These guys built a GRU-style, jet-based vehicle and we’re not sure what to think.
In fact, we’re not even sure what we’re looking at.
The only thing we know is it reminds of the vehicle that GRU, the ‘baddy’ from the Despicable Me movie, uses.

At the front, if you can call it that, you’ve got something that looks like a turbine, the sort of thing you expect to find attached to the Airbus 380 that’ll take you on holiday this summer.
At the back, you’ve got the other bit of the turbine, the one you don’t really see because it’s usually hidden inside the bowels of the vehicle.
Except, in this case, this is the vehicle.
On top of the vehicle, right between the front and rear section, is the cockpit.
Crucially, right beneath the vehicle, you’ve got little wheels.
Based on what we’re seeing, it looks like the turbine is providing power and the wheels are providing motion.
It doesn’t look like this jet is capable of achieving mind-blowing speeds.
But it certainly looks exciting.
People took the comments and they’re unsurprisingly every bit as confused as they’re intrigued.
“My question is, where the hell did they get a Boeing 777 engine?” one user asked.
“Bro thinks he’s gru,” another wrote, a reference to the Despicable Me character we mentioned earlier.
And then our personal favoirte. “I want to pull up to prom in this thing even if it means I am going alone,” a third user said. Can’t argue with that.
