A Russian infantry fighting vehicle collided into a Land Rover in Tula — and things didn’t end well for the SUV, video posted to Russian social media shows.
The accident took place when the Land Rover’s driver tried to merge into a convoy on Monday evening, resulting in the BMD amphibious infantry fighting vehicle colliding with its rear side, the rg.ru news website reported Tuesday.
While no one was injured, the back of the Land Rover was damaged significantly. Unsurprisingly, the infantry fighting vehicle was left unscathed from the interaction.
The collision took place in Tula’s Zarechensky district, near where the Tula 106th Airborne Division regiments are stationed.
Authorities confirmed that an accident involving a “tracked vehicle” had happened and that they had launched an investigation.
The moral of the story? Always drive defensively in combat-vehicle traffic.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
