    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.

    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.

    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.

      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...

    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.
    I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion.
    I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written.
    Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.

    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.

    History check.
    At the beginning of the WW2, each of the 29 mechanized corps of the Red Army had its own motorcycle regiment, armed even with mortars. It sounds menacing, but in fact they were just beginning to form and consisted of L-8, Izh-9 and AM-600 equipment. And the shortage of equipment reached 80%.
    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.
