They dont serve the same purpose as cavalry did in the past, that's why tanks are the one called cavalery.

Motorcycle Cavalry actually makes sense. Ukraine won't waste too many drones on a motorcycle like they would a tank, meanwhile you have the speed of mechanized infantry as well as having the ability to disperse the platoon under fire. Light armor can also be added if necessary to protect against machine guns. All in all, it's a good, albeit unconventional tactic.
a buggy is better than a motorcycle.
Excellent tactic to fight against drones. But they must keep evolving to keep ahead of the ukraines.
What tanks?
It also works because the Ukrainians dont have enough infantry to cover their fronts and rely on firepower/drones to cover the gaps. The motorcycles flush those gaps very quickly and overwhelm the remaining defenses.
"overhelm" like z army didn't already fail so many times when invading ukraine and says they will defeat them in 3 days? laughable

@@31mAyMgaYanga That argument is so "obsolete". I mean U.S also wasted trillions of dollars just to defeat those dudes with sandals and AK's and yet nothing has gained...
Not really. Just like the video said. Russians overwhelmed them with artillery and mortars before sending infantryman.
@@31mAyMgaYanga you're recycling the same old 2022 propaganda
Underestimating your enemy is one of the cardinal sins of Warfare.
Motorcycles are cheap, useful, and plentiful. That’s why they’re using them. Motorcycles have been used in war since the beginning of the bicycle.
These articles are for rich Westerners to keep sending their money.
Motorcycles are easy to replace, men aren't. This works because Ukraine doesn't have airpower and lacks enough artillery. It's an interesting move by Russia, but it wouldn't work against a capable military.
Truly a White Scars moment for the Russians. Glad to see Warhammer 40,000 teaching them tactics

umm ya Russia is known to be a propaganda free country? btw nato is not at war lol so hard to make gains in a war your not fighting in?
As a biker, few things to add here.
-250cc makes sense as they have ample power. If we use kawasaki kx250 as an example it makes about 40bhp and weighs around 110kg, thus making great weight to power ratios. A 150cc motocross can also fulfill same functions as the terrain won't allow these bikes to cross 80kph plus the cost for smaller 150cc will be less.
- 150/250 singles are easier to service and can take considerable abuse. However these bikes usually have about 2 to 3k engine head service cycles, but what I gathered from Alex's description of operations, they don't clock 100s of kms per mission. So each motorcycle can perform about 75 missions with 40km return journey before major head rebuild is required.
- Brands such as KTM or Yamaha should be avoided, it's better to opt for Chinese motocross motorcycles as they are considerably cheaper. 150cc motocross would be cheaper compared to 250s.
- Instead of parking their bikes on side stands, they can be laid on the ground and covered with camouflage net. As these bikes are light and can be lifted easily. However this might add more time if soldier needs to escape from position fast. But a camouflage paint scheme should help.
I am no expert on battle tactics, but I can clearly see it would be in Russian interest to formalise such motorcycle units and source these bikes from China on a large scale. Because Ukrainians will be employing same tactics soon enough.
Well maybe, but what men will these hypothetical Ukrainian motorcycle units be using?
I think they should avoid chinese motorbike at all cost, maybe chinese motorbike are cheaper but what is really important here is the reliability and chinese motorbike are not reliable.
@@jean-pierredecouvreur9500 well that thought did crossed my mind but then I remembered Ukrainian commands ability to sacrifice their dwindling manpower on useless missions. So it can't be ruled out completely.
@@michaelcloutier2447 No I disagree, these bikes are extremely simple mechanically speaking plus they are already being widely used ib the conflict. Russians are more then capable of making them reliable enough.
@@michaelcloutier2447They are no less reliable than western bikes.

Welcome back Mongol Empire
I mean, you're not wrong.
Since, out of many ethnicity Mongols are one of them that inhabiting certain parts of russian far east and also, their cavalry is one of the best since the Khan era.
Not sure if they'd be as welcoming as you.
*enthusiastic throat singing INTENSIFIES*
as a Russian, I can say that we are very similar to the Mongols: we have a lot of territory, we have a lot of horses, and we are strong in spirit
@@Verticbro But Im whiter than any "western european native" cuck boy
The biggest advantage of motorcycles is their weight... if the soldiers attacked on foot, they had to move in tree lines, which are mined with anti-personnel mines. Armored attacks are conducted on fields where there are anti-tank mines... Motorcycles and buggies have a huge advantage here that they are too light to activate anti-tank mines, and at the same time fast enough not to be detected in time in open fields.
I can only think Russians running on the batllefield screaming: "WITNESS-MEEEEEE, WITNEEEESSSS!!!"
WITNESSSS!!!!!!
MEDIOCRE IVAN!
On motorcycles you can very quickly reach enemy trenches and quickly occupy them. The enemy won't even have time to raise the drones. Motorcycles have shown themselves well in the Zaporozhye direction, where there are long distances and you need to move quickly and unnoticed.
probably hhhhhhhuuuuuuraaaaaaaaa
@@Maratreason Right? And with Russians using more and more "small teams tactict" the motorbikes play a crucial role...
Motobike is a substantial improvement compared to shovel.
"The three most powerful warriors are time, patience and a shovel" Leo Tolstoy.
small correction, but at 5:06, the guy doesn't say 'move faster, maneuver like a cop (kak kop)'. the actual phrase is 'move faster, maneuver to the [enemy] trenches (k okopam)'.

All powerfull army have bikes, it's especialy usefull for military Special Force that aim to fight behind the frontline.
as far as i know, Pakistan and Malaysia (latest is russia) have spec ops who use bikes with anti-aircraft/anti-tank weapons for shoot and run operation. i didnt know the US have that one too. For Ukraine, i dont know if they have this kind of unit. Please tell me if im wrong.
in Africa we have toyotas wreaking havoc even on tank formations because they are versatile, fast, and cheap, and now people are surprised that motorcycles are doing something similar.
Only because lack of proper tactics and command. Motorcycles will be teared apart by apc's, but ucranians lack command and vehicles to do.
Western countries left your land decades ago, still your people fighting. 😂
@@xKeraix "Motorcycles will be teared apart by apc's" not really, APC are spotted from the Moon by drones, easy to hit, very cheap to destroy them, you ignore the reality of this war, with thousands of drones 24/7 over each sector of the front.
Are you aware the russians deliver now 4000 (!!!) drones PER DAY ?? And the plan to increase the production to 40k ?
@@xKeraix Actually they have quite the amount of APCs and IFVs like the Bradley M2(over 300), so I don't think this argument is very valid, also Ukrainians have been fighting this war for over 2 years now. they most likely still have incompetent commanders but I doubt "lack of tactics" is a good argument for the success of Motorcycles after all no commander wants to be sacked or killed so of course they would at least try to improve. Forgive me if I am wrong, but It feels as if you are severely underestimating both sides in this war.
Toyota cheap? Damn, I'd love to live in your world
Motorbike squadrons are a real menace particularly in tough terrains.
You cant get a tank or a ifv through a mountain or forrest easily.
Their fast and versatile so quick replacement of fallen troops and replenishment of ammo.
Plus their not easy to hit. Fast and small
and even if you hit, you only get 1-2 soldiers/50-100kgs of supplies. You would need to hit 3-6 Motorcycles to get to a target value of a Van and like 20 to get to the target value of a whole truck. While hitting the target is way harder.
India has some of the largest motorbike brands in the world, their presence is strong in Africa.

War went from line fighting to trench warfare to mobile warfare and then to a mix of All
Check out The Forever Winter, it's trench warfare with robots, drones, mecha and cyborgs. Sh*t's wild.
During the WW2 the Russian Army had their own motorcycle brigades.
The M-72 was equipped with an air-cooled opposed engine with a displacement of 745.42 cm³ and a power of 22 hp at 4600 rpm. Cylinder diameter is 78 mm. Compression ratio is 5.5. Piston stroke is 78 mm. Ground clearance is 135 mm. Weight is 380 kg.
The motorcycle was equipped with 6-volt electrical equipment and a G-11 generator, 45 W. Fuel capacity is 22 l. Fuel consumption is 7 l/100 km. Maximum speed is 85 km/h. At that time, it was a very progressive and modern motorcycle, the design of which and the layout scheme lived on the conveyors of different factories for almost 80 years! And in the same Irbit, special replicas of the legendary M-72 are still produced under the Ural brand...
Honestly really creative innovation. Fast ,cheap and most important hard to hit by fpv drones. The only flaw is that motorbikes dont offer a protection against artillery but they are harder to spot so they are useful for now
Being fast is their advantage like light cavalries.
Artillery would be a problem under extreme bombardment however as of right now Ukraine is rationing their artillery shells due to shortages
@@buglerplayz7497 exactly why this tactic is limited to the current conditions on the frontlines. Maybe in a year the whole idea will be abandoned because of something else changing, maybe not
Russia has shown the world, in many ways, that to fight modern wars you need to adapt, and use anything that favors your plans.
War, despite the casualties, advances technologically to levels not seen in peacetime. The very thought of using "dirt bikes" to replace horses and booby-trap pagers reveals the ingenuity of man in combat. Necessity is definitely the mother of invention.
Brits saw that cavalry was becoming obsolete in the Crimean war ! The charge of the light brigade shows how their elite was halfed (not decemated) in hours
You're forgetting bulk purchase. When you buy 1 bike you pay $2500usd, when you buy 2000 you pay much less.
Finally some actual facts. Not just propaganda
Another benefit of motorbikes is that they aren't heavy enough to trigger anti-tank mines.
in days of old when knights were bold, they dropped their load in the middle of the road and walked away contented.
I honestly don’t know why militaries aren’t using 300 2 strokes to get around! You can cover huge amounts of terrains, all kinds of terrain with enduro bikes!
2 strokes are pretty loud, if I am not mistaken everybody is looking at the electric bikes for recon thought
And mow the lawns at the same time.

Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time
Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021: Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO.
NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P.
The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.

Assuming that they carry enough firepower with them to be useful, I can see how they're making a comeback.
They're more like a motorized dragoon unit rather than specifically cavalry. They're shoot and scoot, or ride and dismount to fight rather than fighting from "horseback", as it were.
These work better as a QRF than traditional armored or aerial QRF.
The only downside i see is lack of heavy weaponry
A comeback😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@Asian_Jesus. The heavy weaponry stands behind with a firing range of several up to dozens of KM.

@@Asian_Jesus.
If they can carry good enough anti-tank or anti-air missile launchers, they'd be very good in a hit and run role.
If they're purely mounted infantry, then at least they can carry more ammo and get that infantry to where they're needed faster.
Overall, motorcycle dragoons are a good idea in this case.
Lmao the “THEN WHO ARE THE ORCS?!” Line got me dead 😂😂😂😂
Got tired working and was planning to sleep, tough luck
As I've been saying for now years. With Technicals we're seeing the modern resurgence of "light cavalry" tactics. (Yes it's not traditional light cavalry and more mounted infantry but the overall idea is the same when you compare to heavier armored transports and tanks)
Faster moving lower cost high speed infantry with weapons just effective enough as well as drones and other artillery style support that their speed makes them a threat. It can't challenge US dominance, but EU-NATO and most other nations this overall approach to warfare isn't something they have a good answer for, heck even the US doesn't have a good answer for it outside the US's overwhelming airpower and the endurance of their forces.

Drone recon as support for motorcycle troops is genius... The drones field of vision ensures that the bike rider is fully focused on speed and manoeuvreing the field of battle. Also Bikes ain't horses, there is no need for breeding them.
And the maintenance is less frequent
That's the point: there is no gunfire. Those movemenst are made in areas which are not around some bunkers with machine guns or whatever, but drone and artillery coverage, where speed and spread runs surpreme.

The one thing you also get with a bike dismount instead of an APC is situational awareness. It's easier to orient yourself if you're the one driving there and looking at the terrain the entire time instead of just sitting in a often closed space and just jumping out having to orient yourself were everything is.

welcome back cavalry charge
Кавалерия - это ударная сила.
Эти мотоциклы - способ добраться до точки.
Born in 1941.
The M-72 Russian motorcycle was equipped with an air-cooled opposed engine with a displacement of 745.42 cm³ and a power of 22 hp at 4600 rpm. Cylinder diameter is 78 mm. Compression ratio is 5.5. Piston stroke is 78 mm. Ground clearance is 135 mm. Weight is 380 kg.
The motorcycle was equipped with 6-volt electrical equipment and a G-11 generator, 45 W. Fuel capacity is 22 l. Fuel consumption is 7 l/100 km. Maximum speed is 85 km/h. At that time, it was a very progressive and modern motorcycle, the design of which and the layout scheme lived on the conveyors of different factories for almost 80 years! And in the same Irbit, special replicas of the legendary M-72 are still produced under the Ural brand.

Did you notice there are no pictures of camouflaged motorbikes?...exactly...
Sounds like a Monty Python skit. "I didn't know shrubbery could hop from place to place like that", "What, shrubbery doesn't HOP..."
Like purple boiz
Portuguese here. Although this might sound like a "novelty". The fact remain that when I served on the Portuguese airborne troops, more than 30 years ago.
I clearly recall both motorcycles and dune buggies (both air cooled) being part of the regular equipment. I reiterate that was more than 3 decades ago. And both were years old equipment. That leads me to say that the "novelty" argument is not accurate. ;-)
Assault squads on motorcycles are as significant a discovery as drone attacks.
A fast-moving, dispersed formation that nullifies the impact of high-precision smart weapons.
Moreover, the more expensive your weapon is, the less effective it will be against such targets.
Imagine they start using KTM divisions 💀
a buggy is better than a motorcycle.

Aaaahh...bikes. Equally used extensively during our Boko Haram crisis here in Northern Nigeria by the terror group. They were quite effective that even our Nigerian Army had to adopt mountain bikes against this foe.

Germany: You can't win a war against Russia.
zelensky: Why?
Germany: Because we already tried and it didn't end well for us.
The other beauty of using commercial motorcycles is that spares are easy to get hold of and infield maintenance is very practical. This also applies to off-road quadbikes.

Certainly. I do want you to work faster, after all.
Nod in CnC also rocket bike and buggies fit right here
If you have 30 bikers and 5 enemy drones in the air, you can do the math.
One of the main purpose of these cavalry squads is to deploy soldiers along paths and forest row in order to monitor, protect the passage of Russian vehicles,IFV,Tanks..etc.. and to deploy anti drone equipment, ATGM/ sniper teams.
Yes, and in open terrain nearly at the speed of helicopter insertion. Without a radar cross section announcing the event directly to HQ
Another solution would be lightweight bikes that can fold down and be easily hidden or carried. Electric bikes with removable parts would be an example. You could remove the parts and have them carried or hidden in woods.

Whoever is winning aside. Do you actualy support Russia?
This is actually WW2 German tactics. They often used motorcycles to get behind Soviet positions. Sidecars with machine guns were commonly attached. Lately, various US special forces use electric dirt bikes to move quickly behind enemy lines. Electric bikes are silent and produce a lower heat signature.
Isnt it how battle works..Survive Adapt overcome
Not to mention the extensive use of bikes on both sides in WW2. Arguably Harley Davidson's greatest moment.

In a war where the frontline is so massive and has limited movement, motorized infantry like squads or platoons with literal dirt bikes can be a pretty big deal. There's lots of artillery and drones in this conflict so mobility is key. I think it's a pretty good solution.

This reminds me of the 1986 Chuck Norris movie "The Delta Force" with all the fighting motorcycles.
Glad to see someone remembers that gem. o7
They dismount, and therefore are Dragoons. BTW, the 1982 action movie, Mega Force predicted this combination of technicals as dragoons in modern warfare.

Even WWII used them as paratroopers had some scooters that were air dropped into the area (Cushman Airborne Scooter). Don't forget the Vespa with the mounted guns. :P

when people often think mortor cycles they think of they are very loud, but making them loud is a modification. they can be just as quite as a car.
For short distances, I would resort to electric ones... Conquer the position, front advances, recharge and repeat.
