A Russian woman has gone viral after teaching TikTokers how to ‘drive armoured tanks’.
A clip has resurfaced of social media influencer Nastya Tuman ‘starting up an armoured personnel carrier’ that is meant to be used for transporting soldiers.
The woman could be seen flipping and pressing several buttons in the clip as she explained the ‘life hack’.

In the video, she said: “If you happen to find a free or abandoned armoured personnel carrier, here’s a life hack on how to start it.”
Over in the hashtags, she added: “How to run BTR [which refers to Russia’s ‘Bronetransportyor’ personnel carrier].”
According to the outlet Marca, Tuman insisted that the video wasn’t created to cause violence but rather to entertain her viewers by sharing it as a parody.
Supposedly, she originally shared the clip at some point last year.
Many TikTokers have taken to the comments on the influencer’s viral video and said that they really enjoyed the piece of content.

An English-speaking viewer said: “I have no clue what she is saying but I know Ukrainians are the bravest people on Earth!”
Another added: “What a time to be alive… learning how to drive a tank through TikTok. Never thought I’d see the day.”
“Okay, TikTok has taught me many things but never thought I’d learn to drive a tank in 60 seconds. LOVE-N-LIGHT,” a third commented.
A fourth pitched in, writing: “I don’t know what she’s saying but I love it.”
“Wartime TikTok is a very wild place,” another remarked.
Tuman, who has over 800k Instagram followers and more than 4.1million TikToker followers, is well-known for her car content and she reportedly works as a mechanic.
