In a video shot by the Ukrainian military, he is “probably not the best tank driver of the Russian army.”

The video, shared by the administrators of the Ukraine Weapons Tracker page, captured a Russian tank speeding down a forest road and then breaking through bushes.

Unfortunately for the Russian tankers, there was a stream of water behind them, into which the armored vehicle unceremoniously fell.

The video, to which the famous soundtrack of the Benny Hill series was added, was first distributed by fighters of the 53rd mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In addition, at the very end of the recording, an explosion can be seen near the tank, which indicates that it was moving at such a speed because it was being pursued by Ukrainian artillery.

“Russian tank turned into a submarine”

As expected, the recording caused a wave of ironic comments.

“Come on guys, this new Russian amphibious tank is so secret we haven’t even heard of it before,” said one Twitter user, while another wrote that the combat vehicle had been “promoted to the rank of a submarine.” This was not the only such comment, some also mentioned a Russian tank that “tried to become a satellite”.

Many Twitter users also mentioned the heat in eastern Ukraine, saying that the tankers just wanted to cool off.

In fact, as images posted on social media since June show, Russian tankers have resorted to all sorts of improvisations to try to prevent their vehicles from overheating.

The soldiers sent by Vladimir Putin to Ukraine began to complain more loudly about the conditions at the front in the context of numerous shortages due to logistical problems of the Russian army.
