Reports suggest that Tesla’s Cybertruck has been spotted on the battlefield in Russia and Ukraine, this time on the Russian side, after a high-ranking official from the Chechen region acquired one and outfitted it with a machine gun.
Ramzan Kadyrov, the longtime leader of Russia’s Chechen Republic, is widely criticized for his alleged human rights abuses as the de facto dictator of Chechnya over the past two decades. He is directly linked to a multitude of alleged torture and murder incidents.
However, he has a profound admiration for Elon Musk and the revolutionary design of the Tesla Cybertruck.
Kadyrov posted images of himself behind the wheel of a Cybertruck, the futuristic vehicle adorned with an impressive array of armaments, including a mounted machine gun.
The Chechen leader’s expression of gratitude to Elon Musk for the Cybertruck has sparked speculation about a potential gift or sanction-bypassing transaction between the two parties, although a direct transfer seems highly improbable given the existing international restrictions on dealings with Russia and its affiliates.
It appears evident that he’s expressing gratitude to Musk for conceptualizing the Cybertruck.
Notwithstanding his Telegram posts, it appears evident that Kadyrov considers Musk the “most outstanding intellect of modern times,” and he suggests the Cybertruck could be employed in a “specific military operation” – the very strategy Russia is exploring for its invasion of Ukraine?
The Chechen leader extended an invitation to Musk to revisit Chechnya.
In an earlier report, we highlighted the unusual case of two Cybertrucks detained by Lithuanian customs officials due to concerns that they were destined for Russia.
According to a reliable source, the Cybertrucks reportedly arrived in Russia before being processed by Lithuanian customs; although, our attempts to confirm this information were unsuccessful. Are there multiple Cybertrucks purchased by Kadyrov or distinct ones?
