There are reports of the Russians using motorcycle-borne infantry in mass recently. The advantages are that they can move rapidly before drone operators can react, and the motorcycles are less likely to detonate mines. The disadvantage is that motorcycles offer no protection from any kind of firepower.

They have been using dirtbikes for a few months. Drones can hit they quite well. The losses are horrendous. Two guys on a bike traveling at 40 miles per hour and loses control… Actually the use of bikes have decreased for a few weeks. Instead the use of electric scooters have increased… you know the kind of "kick bikes with electric motors".

"The disadvantage is that motorcycles offer no protection from any kind of firepower." Putang does not have the slightest problem with that.

Well, now there is a search for new tactics and new techniques to overcome the positional impasse. For a "motorcycle attack" to be successful, powerful suppressive artillery fire and a portable electronic warfare system are required. The Russians have made a new complex "Fumigator" – perhaps this is the solution: But something tells me that this complex also requires an exoskeleton ;-)

They will be quicker than those Chinese Golf Buggies that they have been using.
