Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov claimed on Telegram on Saturday, “We received a Tesla cybertruck from the respected Elon Musk.”
Kadyrov’s claim that he received a Cyberbeast from Elon Musk or Tesla was not independently confirmed. Given that the US State Department has sanctioned Kadyrov over numerous human rights violations, the warlord more than likely bought the vehicle off the black market or through a third party.
Video uploaded on Telegram shows the warlord parading the Cyberbeast with a heavy machine gun mounted in the rear bed around Chechnya, a republic within the Russian Federation.
Kadyrov said, “I express my sincere gratitude to Elon Musk! This is, of course, the strongest genius of our time and a specialist. Great man! Well, the cybertruck turned out to be a powerful project. Undoubtedly one of the best cars in the world! I literally fell in love with this car.”

“Based on such excellent characteristics, the cybertruck will soon be sent to the North-East Military District zone, where it will be in demand under appropriate conditions. I am sure this “beast” will bring a lot of benefits to our soldiers,” he said.
If the translation is accurate, the Cybertruck could soon be battle-tested on the modern battlefield in Eastern Europe. However, the stainless steel exoskeleton, which can withstand impact from a 9 mm handgun, would need to be upgraded with heavy armor to withstand rifle rounds and IEDs.
On Friday, we were the first to reveal Archimedes Defense and Unplugged Performance’s UP.FIT’s new bolt-on ‘ultimate defense upgrade‘ for the Tesla Cybetruck to protect against “14.5mm heavy machine gun rounds” and “IED/mine protection” for military and defense operations.
Without additional steel and ceramic armor plating to stop heavy machine gun rounds and a ‘V-hull’ to protect the battery pack, plus a turbine generator in the rear to provide constant charging, Kadyrov’s claim the Cybertruck will be sent to the battlefield is just a stunt. After all, a Ukranian kamikaze drone would easily penetrate the glass roof.
Pros: Accelerates and stops fast.
Cons: Everything else that you could think of.
LOL!
Oh snap this is the first Cybertruck Technical! Watch out Toyota Hilux your days of being the technical of choice are limited ha. I wonder if Is Is can afford cybertrucks and where to charge in the craphole ME so many questions.
That’s a dshk machine gun...12.7 mm the choice of former Soviet warlords. The 12.7 is more powerful than the 50 year older BMG round.
Yes. I was referring to Kadyrov’s promise to deploy this Tesla to Ukr. battlefields. Where it will be promptly shredded by a Ma Deuce in the hands of Ukrainians.
Yeah that stock cybertruck would be torn up by the BMG.
This one the uparmored one would be rated for 14.5mm and would shake off 50 cal. Put a minigun on the top with active radar like a pint sized CWIS to shoot down drones at 500+ meters out. 6000 rounds per min of 7.62 would shred any drone made.
