Russia announced the fall of an allegedly Ukrainian drone in the suburbs of Moscow.

According to Telegram channels, the drone fell near the Gazprom gas compressor station.

Photos capturing this alleged drone were also released on the social media pages of the aggressor country.

Russian claim that the drone was discovered around 11 a.m. local time in the village of Gubastovo, Kolomensky district, Moscow region of the Russian Federation.

According to preliminary reports, no one was injured as a result of the aircraft’s fall.

The Russians have already accused Ukraine of flying this drone over their territory.

The aggressor country’s media speculate that the drone may have lost altitude due to the engine running out of fuel or hitting trees and damaging the wing.

The invaders claim that the wreckage of the drone is similar to the Ukrainian UJ-22 Airborne UAV.

This drone was presented at the Arms and Security 2021 international arms exhibition in Kyiv. The arsenal of this unmanned aerial vehicle includes unguided aerial bombs that can be used to destroy enemy manpower and armored vehicles.

Also, an unmanned aerial vehicle can carry a camera or an optical-electronic station.
