An unarmed drone weighing around 100 kilograms crashed on the outskirts of Noginsk, Moscow, Russia on Monday, a spokesperson for the Emergency Services said.

"An unmanned aerial vehicle weighing about 100 kilograms was found on the outskirts of the Bogorodsky city district near a community garden," the spokesperson stated.

The aircraft was propelled by a US-made internal combustion engine, according to the official.

The drone dropped uncontrollably toward the ground and eventually crashed in the community garden, which ripped the unmanned aircraft into multiple large pieces.

"Preliminary, this is a model aircraft without any ammunition," the spokesperson underlined, adding that police are investigating the incident to determine the drone's launching site.

The city of Noginsk is almost 34 kilometers east of Moscow and is home to 103,000 people, it holds two military-industrial sites.

The obscure nature of the aircraft will prompt some concerns as the Ukrainian crisis poses threats to Russian security.

The country has led strong campaigns against UAV production facilities in Ukraine, at the end of 2022.

Russia's Defense Ministry confirmed that it hit "the facilities of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine," which is involved in the production of drones.

In a statement, the Russian Ministry said the strikes destroyed "storage facilities and launch sites" for the drones, adding that "the aim of the strike was achieved."

"The plans of the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks against Russia in the near future have been thwarted," the statement read.

In January 2023 TASS announced that since the start of the Ukraine war, "the Ukrainian military has lost 355 aircraft, 199 helicopters, 2,779 unmanned aerial vehicles, 399 anti-aircraft missile systems, 7,350 tanks, and other armored combat vehicles, 957 combat vehicles of multiple launch rocket systems, 3,756 field artillery pieces and mortars have been destroyed, as well as 7,859 special military vehicles," numbers which have since then increased.
