Russian army develops motorcycle assault units to carry out lightning attacks on the front lines 6park.com
Ukrainian military analysts and those of its Western allies have noted the leap forward that has taken place with these vehicles since last April in the Russian army. Videos broadcast by Russian media and online military accounts show a large fleet of motorcycles at regimental bases such as the 123rd Motorized Rifle Brigade in Donetsk or the 71st Motorized Rifle Regiment on the Zaporizhzhia front. In the latter case, images released by its personnel show motorcycles on which metal cages have been installed to protect the crew members from drone attacks. Russian soldiers have recommended in recent months via their Telegram accounts that electric motorcycles be used, because they are silent and are harder for drones with thermal night vision to detect. 6park.com
“Motorcycles are a good tactic because they are harder for drones to intercept, they are less noisy and faster than armored vehicles or SUVs,” says Andrii. “The Russians are using them in large numbers and they are getting better.” In another sector of the Donetsk front, in Kostiantynivka, a sergeant with the 93rd Mechanized Brigade confirmed the tactical change to EL PAÍS on June 8: “The Russians have everything for infantry transport, and now they have motorcycles. These are the worst, because they are difficult to detect and our men cannot identify what that distant noise is.” 6park.com
