SHOCKING footage has shown the moment one of Vladimir Putin’s soldiers seemed to tempt death as he dodged eight drone strikes.

This shocking video, caught by drone cameras, showed the fighter crossing through a desolate field alone while under attack.
The soldier, from the 15th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Alexandria Brigade, was targeted twice by drones on the field.
He continued onto an empty road where footage showed four more FPV drones narrowly missing him.
The soldier reportedly dodged two more drone attacks, not shown on video.
This Terminator-esc fighter reportedly walked away with little more than minor injuries.
Despite this Ukrainian drone attack failure, the army conducted a successful operation on a Russian explosives plant overnight on October 20.
A series of loud eruptions were reported at the Sverdlov Plant in Dzerzhins, in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia.
Shocking images showed clouds of smoke and bright flashes coming from the site as it was pummeled by kamikaze drones.
This plant was one of Russia’s biggest producers of industrial explosives and other military equipment, like artillery shells and warheads for air defence systems.
Latest on the Ukraine war
Despite this blow, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has shared hope that his country will soon defeat Putin and end Russia’s war.
Two and a half years after his country was invaded, Zelensky stood infront of Ukraine’s parliament and revealed his “victory plan,” The Sun has previously reported.
The Ukrainian leader detailed his five-step proposal to strengthen Ukraine’s ties with the West and deter future attacks from its neighbour.
Specific ideas included securing an invite to join NATO, and getting permission from allies to use long-range weapons, that have been provided, deep inside Russia.
Other steps include a joint effort from the US and EU to protect Ukraine’s natural resources and hosting non-nuclear weapons on its soil to deter Russia.
Finally, Zelensky said he wanted to provide Ukrainian soldiers in Europe as part of the bloc’s defence against Russia, after the war ends.
The Kremlin dismissed Zelensky’s plans as a spokesman said Kyiv had to “sober up.”
The Russian parliament has also come out to deny claims that Putin’s health has deteriorated.
This unprecedented move came after the Russian president, 72, admitted on TV that he had received regular medical examinations at one of Moscow’s top hospitals.
“Doctors at the Central Clinical Hospital, where I undergo all sorts of regular examinations, also recommend getting vaccinated with domestically produced drugs,” Putin said in the televised meeting.
Putin’s men last month suffered their biggest death toll since the invasion started.
The Russian army faced an average of 1,270 dead troops each day in September, according to the UK Ministry of Defence.
