This video captures the moment Russian special forces kill a senior ISIS member in Makhachkala, situated in the Republic of Dagestan, Russia, as reports the Daily Mail. As part of the operation they also use a remote controlled robot machine gun.

The lethal weapon is positioned by a building housing Rustam Asilderov, also known as Sheikh Abu Mohammad al-Qadari, and four other men who the Russians claim have been "neutralised." Asilderov is thought to be partly culpable in a spate blasts in the Russian city of Volgorad in 2013, which killed 34 people when he was fighting for a Caucasus insurgent group. He was also implicated with two bomb blasts in 2012 that killed 14 people in Degestan.

Along with a load more gunfire and, peculiarly, what looks like a few roosters, the machine gun and special operatives unleash a hail storm of bullets into the building the five men were stationed at.

The FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation), claimed in a statement the following: "Among the neutralised bandits was the head of the Caucasus region's branch of the Islamic State Rustam Aselderov, and four of his close associates."

Asilderov pledged allegiance to al-Baghdadi's ISIS network in 2014 and the group subsequently named him the leader of the province.

The FSB also reported that the house contained weapons, ammunition and explosives.
