As already noted, the only thing the two armies have in common is the motorcycle. How it’s deployed, by whom, and under what circumstances are different. Russia is sending its guys in without proper support across open fields covered with mines. Ukrainian drones are inflicting heavy losses on what’s left. Ukraine doesn’t have the force levels to properly monitor the battle lines, so it’s increasingly relying on pickets of sophisticated AI-enabled reconnaissance drones. For Russia, the motorcycle is a means of conveyance, like an APC, except without the armor. The Ukrainians are using the bikes in strike groups, teaching their soldiers how to fire weapons while riding them like true cavalrymen. That’s the difference. Russia is just sacrificing its stormers trying to advance the lines.
war of attrition or not, it's insane to just make motorcycle/infantry advances without the ability to fire at the same time..good analysis
In modern days the best place for motorcycles in warfare are with special forces units like the SAS and auxiliary AFAIK. With the introduction of quiet electric motorcycles, they have more of a use.
aside from kamikaze motorcycle tactics, it;s getting to be a bitch of an air war.Who said the Russians are sane? Golf carts? Scooters? Hoverboards? Clunker cars right out of Mad Max? Are they doing their Colonel Custer and Crazy Horse impressions on donkeys?

i did. i mentioned on another thread the war is becoming "all in"Did you hear this:
Allies lift Ukraine's restrictions on long-range weapons, says Merz
Western allies are no longer imposing any restrictions on the use of long-range weapons delivered to Ukraine for Kyiv against Russian military targets, the German chancellor said on Monday.
Let the bolded part sink in.
Fascist Russian BS is not even close to the truth.
Seeing as how Dandolo couldnt get his soviet premiers right going so far as to blame a bureaucrat who died in the 70s long before there was even a referendum on this i wouldnt take anything he says to heart. The truth of the matter is no bureaucrat took Ukraine out of the soviet union, Ukraine wasnt even the first SSR to leave the union and every single Oblast in Ukraine voted, including ones in the Crimean and Donbas regions.
Where Putz goes, Dildo follows.
You gave nothing except unfounded claims and other stupid speculations.
Putin did not invade Libya, same western angels did. Putin did not invade Gaza; other western angels did

Our exposure to motorcycle use by Russia consists of video after video of motorcycle attacks where the riders get totally annihilated by FPV drones, artillery or cluster munitions. I have not seen Ukrainians being massacred on motorcycles yet. Do you have a link? Ukraine goes into battle in Bradleys. Russia is out of APC's and you know it. Ukraine must have other ideas for using them since they do not use meat wave tactics where 100's die trying to get a foothold in some god awful village with little more than propaganda value. It is truly disgusting to see a nation that despises it's own enough to line them up for slaughter like Putin is doing. Putin truly is trying to be the reincarnation of Joseph Stalin. It is really spooky. BTW the million + Russians/N. Koreans/ Chinese and Iranians who will certainly die in Ukraine will have died for nothing no matter what the outcome is. Putin will never control all of Ukraine. The cool thing is that you are helping that slaughter along. I guess you agree that the only good Russian is a dead one.
And you are not making sense. In wars the various sides adopt tactics and weapons that have proven themselves successful. If Ukrainians adopted a tactic and weapon it is because they saw with their own eyes the successful use of the weapon and tactic.
