THIS is the moment Vladimir Putin's gas rigs in the Black Sea burst into flames after being hammered by sea drones.
Ukrainian forces strike the platforms in daring night raids using the unmanned craft as the seek to dominate the ocean and defend against Russia.
The latest footage released by the valiant Ukrainians shows a number of strikes on the rigs which they believe are used to house surveillance equipment.
The sea drones attack the structures at their base while air drones strike the platform.
Clips show rigs engulfed in massive blazes while others show huge explosions on the platforms as the drones strike.
The drones capture footage as they race towards the massive beams holding the platform up, before they explode.
Other drones which circle the area then capture the footage and show the rigs engulfed in fire.
One clip caught by a flying FPV drone shows people desperately run away as they hear the drone descend in at them and explode.
Another clip even shows a dolphin jumping up out of the water as it swims along with the drone.

So, how is it daring to fly a drone against an unarmed oil rig?
The word daring used to mean that the odds are against you and that you were putting your life at risk.
I suppose the drone pilot might be risking carpal tunnel syndrome.
