Tesla’s Cybertruck has been converted into police cars and ambulances, so it comes as no surprise that the monster of a pickup is swerving into militarian fields too.
Recently, Vladimir Putin’s warlord ally Ramzan Kadyrov was spotted behind the wheel of a Cybertruck equipped with a formidable machine gun. In a video posted on his Telegram channel, the Chechen leader praised the vehicle’s capabilities, dubbing it “undoubtedly one of the best cars in the world.” He claimed the vehicle was gifted by Elon Musk, a statement denied by the Tesla boss.
I wonder how Elon Musk will comment on this.

Considering that war criminal Kadyrov is under US sanctions, that doesn't look like a good ad campaign for Tesla Cybertruck. https://t.co/58Gk2ZtPg9 pic.twitter.com/xE2k33WM1T
But the Cybertruck’s detour into lines of combat doesn’t stop there. Unplugged Performance, a Tesla-focused aftermarket company, has teamed up with Archimedes Defense to transform the cyberpunk-esque vehicle into a true electric tank.

The modifications include bolt-on, bolt-off armor plating, a frunk-mounted generator capable of running on multiple fuel types, and even Starlink satellite connectivity for staying connected in the most remote combat zones.
The STING APC package, offering enhanced protection against IEDs and mines, features offset steel and ceramic armor plating designed to withstand heavy machine gun rounds up to 14.5mm. And with the ability to run on jet fuel, diesel, or biodiesel, the Cybertruck is set to keep going even when the power grid is down.
How far do you think the Cybertruck will go next?
