Forbes: Russian Golf Buggy Attack Near Kupyansk Turns Into Disaster

The occupants are increasingly using Belarusian motorbikes for attacks.

The war in Ukraine continues, and on Monday, July 15, or shortly before, the Russian occupiers carried out a "catastrophic attack" near the town of Kupyansk, Kharkiv region.

The enemy went on the attack driving at least five golf buggies loaded with infantry; the enemy vehicles were blown up by Ukrainian soldiers, "halting the attack and likely inflicting heavy casualties on the Russians," Forbes writes.

"In an attempt to replace destroyed armoured vehicles with new ones - either newly built or removed from long-term storage - the Kremlin is equipping more units with civilian-style vehicles, including Chinese-made Desertcross 1000-3 ATVs, as well as Chinese and Belarusian off-road motorbikes," the article noted.

The journalists noted that enemies mounted on motorbikes and quad bikes have no chance of success against Ukraine's entrenched defenders, who are supported by artillery and drones.

"Strengthening the armour on quad bikes and motorbikes with anti-drone cages does not seem to help much, as the additional armour slows down the already underpowered vehicles, making them more vulnerable to other forms of Ukrainian firepower," the piece stressed.
