Could they trouble the Russian invaders?
assisted in bringing down Russian helicopters, while U.S.-supplied Switchblade drones helped take out tanks.
However, in addition to the weapons, the ingenuity of Ukrainians has also helped them push back against the Russian offense. Whether it is the use of previously reported, Ukraine has thrown everything it can at the invaders. The latest revelation shows an unspecified group of Ukrainian soldiers and no more than six people involved.
The bike's origins can be traced back to the 1940s, when the former Soviet Union licensed its designs from the German company, BMW. Over decades, the design received upgrades and was manufactured at the Kyiv Motorcycle Plant and also made available as Cossack motorcycles in the U.K. However, with the fall of the Soviet Union, production dropped and what can be seen in the images above are remnants of that history.
The anti-tank guided missile system is actually a Russian weapon called the Metis-M anti-tank missile system that was developed shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union. It is a wire-guided system called the 9K115, which is an upgraded version of the 9K111 missile system that is used even today. The 9K115 uses a semi-automated command to line of sight method to guide the 9M115 missile, providing electronic instructions to the latter throughout its flight path.
So, the two-man team is basically meant to approach the target, set up the anti-tank missile system, fire, and then scoot away from the location. A motorcycle makes a great runaway vehicle when your weapon is also this small. Even with the sidecar, it can be used prior to the attack and placed strategically for a quick escape.
