Footage shows the deadly Kamikaze drone entering the hanger and hovering around what appears to be the rare Russian BMPT "Terminator" tank before shredding it up into pieces.

It is supposed to be one of Russia's most advanced weapons systems as Putin attempts to portray his armed forces as some of the strongest in the world.

The 53-ton, 23ft long, 1,000 horsepower behemoths are designed for fighting in cities as support tanks alongside the main armoured columns.

Bristling with supersonic anti-tank missiles which can hit targets nearly four miles away, two 30mm autocannons and grenade launchers - the Terminators appear to be fearsome weapons.

Another drone then attacks two T72 tanks before blitzing a sophisticated BMP-3 tank.

Massive fire can be seen ripping through the hangar as the kamikaze drones continue to destroy Russian weapons.

Ukrainian troops also claim to have blasted two C60 anti-aircraft guns, and military mobilisation trucks including Gazelle and Ural.

These sophisticated bits of military kit weigh 50lb and can fly 25 miles and "loiter" above a target for 40 minutes before striking them at 115mph.

The deadly suicide drones - which are operated by a tablet device and can be pre-programmed - have special armour-piercing warheads that can shred a tank to pieces.

Kamikaze drones weigh a light 5.5 pounds each, can fly about six miles and hover over a target for up to 15 minutes before spiralling down at a speed of 100mph.

Russian war losses

It comes after Putin lost top commander Colonel Magomedali Magomedzhanov in a tragic loss for Russia.

He was wounded in a series of strikes on February 14 which hit a command post.

Magomedzhanov died later in hospital.

He was commander of the 61st Separate Kirkenes Red Banner Marine Brigade of the Northern Fleet, and deputy commander of Russia’s 18th army.

Sergei Melikov, head of the Dagestan region, where the commander was from, said: “He died while performing his military duty in the Special Military Operation zone.

Russia has been suffering immense blows in the war as Ukraine stands strong against Putin's force.

On Valentine's Day, Ukraine unleashed hellish strikes on Putin's prized Black Sea Fleet as a "gift" to the Russian tyrant.

Dramatic footage showed a squad of Ukrainian special officers blasting one of the dictator's warships - killing all on board and sinking the vessel.

The 369ft Caesar Kunikov was blitzed by drones - the 15th Russian warship to either be sunk or destroyed by Ukraine since war broke out.

Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence agency released footage of the daring strike - spearheaded by Group 13 special forces.

A clip from another sea drone then appears to show the mighty ship turned on its side in the Black Sea.

Ukraine's military said it attacked the ship with naval drones called “Magura V5” - leaving it full of holes.

The huge vessel - one of Russia's newest - was used by Putin’s armed forces to transport missiles and drones for attacks on Ukraine.
