Footage has gone viral online showing one of the assault units, which mainly moves on motorcycles. Heavy trucks support the fighters, the cab of which is sheathed with metal sheets to protect the crew from drones.
In the video, you can see that the motorcycles are not equipped with any protection, including a net against drones. It can be assumed that the military personnel mainly use this wheeled equipment for quick movement to positions from the rear areas.
Some Internet users compared the stormtroopers in the video with footage from the famous film franchise "Mad Max", which takes place in a post-apocalyptic world.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Kalashnikov concern continues to test combat special-purpose electric motorcycles in various military units.
