Nothing new. They’ve been using motor bikes and other small off road vehicles to conduct assaults for over a year, at least. I’ve seen several videos of them getting hit by FPVs.

Those lists of Russian losses are having a lot of unarmored jeeps and trucks crashing into the frontlines or getting droned. Tanks seem to be getting even rarer by now.

I think that’s why ground drones are so important now. It’s easy to shoot up motorbikes if you are sitting in the treeline with a medium machinegun, but then you’re worried about getting fpv droned. But a remote control machine gun on a tracked mover doesn’t have to worry.

I think that's the point here... Nothing new. Putin's army is running out of options.

Great, a bigger target for the Ukraine drones to go after

A dude on a bike is harder to hit than a dude on foot...

A motorbike has far less freedom of movement than a human. Far easier to tell where it's going and where it can even go. A human can stop and turn around quickly, dive into a hole, thru a window, etc.

On some sites similar to the former watchmeopledie sublistnook you can see the FPV drones hit easily a speeding motorbike
