THIS is the bizarre moment Vladimir Putin’s warlord pal Ramzan Kadyrov appears to send machine gun mounted Cybertrucks to Ukraine.
Chechen chief Kadyrov claims Elon Musk gifted him the modified Tesla but after the billionaire CEO shut down the remarks a feud erupted between the pair.

Footage shows a pair of the huge, silver trucks supposedly racing towards the Ukrainian frontlines.
Soldiers can be seen riding in the back of the gun-toting Teslas before they park up and begin firing countless rounds from the mounted machine gun onboard.
They appear to be shooting down drones in the video.
The bizarre claim that the trucks are at the Ukrainian frontline are not backed up in the elaborate video.
The video, posted to Kadyrov’s Telegram, is followed up by a caption talking about how Russia is using Western-made equipment “against its own Western Ukronatists”.
Kadyrov, 47, made his intentions clear back in August about wanting to use the Cybertrucks in warfare.
The Chechen warlord has been a staunch supporter of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and even sent his fighters as part of the tyrant’s “special military operation”.
He said about the powerful Tesla: “It’s a truly invulnerable and fast machine. A manoeuvrable vehicle that reaches excellent speeds and overcomes obstacles.
“Based on these excellent characteristics, the Cybertruck will soon be sent to the Special Military Operation (SMO) zone, where it will be in demand in the appropriate conditions.
“I am confident this ‘beast’ will be of great benefit to our fighters.”
He even flaunted a new Tesla Cybertruck which he claims to have received from Musk last month.
Video shows him driving around in the huge motor and even operating a machine gun that he attached to the back of it.
Kadyrov said he “fell in love” with the motor and described the Tesla as a “Cyberbeast” as he thanked Musk for the present.
Musk quickly denied donating the truck to Kadyrov blasting it as “lies” via X.
The back and forth soon sparked a fierce rivalry between the two power hungry men.
Days after the initial social media spat the Chechen leader accused the US billionaire of remotely disabling the Cybertruck.

On Telegram, Kadyrov posted: “Elon Musk acted ugly.
“He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then remotely turns them off.
“This is not manly.”
Despite the claims of the Cybertruck’s being deployed to a warzone military analysts have labelled the idea a publicity stunt as Putin continues to fight with Ukraine.
The Russian tyrant launched his invasion of Ukraine back in February 2022 with him expecting to steamroll the much smaller state in days.
But now more than 900 days later Putin’s forces remain bogged down and stuck in a fierce battle for territory.
Ukraine and Russia are locked in a brutal war of attrition – but Putin has a seemingly endless supply of manpower and weapons.
Vlad has lost more than 630,000 troops and more than 10,000 armoured vehicles – yet his war machine grinds on.
Ukraine seized a huge swath of Kursk in recent month but Russia is feared to be making gains elsewhere.
Kyiv continues to call for more Western support, with the defeat of Ukraine meaning Russia would be right on Nato’s doorstep.
And it feared Putin would seek to seize more territory from former Soviet states as he dreams of building a new Russian empire.
Who is Ramzan Kadyrov?
VLADIMIR Putin’s Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov has been a staunch supporter of the war in Ukraine.
The former separatist rebel fought against the Russians in the First Chechen War, only to change sides and join Moscow in the second conflict in 1999.
Human rights groups say he personally oversees the torture of political opponents in secret dungeons and runs death squads known as “Kadyrovites”.
Ramzan Kadyrov was born in Chechnya in 1976, and like many men of his generation has lived a life largely defined by two brutal wars that ripped through the republic in the 1990s and 2000s.
In the first Chechen war of 1994 to 1996, he fought alongside his father, Akhmad Kadyrov, for the Chechen separatist cause.
But in 1999, after Mr Putin launched the second Chechen war to restore Russian control over the break away republic, the Kadyrovs changed sides.
Akhmad was subsequently installed as the pro-Russian president of the republic.
When he was assassinated in 2004, the baton of pro-Russian leadership passed to his stocky son.
The tracksuit wearing bodybuilder was not an obvious politician after being backed by Putin, he quickly become one of the most powerful men in Russia.
But as he has grown more powerful, he has become an increasingly divisive figure in Russian politics.
To supporters, he is a Russian patriot who has brought peace to a war ravaged region, presided over unprecedented post-war recovery and reconstruction.
To his enemies he is a turn-coat rebel who has turned Chechnya into his personal fiefdom where Russian law doesn’t apply, and who has used terror and murder to crush not only the separatist Islamist insurgency, but political rivals, human rights activists, and domestic dissenters.
