Horror moment Iranian-made Putin drone ploughs into apartment block in RUSSIA – before Vlad tried to blame Ukraine

THIS is the horrifying moment an Iranian-made Putin drone ploughs into a Russian apartment block - but mad Vlad somehow places the blame on Ukraine.

Unbelievable footage shows the spaceship-like weapon hit the apartments at lightning speed before they erupt into flames in the friendly fire attack.

Initially in the footage the drone can almost be missed due to the sheer speed it's travelling at into the residential building.

But then a slowed down version shows the Iranian-made weapon plough straight into the apartment block in border region Belgorod.

As it makes contact, an explosion erupts from the building, causing a blinding orange light.

Debris then falls into what looks to be a park in front as grey smoke billows from the building.

The fierce strike on 5 November damaged ten flats, seven cars and injured two people.

Regional government reported that one man, who was lowered from the fifth floor by a fire appliance ladder, was diagnosed with "poisoning products of combustion" from the horror ordeal.

News outlets in Russia rushed to claim the devastating explosion was caused by an early use of a Spanish-made Columba drone by the Ukrainian armed forces.

But the Russian propaganda machine was soon caught out for blaming Ukraine for the strike when it was actually a wayward Russian-fired drone.

The Iranian-made Shahed drone - widely used by dictator Putin’s forces  - is caught on camera on footage obtained by news outlet Pepel.

After studying the video of the attack, the outlet confirmed the building was attacked by "a Russian Shahid".

It claims the surveillance footage on the opposite building "clearly shows a UAV", with a silhouette similar to the "Iranian Shahed-136 strike" which Putin's army launch over Ukrainian territory.

The outlet added: "Only this attack drone has a characteristic nose and triangular wings with blunt ends, which are clearly visible in the surveillance camera video."

The attack was also on the Russian-facing side of the apartment block - not the Ukrainian side.

Pepel added: "Most likely, Shahid's target selection system did not work correctly, or the flight mission was set incorrectly."

Russia's record losses

In its deadliest day since the start of the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin was hit with a record 1,770 Russian casualties reported by Kyiv on Monday.

This figure surpasses the previous high of 1,740 on May 13 and marks a devastating escalation in the brutal war.

Ukraine’s General Staff released the grim statistics, estimating Russia’s total casualties since the start of the full-scale invasion at over 710,000.

These numbers include those killed, wounded, missing, and captured.

Western analysts corroborate these figures, highlighting the catastrophic cost of Russia’s disastrous military campaign.

October was already one of the bloodiest months for Russian forces.

UK Defence Staff Chief Admiral Anthony Radakin stated that Russian casualties in October averaged 1,500 daily.

Earlier in the month, UK Defense Minister John Healey reported 41,980 Russian troops were killed or injured in October alone.

And in June, Putin lost more than 1,200 troops in just 24 hours after Western nations - including the US - gave Ukraine the green light to strike Russia with their weapons.

The heavy toll comes as Russia pushes forward with “tactical, territorial gains” in Ukraine.

Despite the staggering losses, Russian forces have managed to advance, reclaiming 1,146 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory since August, according to a Bloomberg analysis.
