Russia is planning to increasingly utilize motorcycles in its upcoming offensives against Ukraine to counter the effectiveness of Ukrainian drones. A US think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, indicated that training is underway, suggesting the incorporation of motorcycles in combat tactics. Ukrainian military officials highlighted that motorcycles could evade drone tracking due to their speed and require significant drone resources to stop. The operational advantages of motorcycles may enable Russia to execute more mobile and surprising tactical maneuvers on the battlefield later this year.
"Russia is likely preparing to systematically integrate motorcycle usage into offensive operations in Ukraine for Summer and Fall 2025, likely to offset adept Ukrainian drone capabilities."
"Ukrainian Lt. Col. Pavlo Shamshyn stated that motorcycles could benefit Russia because many drones would be needed to stop a group of motorcycles, and motorcycles can move fast and travel a long distance."
