Ukrainian Armed Forces halt Russian motorcycle assault near Kramatorsk. Drone operators eliminate 18 motorcyclists, according to the Khortytsia operational-strategic group.
On the Kramatorsk front, Ukrainian forces delivered a major blow to Russian troops who attempted to break through to frontline positions on motorcycles.
Despite the rapid assault tactics used by the invaders, including the use of motorcycles in dense fog, Ukrainian forces responded swiftly.
A well-executed operation by the 5th Assault Brigade, utilizing drones, led to the elimination of 18 Russian motorcyclists, as well as the destruction of three armored vehicles and two enemy transport vehicles.
Destruction of motorcyclists
Russian forces have recently increased the use of motorcycles on the front line. The plan was to use motorcycles to evade Ukrainian drone attacks.
However, Ukrainian troops have effectively countered enemy forces using this method of transport. Earlier, reports indicated that Ukrainian forces destroyed six Russian motorcycles on the Bakhmut front.
Additionally, since the beginning of 2024, Russia has ramped up the use of light transport vehicles, such as ATVs and high-mobility motorcycles, to transport personnel to the front line and conduct attacks on Ukrainian positions, particularly during night operations.
