TWISTED Vladimir Putin is planning to launch an apocalyptic wave of 2,000 drones at Ukraine all at once, a top European general has warned.

Footage shows Russia mass producing the deadly weapons with Moscow reportedly looking to overwhelm Ukrainian air defences with the incoming blitz.

German Major General Christian Freuding says his team has uncovered worrying intelligence which points towards Putin’s next attack plan.

The tyrant has ramped up his nightly offensives in recent weeks with constant bombardments on Ukrainian civilians.

The attacks come amid pressure from the US and Europe for Russia to agree to a ceasefire to finally end the conflict.

US President Donald Trump even imposed a 50-day peace deadline on Putin this month.

But the constant warnings have done little to stop Putin.

Freuding now believes that Russia is greatly enhancing its weapons production capacity to facilitate a large-scale deployment of drones in the coming months.

He claims that Moscow plans to launch 2,000 Shahed drones simultaneously.

The Iranian made unmanned aircraft has been a key weapon in Moscow’s arsenal during the three years of conflict.

Warped Russian state TV has shown off mad Vlad’s “drone death factory” packed out with the kamikaze killers.

The channel boasted about the “scale of this production” at the plant as they showed off “huge, bright workshops in which you can get lost” in.

They claim that “hundreds of machines, thousands of workers” are in the factory each day.

These include teenagers who have been recruited to support Putin’s war after being “educated” – or indoctrinated – at a special drone university.

Along with his catastrophic warning, Freuding also stressed that Ukraine needs to develop “smart countermeasures” to stop any looming attacks.

He believes Kyiv needs to deploy low-cost defensive drones to repel large-scale blitzes.

This way they can produce thousands of unmanned weapons instead of relying on a high-cost system such as the Patriot.

The missile defence system costs around $5million and despite being highly accurate it is likely to be overwhelmed by the surging waves of drones.

Freuding noted that Ukraine might also initiate strikes deep within Russian territory, aiming at military aircraft, airfields, and defense factories, to challenge Moscow strategically.

Russia’s aerial threats have been a key fear for Ukraine and their allies in recent weeks.

At the start of July, experts warned Russia could soon hammer Ukraine with 1,000 drones and missiles every day.

Russia’s defence industry is expanding their projects rapidly to increase their supply lines – including at the “death drone factory”.

Moscow’s firepower capacity has constantly increased this year with his forces regularly breaking the record for the largest daily volley of weapons.

On June 1, a 479-strong wave of drones and missiles became Russia‘s largest unmanned aerial assault of the war.

June 9 saw that broken with 499, then again on June 29 with 537.

At the start of the month, Putin terrorised Kyiv with a firestorm of 550 drones and missiles – marking his largest attack yet.

Ukraine has valiantly hit back across the past week with them launching five straight days of drone attacks on Moscow.

Trump’s 50-day peace deadline for Vlad

THE Kremlin mocked Donald Trump’s 50-day peace deadline and may now demand even more Ukrainian territory instead of trying to sign peace.

Vladimir Putin will instead keep terrorising Ukrainian civilians during the seven-week period, sources said.

The agitated US President expressed his displeasure with Russia, warning of imposing 100 percent secondary tariffs on Moscow if they persist with their offensive in Ukraine.

Trump said he wants the war to end, but doubled down on his frustration with Putin, saying he’s “disappointed” in the Russian leader.

But a snarling Putin has always declined and instead ramped up his ground and aerial offensives across Ukraine.

He also vowed to send US weapons – compromising of “everything” in their arsenal – to Nato so they can distribute them to Kyiv.
