How did the Iranian army use motorcycles as anti-tank weapons in the Iran-Iraq war?

In ancient China, there was a folk song:? A foot of cloth can be sewn; A bucket of millet, it's still spring, and the two brothers are incompatible. ? There are indeed countless cases in history in which two brothers killed each other in order to seize land, property and throne.

1September 1980 to1August 20, 1988, Iran and Iraq, two countries that are my brothers, were invaded and bullied by colonialism and imperialism, turned against each other and went to war.

In order to give each other a devastating blow, both sides tried their best. Iran exchanged American oil for a large number of the most modern weapons, and Iraq showed no weakness. It handed over a large amount of dollars for developing new oil fields to the Soviet Union and acquired advanced weapons.

Not only that, the two Iraqi troops also tried their best to come up with many tricks to attack each other. It is a strange tactic adopted by Iran to crash a motorcycle into a tank.

Motorcycle, a light vehicle with no protection at all, how can it compete with modern tanks that are difficult to penetrate even ordinary shells? Isn't that an egg hitting a stone?

However, this is a coincidence. The Iranian army used motorcycles as anti-tank weapons and created many strange achievements.

Riding a motorcycle is the most fashionable sport for young people in Iran. Tickets for motorcycle cross-country races are often surprisingly expensive, and many people dream of becoming super motorcycle stars. Young people's hobbies have been taken a fancy to by the Iraqi General Command. They secretly recruited a large number of child soldiers who were only 14 or 15 years old from the society, formed motorcycle light cavalry units, equipped with rocket launchers and anti-tank grenades, and after short-term training, they began to haunt the open desert plains in the war zone and carry out various attacks.

With their wit and courage, the young people in the motorcycle Qingqi unit, driving flexible and fast motorcycles, cooperated with the main forces in desert areas without roads, unexpectedly attacked enemy tanks, ambushed enemy logistics lines and attacked each other's barracks, which played a very good role.

1in the autumn of 1980, the armed conflict between the Iranian army and the Iraqi army in the border area developed into a large-scale attack by land, sea and air. Especially on land, the armies of both sides launched a fierce battle for the fortress.

Iranian troops launched a fierce attack on Iraqi defenders in the west of Disfuer, the central battlefield. The Iranian army's strong ground firepower and rapid air strikes forced the Iraqi defenders to retreat hurriedly.

One morning, the sky on the horizon was just a little white, and tanks came in the distance, and the rumble of motors broke the silence in the morning. An Iraqi tank division is rapidly retreating from the front line. After a night's March, all the tank soldiers were exhausted. When they came to a small river, they looked at the clear water. They can't drive tanks anymore. They stopped and climbed out of the tank mine. Some go to the river to wash their faces and drink water, some sit by the river to eat and smoke, and some simply lie down and fall asleep.

Suddenly, on the other side of the river, hundreds of motorcycles appeared and rumbled across the river. Iraqi tank soldiers were scared silly and panicked by this sudden arrival of magical troops. The weapons in their hands are useless at all, and the whole army is in a mess. The one with long legs ran to the tank. As soon as he entered the tank, the one with short legs was knocked down by a motorcycle and crushed to death by the river.

When the Iraqi tank forces had not fully reacted to what had happened, hundreds of motorcycles sped behind them. The motorcycle rushed into the tank group at full speed, and the young Iranian soldiers on board rammed the tank with rocket launchers, anti-tank grenades and burning grenades. With the loud noise, tanks and armored vehicles emitted thick black smoke. .....

Iraqi armored forces are very nervous about Iran's unpredictable motorcycle light brigade, so they have to write down the attacks on motorcycle teams and related precautions in the operational diaries of commanders at all levels and issue them in various operational orders.
