Training of Motorcycle Riders for New Rifle Companies Starts in the National Guard

The National Guard of Ukraine has formed motorcycle rifle companies within each brigade.

NGU commander Oleksandr Pivnenko announced this at the Digital Defense Forum, RBC-Ukraine reports.

According to him, the introduction of the new units took a long time because it required technical and personnel training.

All motorcycles for the NGU are supplied from China in disassembled form, so they must be assembled and undergo a full technical inspection before use.

Pivnenko noted that the motorcycle companies have already been assigned to the brigades and are ready to perform their tasks.

Training courses for motorcyclists have been set up at the NGU training centers to teach them how to operate equipment and act in combat conditions.

World champions in motocross have been recruited as instructors to train the military in new maneuvering tactics.

Russian troops are actively using motorcycles at the front, in particular for assault groups and quick breakthroughs.

In the spring, the enemy launched an attack with up to 40 motorcycles in one of the areas, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces successfully repelled the attempt.

Ukrainian drone operators destroyed 18 Russian motorcyclists near Kramatorsk, thwarting their breakthrough.

In the Pokrovsk sector, Ukrainian troops repelled one of the largest motorized assaults of the Russian Federation, which lasted more than seven hours and resulted in significant enemy losses.

In the Toretsk sector, Ukrainian drones thwarted another Russian motorcycle attack and destroyed enemy vehicles.

The Russian Kalashnikov Company has recently introduced the Izh-Enduro, an electric motorcycle with a trailer.
