THIS is the shocking moment that Mad Vlad’s own forces accidentally blow one of their own helicopters out of the sky.
Gobsmacking footage shows the chopper erupting into an enormous fireball, before crashing down to earth.
The fiery explosion lights up the sky as witnesses look on in terror.
One onlooker can be heard shouting: “Did that helicopter explode?”
Once witnesses realise what has happened, they yell: “Get the **** out of there.”
They disagree, one shouting: “It’s coming this way.”
Another quickly rebuffs: “It’s not coming this way.”
A desperate warning is heard: “It’s falling, get down!”
The Russian military helicopter was reportedly blown out of the sky by Vladimir Putin‘s own forces in a friendly fire incident.
Russia’s own air defences took out the chopper, Telegram channel Helicopterpilot reported.
Early reports say the crew were killed after the Mi-8 helicopter exploded and crashed to earth in southern Russia.
The helicopter was from Millerovo military airfield.
Putin’s embarrassing incident came as Ukrainian drone strikes blasted Russia, landing far behind the frontlines.
In a separate attack, a Russian drone struck a passenger train in Ukrainian city Mykolaiv.
The train was engulfed by fire in the latest hit on civilians by Putin’s forces – at least one man was reported wounded int the attack.
The train was hit with an Iranian-designed Shahed drone – the same type used by Tehran to bombard US bases in the Middle East as it hits back after operation Epic Fury.
It comes as Russia ramped up preparations for WW3 with a nationwide test of its warning sirens.
Meanwhile, as Russian state TV threatened to destroy the entire British army within two months.
State TV host Vladimir Solovyov, a well-known Putin puppet, claimed Britain was not strong enough to stand up to Russia.
He questioned the size of the British army, warning that “it will be completely destroyed” in just “two months of work”.
