The corresponding video was published by the Telegram channel “russia no context”.
The video shows a trapezoidal safety net installed on the rear bumper of the motorcycle, which is supposed to protect the rider’s back from the impact of the drone.
It is worth noting that in the case of cars and armored vehicles, such protection can be effective and save the crew even if the warhead of the drone is activated. However, in the case of a motorcycle, if an explosive drone enters the net, the rider is almost guaranteed to be hit by shrapnel or a shock wave.
Around mid-spring, the Russians began to actively use motorcycles for movement between positions, assault, evacuation, and logistical operations.
Extremely mobile and maneuverable motorcycles allow Russian infantry to move quickly on roads and rough terrain. However, speed does not help to avoid Ukrainian FPV drones that target motorcycles and defenseless riders.

The Russians are regularly equipping vehicles and armored personnel carriers with massive cages that they hope will protect the combat vehicles during offensive operations.
Recently, it was reported that the Russians showed off the Z-STS Achmat armored vehicle equipped with “Tsar’s barbecue” for combating drones.
The video shows an armored car with its top, back, front and sides completely covered in netting. The structure has only one entrance, a door at the back of the structure. So, the only way to get in and out of the “bars” is to go through the door or crawl under the structure.
Such a design greatly increases the chance of an armored personnel carrier’s survival in a kamikaze attack, but it also greatly complicates and slows down the embarkation and disembarkation of troops and crew – which can cost lives.
