Visitors to an exhibition in Munich, Germany, are being greeted by a real downed Shahed drone and a generated video of its possible use. The exhibition is located at the entrance to the Ukraine House, one of the venues of the Munich Security Conference, where part of its official events are held, and is arranged so that all visitors must pass by the downed Russian drone.
Behind the UAV, which has had its warhead removed, a two-minute AI-generated video is being played on a large screen on loop. The video, created using artificial intelligence, begins with a black screen and the phrase: "Some may say it can never happen. But what if it can?" It then cuts to the large-scale launch of Shahed drones somewhere in Russia, before showing combat drones flying over the streets of Munich and Vienna, with shots of St Stephen's Cathedral, Allianz Arena and the Bayerischer Hof, where the Munich Conference is currently being held.
The video then depicts drones striking targets in Davos and Brussels. In the Belgian capital, one of the targets hit multiple times is the European Parliament building.
The footage incorporates quotes from Western politicians and media publications, as well as a statement by Russian propagandist and Putin puppet, Vladimir Solovyov.
"We will once again have to destroy Berlin; we will have to enter Paris and Vienna," Solovyov was quoted as saying on December 16 last year.
Also included were the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz's, comments during his New Year's Eve address, where he warned: "We are seeing more and more clearly that Russia's aggression was and is part of a plan targeted against the whole of Europe".

"Two-thirds of Europeans believe their country would not be able to defend itself militarily against a Russian attack," Le Grand Continent was also quoted as saying, citing data from its poll of 9,500 respondents in nine EU member states, conducted in December. The country with the highest confidence in its military's ability to take on Russia was France (44%), while the lowest was registered in Belgium, Italy and Portugal with rates over 85%.
In the footage, drones can also be seen flying above the Swiss town of Davos, known for hosting the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting. Russia was once a major player at Davos, even hosting its own "Russia House". However, since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Russian officials and oligarchs have been barred from the forum.

The Kremlin often strikes back at Davos by framing it as a gathering of a "Western-centric elite" that is out of touch with the rest of the world. Russia promotes its own alternative, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), positioning it as the Davos of the "multipolar world" and instead focusing on BRICS nations, including China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
The Ukraine House, where this exhibition is displayed alongside anti-drone systems and several artworks dedicated to the war, was organised in Munich by the Viktor Pinchuk Foundation. This year, the Munich Conference agreed, for the first time, to create a Ukraine House, making it one of the official venues. At the opening ceremony, Germany's ambassador to Ukraine, Heiko Thoms, stated that Russia is committing war crimes during its war against Ukraine.
