For the first time in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a combat assault motorcycle company has been established, marking an important step in the development of troop tactical capabilities for rapid and effective breakthroughs to enemy positions
This historic event signaled a new phase in the training of Ukrainian military personnel — now they possess modern "cavalry" capable of operating in unexpected conditions and quickly changing tactics in combat. According to sources, including the "Military" portal, the unit joined the 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skala," which received this innovation at the end of last year. Over several months, servicemen underwent intensive training, which included hundreds of hours behind the handlebars, moving and shooting in motion, and practicing complex tactical scenarios. The command notes that their fighters fired thousands of rounds, demonstrating a high level of skill and readiness to operate in real combat situations. The main function of this company is to break through — swift, precise, capable of overcoming enemy defenses and delivering rapid assault strikes. They must be mobile, able to quickly change their attack direction, and operate effectively in challenging conditions, particularly in urban and forested areas where speed and surprise can turn the tide of battle. As part of the publication, a video was released showing soldiers with the new equipment demonstrating their training. The footage depicts fighters moving in packs — two on one motorcycle. One rider controls the vehicle, while the other acts as a gunner. This format allows for quick appearances and disappearances from the enemy’s sight, enabling surprise attacks. According to analysts and military experts, the tactic of using motorcycles in combat is not new for Russian forces. Over the past year, they have been actively employing motorcycle assaults, which are gradually being refined. For example, in April of this year, it became known that Russian troops carried out an unsuccessful offensive operation near Velyka Novosilka in Donetsk region, involving up to 41 motorcycles. This indicates that such tactics have become widespread and continue to develop, becoming more effective over time. It is important to note that Ukrainian military personnel are responding to these challenges by implementing new technologies and tactics to maintain an advantage in modern combat. The first motorcycle assault company in the Ukrainian Armed Forces has become a vivid symbol of innovative approaches, demonstrating the ability to adapt quickly and operate in the most difficult conditions of the war. This new form and strategy provide the Ukrainian army with competitive advantages and all the prospects for success in future combat operations.
