  • A Ukrainian soldier called Russian tech support after a captured Russian tank wouldn't start, per Forbes.
  • The support staff seemed unaware they were speaking to a Ukrainian and offered their assistance.
  • Ukraine has been capturing and repurposing Russia's tanks for their own use.

A Ukrainian officer decided to call Russian tech support for help when he ran into issues operating a captured Russian tank.

The officer, whose callsign is Kochevnik, was seen in a video making what appeared to be calls trolling staff working for the Russian tank manufacturer, Uralvagonzavod. The videos were posted to YouTube by Militarnyi, a Ukraine-based media outlet reporting on the war.
