THIS is the dramatic moment a Ukrainian drone shoots down three of Putin's UAVs with a built-in shotgun before turning its sights on a Russian soldier. The extraordinary moment happened in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, in the first time that such a drone is seen being used against an enemy infantryman.

The video captures the newly-developed Ukrainian FPV (first person view) drone downing three Russian drones with a built-in shotgun. The footage shows the FPV barely having to move as it blasts the Russian tech out of the sky with one shot to each. Their battle then turns deadlier as a Russian "invader" is killed by a falling grenade - but only after he is mercilessly brought down by a shot from the sky.

The soldier gets up after he is shot by the drone, but then he is obliterated by the grenade in one quick burst of brutality. Ukrainian military journalist Andriy Tsaplienko said: "The Ukrainian drone shoots down three Russian Mavics with a shotgun, then shoots at the invader with the same shotgun and finishes him off with a grenade.".

It is not known what type of drone it was that carried out the swift destruction, but it does show the haunting efficiency of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Last month, footage emerged of a Ukrainian-made Winchester drone using buckshot to shoot down approaching Russian aerial threats.
