Don't Drive Tanks While Drunk
If you're a real friend, you won't let your buddy get behind
the wheel of a tank while he's had too much to drink.
The facts:
Moscow - An apparently drunk Russian tank driver rammed his
25-ton fighting machine into a remote village cottage while on a
vodka run, footage aired on Friday on state television showed.
The soldier was filmed driving the tank, armed with an
anti-aircraft gun, through a tiny street in Oktyabrskaya, in the
Ural mountains' Sverdlovsk region.
He clambered unsteadily into his vehicle with two freshly
purchased bottles, then rammed a fence and a house while
attempting to leave.
"He was drunk," a villager said on Channel One television.
An assistant at the local shop said the soldier had purchased
two bottles of vodka.
Army spokesperson Konstantin Lazutkin promised the military
would pay for repairs.
