Motorcycle platoons have appeared in the Russian army to deliver personnel and ammunition to the front line. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense.
The creation of these mechanized units is due to the high mobility and low visibility of motorcycle equipment. On motorcycles, soldiers deliver food, water, communications equipment and ammunition.
More maneuvers, lots of "postcards". The assault troops, while they are moving, will already be "taken apart" by this time, and we travel at high speeds in a matter of minutes. Mortars are trying to catch us. They track our routes, but we are constantly changing them.
Motorcycle equipment also allows for safer and faster rotation of personnel, evacuation of the wounded and transportation of assault units to perform combat missions.
The high speed and maneuverability of the motorcycle favorably distinguish it from the quad bike - highly passable and load-bearing, but slow and bulky in wooded areas, the Ministry of Defense noted.
In addition, motorcycles win among other military equipment due to their narrow wheels, which reduce the risk of running over a mine and pass well off-road, unlike cars.
