There's also this Ukrainian report on the matter but it's in Ukrainian, so I'm sharing the Mastodon post in English.

I mean, probably it is near the top of shittiest in terms of cost and combat and logistical effectiveness...

But not on the pure aesthetics of utterly cobbled together garbage from a homeless shelter metric.

It can still get worse:

Doesn't have a cope cage yet. Is not rusted from ambient humidity or rain yet. Panels seem to be flush, that'll likely change fairly quickly. Random bits of it have not yet flown off at highway speeds yet.

Finally, the funniest possible things that could happen:

Ukraine hacks the thing remotely and autopilots it, empty, to crash into a jet at a nearby airfield, or a known location with a ballistic missile inbound, or just drives it off a cliff, etc.
