Ramzan Kadyrov, the brutal dictator of Chechnya and prominent Putin ally, has invited Elon Musk to visit him in Grozny. Kadyrov wrote the invitation in a Telegram post where he praised the Cybertruck below a video of him driving the stainless steel monstrosity around Chechen city streets.
Kadyrov smiled like a child while driving the Cybertruck. “We received a Tesla Cybertruck from the respected Elon Musk,” the post said. “I was pleased to test the new technology and was personally convinced that it is called the ‘Cyberbeast’. A real invulnerable and fast animal.”
The bed of the Cybertruck was open and someone had mounted a Russian PK machine gun in the bed. Kadyrov said the car was a dream to drive and that they may soon send it to his soldiers. “I express my sincere gratitude to Elon Musk! He is, of course, the strongest genius of our time…a great man!” He said on Telegram.
Lithium ion is pure shit in extreme temps… and of course an added load of ordinance and armor… this thing will have less reliability and range than a kids power wheels.
Not to mention, they like to catch fire.
I’d be willing to bet tracer rounds would be very effective. Fun fact- the “bulletproof” doors aren’t actually all that bullet proof.
They might stop 9mm pistol fire, but after a few shots, not so much. Rifle? Naw, it’s going through.
An AK bullet can cause spalling through centimetres of steel, and can massacre a non-uparmored HMMWV.
That truck is also sitting on a pile of explosive batteries.
Boom.
Now I’m just remembering the 80s commercials, where the adults are surprised that the kid is driving…and then the camera zooms out, and it’s a power wheels. Which means if the kid was keeping up with the real car, why the FUCK was this adult driving at like 1/2 a mile per hour???
How cold could the foot of the Caucuses really be?
