THIS is the humiliating moment a hulking six-tonne Putin drone “guided by AI” crash landed on a Russian house during a test mission.

The Altius unmanned aircraft, boasting an impressive 94-foot wingspan, crashed into a home located on the outskirts of Kazan in southwest Russia due to a “navigation failure”.

The reconnaissance drone – with a range of 6,200 mile range – was on a test flight for possible use in Ukraine.

But it all went wrong when the AI system navigating the plane reportedly stopped working and the drone landed on a Russian civilian home instead.

Miraculously, no-one was hurt.

Terrifying footage shows the device travelling overhead before panning to the burning home.

Giant flames are pictured engulfing the scorched residence as locals watch with horror.

Billowing black smoke fills the air as charred debris and rubble covers the ground and surrounding trees.

Thankfully, the residents avoided injury when the long-range UAV collided with their house. They managed to extinguish the fire before emergency responders showed up.

Developers pointed fingers at “unidentified electronic warfare equipment” as the cause of the navigation failure, which happened less than a mile from the Kazan Gorbunov Aircraft Plant.

The drone can hold a precision-guided bomb or missile payload.

An eyewitness said: “At first, we didn’t even think it was a plane.

Bloodthirsty Putin hits Ukraine with almost 1,000 missiles a DAY as he faces his biggest dilemma yet

“But when we saw the wing, we understood everything.”

This type of monster drone has been in service with the Russian military since 2021 but there is no record of it so far being deployed in the war in Ukraine.

The failed drone attack comes as Russia increases its blitz on Ukraine, hammering the country with 1,000 drones and missiles every day.

Yesterday, was the second massive assault in the four days since Trump’s call with Putin, and represents a brazen defiance of the President’s peace agenda.

Moscow’s firepower capacity is constantly increasing and his forces have regularly broken the record for the largest daily volley of weapons in recent weeks.

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.

And finally, just last Friday, Putin terrorised Kyiv with a firestorm of 550 drones and missiles – just as he and Trump finished a phone call.

Russia’s defence industry is ballooning as projects come to fruition – such as an expanded missile plant in Votkinsk and rapidly expanding supply chains.

With an expanding arsenal, the size of Russia’s regular salvos look set only to increase – meaning they could soon nudge 1000 weapons per day.
