The Ukrainian Defense Forces have successfully repelled an attempt by the Russian army to conduct a motorcycle assault in the Pokrovsk direction.

According to Ukrinform, the Khortytsia operational and strategic grouping of troops reported this in Telegram and posted a video.

“Four Russian attack aircraft on motorcycles are moving towards the positions of Ukrainian defenders. Their advantage is speed, maneuverability and invisibility. And all this could have worked if not for the drones of our marines,” the military noted.

They reported that the attackers tried to enter Ukrainian positions and gain a foothold. However, FPV drones and drops by Ukrainian marines prevented them from doing so.
