Skala motorcyclists carried out a successful night raid on the border in the Kursk sector

The newly formed motorcycle unit of the 425th separate assault regiment Skala took part in offensive operations in the Kursk sector.

The corresponding video was released by the regiment’s press service.

It is reported that such a format of assault operations was used for the first time in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The motorcycle assault troops operated at night using night vision devices.

At high speed, the assault group passed through engineering barriers – dragon’s teeth – crossed the border, broke through to enemy positions, and captured them. Motorcycles also ensured a rapid withdrawal from the occupied positions.

In addition, the unit evacuated the crew of a damaged vehicle using a quad bike and a wounded comrade using a motorcycle.

According to information from a War Archive observer, the assault took place on the Ukrainian-Russian border in the area of the now non-existent village of Novy Put.

The first motorcycle assault company in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The formation of the first motorcycle company in the Armed Forces of Ukraine became known recently, on May 20.

Judging by the published footage, among other tactics, the movement of large swarms of motorcycles was practiced, with two fighters on each: a driver and a gunner.

Both are armed with AK-74U assault rifles, which, according to the plan, should simplify shooting on the move, as well as generally facilitate maneuvering and handling weapons. After dismounting, the driver and shooter act as a pair.

The fighters note that the regiment provided full and high-quality training for its personnel, with no restrictions on fuel or ammunition.

It can be assumed that, by analogy with the Russians, the motorcycles will be assigned specific roles: one may carry radio-electronic countermeasures, while another may tow stretchers for the wounded or ammunition.

The main task of such motorcycle units is to quickly capture positions by rapidly breaking through open terrain, minimizing the time needed for the enemy to detect and respond with fire.
