A huge explosion is seen as ‘Western’ Santa and his sleigh are destroyed. The sick scene comes after Russian air defences are widely believed to have shot at a passenger plane on Christmas Day, leading to an air crash in which 38 people were killed.

Russian Santa is shown shot down in his sleigh by Russian air defences, just days after the fatal Azerbaijan plane crash.

The clip emerged shortly after Russia was accused of being involved in the crash of an airplane in Kazakhstan, which killed 38 people.
