      Kadyrov widely promoted these vehicles, touting their effectiveness in terms of mobility and their ability to operate in difficult terrains.

      It’s some regional Chechen leader. Still part of Russia but they govern with a degree of autonomy from the Russian state.

    So… he wanted to rely on an overpriced mobile trashbomb bought from a NATO country that could be disabled remotely during a war against their puppet while live streaming himself to the enemy.

      Akhmat Kadyrov’s forces beat the Russian army in the first Chechen war using guerilla ambush tactics only for his son to send them out years later in fucking cybertrucks

    what’s more likely? that they were disabled remotely or that they’re just being cybertrucks and failing instantly when they encounter a grain of sand?

      “they were touted for their offroad capabilities” for the same cost they couldve airlifted a dozen hiluxes out of Syria that have greater range, armament, and offroad reliability than these fucking dorkass mobiles

        they could’ve got a hundred lada nivas, even those have to be way better at off roading than the rustbucket

        also, i’m pretty sure you cant throw an egg in russia without finding someone who has experience fixing ladas with a paper bag and a wrench.

      Either way, for the first time in my life, I’m not blaming Elon Musk. This is roadrunner vs. coyote level dumb-shittiery. Straight up running into a poorly painted rock level of incompetence. An entire, “Sure, I know this tunnel wasn’t there an hour ago… but I see a tunnel now!” levels of cartoonish idiocy. Child shit. Buying a Meta Quest 3 for the front lines so soldiers could masturbate to 3d porn for morale purposes and to encourage soldiers being sent to the front line would be a better use of money, 100% unironically, make a bigger pro-Russia impact on the war. And I’m talking 1-to-1, not 1-to-100’s, based on cost.

        oh yes, buying an awful car made by your direct enemy WHILE you’re fighting a war with them… and then sending it to the front

    How would you even tell between a cybertruck that has been deliberately disabled by elon musk and a cybertruck that has simply died after experiencing no tampering whatsoever?

    Well that’s kind of his fault isn’t it? Why would you trust an enemy country to manufacture your military equipment in a time of war?
