Actually since about a third into this war the Ukrainians were using this tactic very successfully.

Both sides have been using off-road motorbikes, not a new idea. We had cavalry riding motorcycles in WWII in Africa.

But the article is not about Russia
To: MinorityRepublican
“Ukraine’s troops initially balked at the attack method, which the Russians used in suicide assaults to wear down Ukrainian defenses and munitions.”
ROLFMAO! From “cope cages” to motorcycles whatever superior Russian tactic is laughed at for some reason and then adopted in full for some reason.

Modern version of Rat Patrol.

“ But the article is not about Russia”
***********************************
You should tell the writers that:
“The use of motorcycles to carry troops into battle is well-documented in Ukraine. Since early last year, Russian troops have been increasingly seen riding on light vehicles such as ATVs and motorbikes as both a means of transport and a way to attack Ukrainian positions rapidly.”
Just sayin’.

That was my favorite movie back when I was a poor black child.
Apologies to Steve Martin.
