Ukrainian secret services allegedly tried to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin with an explosive drone. Although the ambush failed, the attempt was reportedly kept secret by Russian authorities. German tabloid build reports tried to kill Vladimir Putin with a UJ-22 explosive drone on April the 23rd when he was supposed to visit the Rudnevo Industrial Park near Moscow. To kill the head of the Kremlin, the UJ-22 allegedly took off from Ukraine on the afternoon of April the 23rd. It is the most modern, remotely piloted aircraft supplied to the armed forces of the former Soviet Republic, capable of covering distances of up to 800 kilometers. The target would have been the Rudnevo Industrial Park near Moscow, 500 kilometers from Ukraine. The Ukrainian activist Yuri Romanenko, believed to be very close to the intelligence service in Kiev, said that, in the past week, the secret services were informed of Putin's visit to Rudnevo. As a result, the UJ-22 took off and overtook the air defenses of the Russian Federation and crashed not far from the target. Several Russian media outlets reported that a drone of this type crashed near Voroskogo, about 20 kilometers east of the Rudnevo Industrial Park. The remotely piloted aircraft mounted 30 blocks of C-4 explosives for a total weight of 17 kilograms of the M-112 type also used by the armed forces of the United States and Canada. Pavel Zarubin, a journalist close to the Kremlin, had reported on April the 23rd that Putin was to visit an industrial park in Moscow. However, it was not clear whether the visit was scheduled for April the 23rd or April the 24th. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov later said on April the 24th that Putin did not have any events planned.
