RF storms inadvertently moved to motorcycles: paratroopers did not appreciate creative - Forbes (video)

The pace of production of the new in combination with the removal of long -term storage of old equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation does not agree with the monthly loss of more than 600 tanks, APC and BMP. Forbes writes about it. In the first months of this year, Russian troops were storming in trucks and open golf.

However, the number of unprotected or minimally protected vehicles in the Russian army does not mean that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation cannot win confrontation with Ukrainian brigades that lack ammunition and personnel. Such a reverse evolution of Russian vehicles emphasizes one of the most serious problems that officials in Moscow said, had to disappear with the Russian victory.

"Although Russia remains a serious threat to the battlefield, its ability to replace lost armored vehicles is limited," said representatives of the Ukrainian Frontelligence Insight Fronetelligence Group. Army has been using motorcycles on the battlefield for over a century, that is, since then, as motorcycles, in fact, have appeared. A fast, shunting and inexpensive motorcycle is an effective remedy for a scout or courier to move quickly on the battlefield.

For the fact that motorcycles are replaced by road transport, some units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have to pay the road price. About April 15, the 92nd assault brigade of the Armed Forces reflected the attack of Russian motorcycle troops in the Bakhmut area. Three weeks later, the 79th separate airmobile brigade destroyed eight motorcycles and one BMP with an infantry during a Russian assault on Novomikhailivka.

Insight Frontelligence gives one striking example: a Russian motorcycle with a stroller to transport several soldiers. Motorcyclists threw this overloaded transport during the offensive in the Bigorivka area last week. Despite the loss, at least one Russian unit still supports the idea of ​​motorcycles as assault transport. The Russian Battalion of Zorya claims that his motorcycles are faster than heavy armored cars. Moreover, the Russians modernize their military motorcycles, as well as tanks.
