This footage reportedly shows the moment a Russian Molniya PVO drone destroys a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle in mid-air.

The Russian Ministry of Defence said the incident took place in Lyman, in the Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, on Monday, November 3.

In a statement, the ministry said: 'A Molniya PVO unmanned aerial vehicle crew from the 25th Combined Arms Army of the ‘Zapad' group destroyed a heavy unmanned aerial vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Krasnolimansk front.'

According to the ministry, the footage shows the moment the Molniya drone 'carried out a remote detonation of its warhead, resulting in the destruction of the enemy drone.'

It added that the episode 'confirms the high efficiency, mobility and reliability of the complex in combating low-flying targets.'
