Russian troops use motorcycles in assault

Soldiers have released a video that shows rapid assault groups mounted on motorcycles swiftly advancing toward Ukrainian positions, following artillery bombardment of trenches.

This maneuver highlighted Russia’s adaptation to the challenges posed by the constant threat from Ukrainian FPV drones. Previously, they used lightweight vehicles or buggies and even turbocharged versions of golf carts.

“This is a super relevant use of motorcycles. Like never before. For assault, it’s cooler than any vehicle,” stated Nikolay Dolgachyov, a journalist and propagandist correspondent for the “Russia-1” television channel.

Now in the third year of full-scale Russian invasion, FPV drones have become ubiquitous on the battlefield. Many of these drones are capable of carrying several kilograms of explosives.

According to NATO sources cited by Foreign Policy, over two-thirds of Russian tanks destroyed by Ukrainian forces in recent months have been targeted with the assistance of FPV suicide drones.

  1. “This is a super relevant use of motorcycles. Like never before. For assault, it’s cooler than any vehicle,”

    Yeah! The protection is second to none, and these bikes will plow through the mud in the upcoming mud season. Is this desperation, or what? I have no idea WTF these bikes are, maybe Facts can recognise them, but they are certainly not from this century.

    • The bikes in the video are impossible to identify. I also cannot classify those two in the image. Although they look much alike, they certainly are two different types of bike, so there’s no uniformity there, and they are older models.

    • It’s a tuned Soviet military bike, made by Ural. Must be from the 60’s. Just 64 years old. Not easy to get spare parts, but easy to get spare riders. 😂

  2. Maybe the next level for roach vehicles will be mountain bikes, then tricycles, and as the ultimate transport vehicle,

    a walker.
