It comes just days after Ukraine launched a string of bold attacks on the tyrant's prized £3billion bridge to Crimea.
New dramatic footage shows a Bayraktar-TB2 kamikaze drone destroying a Russian KS-701 Tuna vessel in the northwestern Black Sea.
The vessel can be seen erupting into a huge fireball.
It's understood a number of people were killed and injured in the strike.

A military helicopter was spotted heading towards an army hospital in Sevastopol following the strike.
Meanwhile, a huge inferno stroke out at a warehouse in the Moscow region after it was blasted by kamikaze drones.
Flames spread to 13,000 square metres as more than 20 flights were delayed and eight more cancelled at major Moscow international airports.
Unconfirmed Russian reports said the warehouse contained “paints and varnishes”.

And another Ukrainian drone hit the roof of the FSB security service building in the nuclear town Kurchatov in the Kursk region, Russian news outlet Baza reported.
The extent of any damage was not clear.
Regional governor Roman Starovoyt said: “An attack by a Ukrainian drone caused fire to a non-residential building in the city of Kurchatov.
“The fire was extinguished. No-one was hurt,"
But Putin’s fighters claimed to have also inflicted heavy casualties on Ukraine.
Naval aircraft allegedly destroyed four US-supplied Willard Sea Force speedboats as they attempted to land near Cape Tarkhankut on the coast of Russian-annexed Crimea.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has tried to stage several landings on the occupied territory but disputes the Russian claim over the four boats.
Russian Telegram channel WarGonzo said: "This time the enemy failed to reach the coast of Crimea in order to film a video of the landing and shoot at the camp of tourist."

Russia also claimed to have “wiped out” more than 125 Ukrainian marines in the south Donetsk area.
“Over 125 Ukrainian servicemen, a combat armoured vehicle and two automobiles were destroyed,” said the Moscow ministry of defence.
