artillery, hideouts and tanks.

All of the clips in the video have been taken from just a single day of fighting in the city, according to the Azov Brigade.

Dozens of huge plumes of smoke can be seen in the opening few seconds with bright flashes of orange sparks erupting across what appears to be an area in Toretsk.

Most of the footage is shot from drones hovering high above the battlefields.

As the footage continues massive Ukrainian fireball blasts are launched towards Putin's men and their infrastructure as they try to sneak through the city.

One building can be seen ablaze and smoking as a convoy of Russians in a truck speed away from the scene.

Moments later the military motor is targeted as the soldiers flee on foot.

Thermal cameras show the panicked Russians as they try to escape through more crumbling buildings that have been hit in blasts before.

Continuous Ukrainian strikes are then unleashed on the cowering enemy as Ukraine's drones move in for pinpoint attacks.

Some of the troops who have been thrown into Putin's meat grinder conflict and managed to avoid being hit and are then seen rushing though a open field.

They are rapidly picked off one-by-one by Ukrainian snipers as they fall to the ground.

It comes as Ukraine's military intelligence service said thousands of North Korean troops are getting deployed to the Russian front to help out a "desperate" Vladimir Putin.

On Thursday they said the first of Kim Jong-un's units had been deployed in the Kursk region where intense battles continue.

A red and blue North Korea flag has reportedly also been spotted flying alongside the Russian tricolour in Ukrainian territory.

If confirmed that Putin has drafted in international help it could spark fears of a major escalation in his bloody war.

Ukraine has continued to target major Russian explosives plants in recent weeks as it continues to blast Putin's key infrastructure.

A succession of loud explosions were reported at the Sverdlov Plant in Dzerzhinsk last week with clouds of white smoke rising from the enterprise in Nizhny Novgorod region in the wake of the attacks.

A Russian microelectronics plant also caught fire recently after a jet-powered kamikaze drone strike by Ukraine.

The vast Kremniy El complex in Bryansk region reportedly manufactures microchips for Vladimir Putin’s deadly Iskander ballistic missiles.

One of the biggest electronics bases in Russia with 1,700-plus workers, it also makes key hi-tech parts for multiple other lethal weapons.

Locals said the plant was ablaze following the thunderous nighttime strikes as Ukraine penetrated Russian air defences.
