Ukrainian cops gifted BMW 6 Series decked out with national flag and machine gun turret

Ukrainian police in the city of Mykolaiv had a surprise gift deposited at their doorstep in the form of a BMW 6 series which turned up with Ukrainian flags and a machine gun turret.

The sports car was deposited outside the police station in the city, which has seen half of its population leave in just a week due to Russian bombardment.

But, despite that, someone took time out of the war to soup up a posh BMW sports car with Ukrainian flags, emblems and more, and drop it off to the local police.

And they even added what looks like a machine gun turret to the back of the BMW 6 Series convertible, The Daily Star reports.

Underneath the deadly weapon is a blunt message for the Russian invaders.

It reads, in Russian: “Russian warship, go f*** you.”

The machine gun added to the car is, apparently, the NSV machine gun.

Twitter user @Sanpaku1970 wrote: “The NSV is standard on Russian tanks, probably where this came from.

“Makes more sense in a flatbed truck, but perhaps they're goofing off with the mount, before the deluge.”

The car in question is currently worth around £60,000 to buy as new – presumably without guns – according to evo.co.uk.

The local police could very well make use of such a weapon-filled car after nine people were killed by a Russian airstrike yesterday.

The city is near the much-coveted port city of Odessa and has been the latest target of Russian aggression as the invading army attempts to get to the capital city of Kyiv on foot.

Mykolaiv had around 500,000 residents before the invasion, has now lost more than half of its population, according to local reports.

A cancer treatment hospital and an eye clinic were both target by Russia on Saturday, too, although casualties from that attack are as yet unknown.
