Strength Athlete Pulls 45-Ton Lynx Combat Vehicle with His Teeth

Zsolt Sinka, one of Hungary’s best-known strength athletes, pulled a 45-ton Lynx combat vehicle with his mouth after setting multiple Guinness World Records and Elite World Records. First, he pulled an 18-ton truck, then a convoy of six trucks weighing a total of 112 tons, showcasing his extraordinary bite strength.

Zsolt Sinka expresses his passion for combat vehicles in a unique way, as most people want to drive tanks or shoot them, but not tow them with their own strength. However, the strong man nicknamed Popeye secured one end of the tow rope to the Lynx, and gripped the other end with his mouth, and then pulled the Lynx.

When asked, Zsolt said that choosing the Lynx was an obvious decision, as he had already pulled a T-72 tank in 2021 and now wanted to try one of the Hungarian Defense Forces’ new vehicles, as they are always more difficult and require longer preparation.

Tracked vehicles are much harder to pull than a monster rolling on rubber tires because these vehicles have a much larger surface area in contact with the ground. That is why I prepared for this test of strength with longer training sessions. I hope the viewers enjoyed the competition as much as I did,”

said the athlete.

The strongman has new goals in military technology, as after tanks, he has set his sights on a fleet of fixed-wing aircraft. While he did not specify the aircraft model, he plans to begin preparations soon for his next record attempt.
