Putin kamikaze drone DESTROYS £3.3m classic car collection of puppet ally ex-Ukraine president Yanukovych in war blunder

MAD Vlad made a huge war blunder as one of his drones wiped out a £3.3million classic car collection owned by his corrupt ally. The Moscow-aligned dodgy ex-Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych had his beloved vehicles destroyed by his mate. Yanukovych - who was toppled in 2014 - was given political asylum by the Kremlin dictator.

The Putin puppet, 74, stored his luxury car collection at a museum, which burst into flames after debris from a Kremlin drone destroyed the building. This drone - believed to be an Iranian Shahed - was shot as it flew over the ex-president’s lavish estate Mezhyhirya in Kyiv region, valued at up to £800 million.

Nine cars were totally decimated by the debris while 27 were damaged. Yanukovych's extreme wealth was exposed as a symbol of the corruption he inflicted on Ukraine while in power. After the leader was overthrown in the 2014 revolution, protesters stormed into his two-storey garage.

They discovered the multi-million pound collection of retro cars, mostly from the Soviet era. His collection included a rare Russian-made ZiL 410441 cabriolet, used for parades, and two ZiL 41047s - the cars of top Soviet officials. The museum also homed his Soviet-era GAZ 21 sedans and a rare convertible version of the GAZ 13 Chaika.

Yanukovych's stock also included smaller personal vehicles like Soviet-era GAZ 21 sedans and a rare convertible version of the GAZ 13 Chaika. Although the dodgy Ukrainian fled to Russia, he had a few special American cars in his stash. These included a Studebaker US6, a Willys MB, a Dodge WC51, and a Dodge WC63.
