Tanks For Nothing, Buddy

Some Ice With Your Vodka, Soldier?

Did anyone breath-test him? An apparently drunk Russian tank driver rammed his 25-tonne fighting machine into a remote village cottage while on a vodka run. 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 bottles, then rammed a fence and a house while attempting to leave. One of the explanations from the army was that the tank skidded on ice.

FOOTNOTE: Lousy act, but he brought the house down.
