A recent video showing a KamAZ truck ruthlessly driving through rough waters off Sakhalin Island in Russia’s Far East has made waves online.
The footage shows the driver of a three-axle KamAZ truck driving along the coast at high tide, tackling massive waves that often crash on top of the vehicle itself.
While the truck manages to run even after being submerged, it is almost pulled into the sea at one point with only its roof visible — but the driver simply opens the door, drains the water and keeps on driving.
The truck was operated by local fishing plant workers who were trying to reach the factory after missing the low tide, Russian media reported. Talk about a strong work ethic!
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.
Remind me later.
