Shock video shows disc-shaped UFO floating over Ukraine warzone as ‘huge’ object spotted by drone…

THIS is the shocking moment a circular UFO can be seen floating over a Ukrainian warzone.

Eerie footage shows the mystery object hovering in the sky as puzzled troops use special heat detecting drones to investigate it.

The men in the video are part of Ukraine’s fierce 406th Battalion and can be seen using the drone’s control screen to observe the unidentified disc.

At first, the soldiers fly their drone cautiously closely to the object before zooming in to examine it further.

The drone’s altitude radar manages to show the object was more than 30 miles away but despite this, it still looks massive on the screen.

It hovers, seemingly completely still, even as the drone approaches.

A bewildered soldier in the clip can be heard saying: «What the f*** is this? Why isn’t it moving?»

Another says the flying disc is «a UFO, for sure».

He continues: «It is staying in place, on the screen. Zoom in more.

«It’s standing still, do you see?»

The device used to capture the footage was a special heat vision quadcopter drone that Ukraine has deployed all across the front line since the devastating war began over two years ago.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) are believed to have at least 300 of these drones in their arsenal, as well as thousands of other drones.

It is unclear what the UFO was and it was doing.

The sighting bears striking similarities to images released by the US Air Force showing a skinny circular object flying over North Eastern Iraq in May 2022.

The images, taken from a video filmed by a thermal camera Reaper drone, showed the object moving from left to right.

It was later dubbed the «Baghdad Phantom».

The latest sighting comes exactly a year after Russia ended up in chaos as airports were dramatically closed over reports of a UFO.

Passenger planes from Pulkovo Airport in St Petersburg were grounded after reports of an mysterious object overhead – with the military ordering the closure.

Locals were even ordered to escape to their nuke shelters over fears of a vicious blast.

LATEST ON UKRAINE WAR

Neither side publicises their losses, but Kyiv estimates that Russian casualties have now passed 400,000, while analysts believe the ratios of Russian losses to Ukrainian sit anywhere between 3:1 to 5:1.

Ukraine has been working to increase its domestic weapons production since the start of the war with inventive DIY drones playing a central role in its battlefield attacks.

In his end-of-year address, Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to produce one million drones in 2024. «We will do everything to make it so,» he promised.

Earlier this month, footage captured the moment that a £1million Russian T-72 tank was destroyed in a Ukrainian pinpoint drone strike.

Ukraine has made a habit of using inexpensive homemade drones to humiliate Vlad by destroying multi-million pound tanks on the battlefield or warships in the Black Sea – and capture each hit on camera.

Last month, onboard drone footage revealed the moment that a £3.2million tank was completely vaporised by a Ukrainian kamikaze drone on the battlefield.

The lethal, but cheap UAV tails the T-80BVM battle tank in the frozen fields around the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka before hitting it dead on, tearing it apart in a fiery mess.

For all of the model’s advanced weaponry, armour and state-of-the-art anti-drone jamming system it was no match for the £400 Ukrainian UAV.

Since the start of the war, Kyiv estimates that Moscow has lost 6,060 tanks and 11,254 armoured combat vehicles – many to homemade Ukrainian drones.

It comes as over the weekend, Russia’s war in Ukraine grinded into its third bloody year.

However, last week just as Putin boasted the «absolute success» of his military, he suffered one of his largest single blows of the war.

Ukraine launched a triple HIMARS missile strike that wiped out 65 Russian soldiers as they lined up for a parade.

The troops were killed en masse by the US-made missiles after a general told them to get into formation in the Russian-occupied Donetsk region.

Only a day after, Ukraine wiped out dozens more soldiers in two further HIMARS strikes on other training grounds in the occupied Kherson region.

In harrowing clarity, a video released by Ukraine showed how the missiles slammed into the undefended squaddies as they rehearsed war games.

The three devastatingly deadly pinpoint strikes exposed how unprotected and exposed Putin’s troops were despite being achingly close to the front line.

Left as sitting ducks, the strikes left bodies scattered all over the frozen terrain with the exact number of casualties unknown.
