Russia has released a chilling propaganda video in which Moscow's defence systems blow up Santa Claus and his reindeer, as the Kremlin remains silent on accusations it killed 38 people after it shot down an Azerbaijani passenger plane.

The propaganda video, released on pro-Russian Telegram channels, shows a 'Western' Santa flying over a snowy Moscow while carrying a can of Coca Cola while wishing Russian citizens a merry Christmas.

He can be seen carrying missiles in his sleigh that resemble a NATO Trident or Minuteman III ICBM and others.

But within seconds, he is blown up with a festive missile that leaves a firework in its wake.

The dark video then cuts to a missile operator sitting with Grandfather Frost, a Russian version of Santa Claus, who asks: 'That's it?'

The missile operator replies: 'That's it, the target has been destroyed.'

Grandfather Frost then eerily says: 'Right, we don't need anything foreign in our skies. Happy New Year!'

--- "Putin may have aiming at Santa in his flying sleigh, but he actually hit an Azeri airliner."

And in other, quite similar news....

"...two F/A-18 Super Hornets were flying above the US guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg during anti-Houthi missions in the region when the Navy launched a pair of surface-to-air missiles from the ship. While the first US jet was accidentally struck by one of the weapons — with the pilots safely ejecting from the aircraft before it crashed — the second plane took evasive maneuvers to avoid the missile aiming at it."

Friendly fire incidents began when our ancestors first began to throw rocks and sticks. Putin though doing video of shooting down Santa Claus takes it to a higher level, as does the Russian refusal to permit a landing by the Azeri airliner after they hit it by mistake.

Forbes writes: "The video wasn't produced by the Kremlin, yet, Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation suggested it still played into Moscow's narrative that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is one of NATO's making.

" 'Russian paranoia about the 'NATO threat' has reached new heights. Russian propagandists have released a 'social video' depicting Santa Claus being shot down by Russian air defenses near the Kremlin,' CforCD said in a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter."

Okay, so Putin did not shoot down Santa — but we all know he is capable of it.
