The Kremlin claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin survived a massive drone attack on his helicopter last week.
On Tuesday Putin was visiting the Kursk region when his helicopter was 'virtually at the epicenter of repelling a large-scale attack by the enemy's drones,' said Yury Dashkin, commander of a Russian air defense division, according to the state news agency TASS.
'Therefore, we simultaneously conducted an air defense battle and ensured the safety of the presidential helicopter’s flight in the air,' Dashkin said.
The Kursk region borders Ukraine, with Moscow claiming that it had driven Ukrainian forces out of the area last month.
The Russians have provided no additional evidence that the near-miss occurred.
President Donald Trump was asked about the claim Sunday when he left his Bedminster golf resort and said he had no knowledge of it.
'I haven't heard that,' he told reporters. 'I don't know, but I have not heard that,' Trump added.

The Daily Mail claims that Nikki Schwab doesn’t get Talking Points from MI6.
What Belgorod doink?
It’s easier to survive when you’re not in the helicopter... Better luck next time.
Better luck next time.
If it was a massive drone attack it was not targeting his helicopter. For that they would only need one. Putin was just in the wrong place at the wrong time when Ukraine was conducting a drone attack in the area.
Hope he had his Depends on.
ZEEPER Daily Mail Ping!
This shaggy dog story gets shaggier every time they tell it.
More likely it was the pilot got a report of drones in the area, and Putin, upon hearing it, shat his pants and demanded the helicopter GTFO of the area, lest he suffer the same fate as his good friend Prigozhin.
Brave man, that Putin. Wrestles tigers, dontchaknow.
Z man tried to Yamamoto Putin? Wow. I’m sure Putin will pay him back.
If Putin gets the urge, he can vaporize Europe , Canada, Australia, and US, with a phone call.
It’s a good thing we don’t have Grazer One for the ukes to hack like Dane did. /s
Even the Russians aren’t buying this fable.
So-called drone attack was in inside job.

The Kremlin announced an assassination attempt on Putin in the Kursk region.
It was hardly an accident that Vladimir Putin’s helicopter ended up in the epicenter of an attack by enemy drones during the president’s visit to the Kursk region. This incident should be considered an assassination attempt on Vladimir Vladimirovich, which was carried out by Russia’s internal enemies. This is the opinion expressed by our source in the Kremlin. “Many people are talking about this, but everyone is afraid to speak out openly. I am not afraid. I am sure that they wanted to deliberately expose Vladimir Vladimirovich’s helicopter to enemy drones or our air defense so that it would crash. It simply could not be otherwise!” he is sure.
Our interlocutor blames “internal enemies who have gotten their hopes up and are hoping that the SVO will soon end and they will again live as before” for the assassination attempt on Putin. “They think that if Vladimir Vladimirovich is gone, they will come to an agreement with the West on everything or with the Kiev regime, lift sanctions and live happily ever after. They are hoping in vain, nothing will work out for them!” the source added. And he believes that the security forces will sort out the situation, and all those responsible will be punished very harshly. It should be noted that our interlocutors in the Church had previously hinted at the threat of an assassination attempt on the president. The Russian Orthodox Church even increased prayers for Putin to provide him with additional protection.
At the same time, sources in the FSB and FSO note that there were “some signals” about a possible assassination attempt on Vladimir Vladimirovich. But “none of them received sufficient confirmation.”
