Russian military vehicles that look like Batmobiles

The ZiL Karatel beasts has been branded "The Punisher" by Russian special forces insiders – and is something Bruce Wayne would be proud of.

Up to 10 army personnel can comfortably fit in inside and its cutting-edge armour can comfortably deal with explosions and projectiles.

It is fitted with Class 6a armour and has openings for fire arms in the sides and rear doors, according to Russian media.

The vehicles were a big hit with Putin – who is good friends with Hollywood hardman Steven Segal – as he was guided around the new vehicles by Alexander Bortnikov, director of the country's Federal Security Service.

Putin, 63, praised the efforts of his armed forces in dealing with terrorist threats on home soil, RT reported.

Russia has been battering targets Islamic State targets in Syria – wiping out nearly 2,000 targets a week. 

And the leader could potentially save the world if Moscow adapts its nuclear weapons to blast asteroids away from Earth.
