This is  the tense moment a Ukrainian sniper went head-to-head against two Russian soldiers in a deadly Call of Duty-style battle. 

In the footage, which seemed to be filmed through the sniper’s scope, the brave Ukrainian soldier appears ready to shoot at enemy targets.

Two Russian soldiers then appear on camera, armed with grenade launchers ready to fire at the Ukrainian forces. 

However, the sniper then fires two clean shots taking out the soldiers before they have a chance to use the deadly weapons.  

The video, which was obtained by The Sun, then ends with smoke rising into view as the Russian forces appear to duck for cover. 

It follows reports that aid-starved Ukrainian soldiers on the frontline of Putin’s war have invented a new type of drone weapon. The menacingly named ‘Dragon’s Breath’ drone.

The new weapon includes a small FPV drone which contains a thermite bomb that when ignited drops a torrent of white-hot shards on its target.

The chemical mixture of aluminium powder and iron oxide ignites at temperatures exceeding 2,200 degrees Celsius (4,000 degrees Fahrenheit), and is capable of melting through steel, making it a highly effective demolition device.

And thermite munitions could also be used to destroy Russian artillery batteries, armoured vehicles and other military hardware nestled in the forest. 

Shocking footage of the new weapon shows the molten metal being sprayed on an wooded area in eastern Ukraine in which Russian forces were allegedly hiding. 

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s incursion into Russia has continued with the army now controlling over 500 square miles of land within the nation. 

Russian missiles have continued to batter Ukraine. Last week, Russia struck a military training centre and a nearby hospital in a central region of Poltava. 

It appeared to be one of the deadliest carried out by Russian forces since the war began more than 900 days ago on February 24, 2022 – with 41 reported casualties and over 180 people injured. 

Two days after the attack on September 5, Putin claimed at the 2024 Eastern Economic Forum that he would considered fresh peace talks with President Zelensky. 

The Russian President said China, Brazil or India could act as mediators. 

Previously, Russia has insisted that any peace talks with Ukraine would include the annexation of occupied Ukrainian territory which is redline for Ukraine who as been steadfast in not giving up any of its territory.
