Ramzan Kadyrov , the leader of Russia ’s Chechnya region, showed off a pair of Tesla Cybertruck trucks armed with machine guns in a video posted to Telegram last week .

Video shows the vehicles patrolling down a dirt road as part of a four -vehicle platoon, with several soldiers manning their weapons mounted on their truck beds and blasting airborne targets out of the sky.

“This is not manly,” the Russian warlord seethed over the remote shutoff.

The Cybertruck’s steel exoskeleton’ offers purportedly superior protection to that of the conventional pickup truck.

Tesla has been quick to flaunt on promotional materials.

Defense analysts aren’t convinced the vehicle has a place on the modern battlefield.

It's not totally suited for hostile environments like the front lines of the Russian invasion of Ukraine .

The Cybertruck ’s reliance on charging stations would make a fleet of armed vehicles “likely impossible to support” in any sort of protracted conflict like that taking place in Ukraine .

CSIS 's Cancian: “I doubt there are garages or mechanics near the front lines who can fix these complex devices”.
