Kadyrov, who has ruled Russia’s Chechen republic for 17 years, has long been a staunch ally of President Vladimir Putin. The 47-year-old leader has boasted of sending thousands of troops to support Putin’s war in Ukraine, adding in the Telegram post that he hoped to send the cannon-equipped Cybertruck to the front lines of the war.

“Due to these excellent characteristics, the Cybertruck will soon be sent to the area of ​​​​special military operations, where it will be in demand under the appropriate conditions,” Kadyrov said in the post.

The Cybertruck, an electric pickup truck developed by Musk’s Tesla, was unveiled by the company in 2019 and production began last year.

Tesla did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Musk, who is the richest person in the world according to Forbes, is the billionaire owner of Tesla and SpaceX. He has become an increasingly polarizing figure in recent years, especially after he bought social media platform Twitter and changed the name to X.
