Motorcycle cavalry swarm army position in Burkina Faso
This footage, provided by militants within Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), shows a large group of motorcyle-mounted fighters attacking an Army encampment in Burkina Faso. Like dragoons of old, they approach the position and then dismount to attack. Apart from the motorcycles, old meets new- as it so often does in modern conflict- in the drones which JNIM is using for recon as they approach. This sort of rapid, motorized, ersatz blitzkrieg has been tried before in Ukraine, often with poor results to the riders. With FPV drones and artillery, the Ukrainian army has the means to properly prosecute a large formation of lightly armored troops, even if they're fast moving. Unfortunately, Burkina Faso is not possessed of the same resources, and despite the Burkinabe government claiming significant progress in fighting JNIM, the Islamic militants still have the freedom to maneuver like this.
