When one listens, reads and sees in the media generalists and diverse channels of dissemination, the strategic decisions that both Russia and Ukraine have taken in recent times, does not know whether to laugh or start crying directly. Because apparently, according to this information, the war could be decided based on how efficient the bike assault companies that have formed both countries to make incursions after the enemy lines.
Ukraine already operates with motorcycles in the war against Russia
We do not know if anyone will remember the news that we publish recently under the title “Motorcycles against drones in Ukraine: these motorcycles are not in a race, but in the middle of the battlefield.” In it we detailed how the Russian army has been using offroad motorcycles for months to carry out some of the attacks that it has perpetrated against enemy lines, seeking, it seems, “Increase your speed and maneuverability” On the battlefield.
As it seems, it is now Ukraine that has chosen to use this same defense operating system. Integrated into the 425. º Separate Assault Regimentand as already happens with Russian specialized teams, this operation is created to act “In deep penetration missions and incursions after enemy lines.”as detail from Moto It.
To do this, at the controls of an offroad motorcycle, with two soldiers aboard each of them and both equipped with AKS-74U assault rifles, complete formations operate with the intention that the rival fails to focus their attack on individual objectives. Once they manage to reach the enemy ranks, they jump from the motorcycle and advance shooting on foot, in addition to providing a recognition coverage to the rest of their battalion components.
The motorcycle model they use for these missions is the Fort Cross 300 (XSR 300), an enduro mount made in China and marketed in Ukraine for some years. It highlights its mechanical simplicity and good setting to face steep lands.
Its 300 cc monocylindrical engine, air -fed -powered, manages to offer 19 CV of power. It also helps the suspension route and a good seat height, with up to 850 mm from the base of the seat to the ground.
