Russia's Shift to Light Vehicles in Ukraine Heightens Risks

Moscow increasingly uses ATVs and motorbikes for troop movements and attacks, compromising soldier safety.

Russian forces are using light vehicles like ATVs and motorbikes to conduct operations and move troops to the front lines.
These vehicles offer increased mobility but are more vulnerable to Ukrainian attacks compared to armored vehicles.
British intelligence reports a significant rise in the use of these vehicles since early 2024.
Ukraine has effectively targeted these light vehicles with FPV drones, demonstrating their vulnerability.
The shift has altered the pace and nature of Russian assaults, with smaller, more frequent attacks observed.
