Video: Russia’s version of the AA doesn’t mess around…

What do you do when a large 40-foot truck gets stuck in the snow in Russia? You call in a tank, of course…

In this video, we see a Russian police officer directing traffic on a fairly large, snow covered intersection. We’ll admit that we were expecting to see a pretty brutal crash, considering it is a ‘Russian dash-cam video’, but happened next was a tad surprising.

Now, while we were a tad taken aback by this footage featuring a tank pulling a broken down lorry, we have a feeling that it’s probably a regular occurrence in Russia.

It’s a bit like seeing a cow in a car in Ireland.
