Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov has bought and pimped up a Tesla Cybertruck into a killing machine by mounting a machine gun.

In the video released on his personal Telegram channel, he drives around the grounds of his presidential palace in the capital Grozny.

The Telegram channel implies that Musk sent him the truck, but that seems unlikely because the UK and we have sanctioned Kadyrov after being linked to numerous human rights violations, and that would make Musk an arms dealer which cannot be true.

In fact Musk, when asked about his donation told the hack who asked him: "Are you so retarded that you think I would donate a Cybertruck to a Russian general?" We have no answer to that one -- it is the word of a tin pot meglomanic autocrat and friend of Putin's word against Kadyrov.  

Kadyrov described the lightly armoured vehicle as ‘undoubtedly one of the best in the world,’ adding ‘I literally fell in love.’

Kadyrov said: “I was happy to test the new technology and personally saw that it is not by chance that it is called the ‘Cyberbeast.’ A real invulnerable and fast animal.”

His plans for the ‘beast’ include soon deploying it to the frontline in Ukraine to give Putin’s forces a boost. If this is the case then Kadyrov has got his paws on more of them.

“It is not for nothing that they call this a cyberbeast,’ the dictator said. ‘I am sure this beast will bring plenty of benefits to our troops.”

We would have thought the shiny silver would be seen by Ukrainian drones from miles away, and while it does have some armour, it should take a few seconds to take out.

The Chechen leader also took advantage of his latest publicity stunt to invite the Tesla and X owner for a visit.

‘I don’t think the Russian Foreign Ministry would mind such a trip,’ Kadyrov said.
