A more feasible bike in a war would be the Mortar-cycle from Red Alert 3: Uprising. Still need to keep it still in order to shoot!

I suspect that this scooter merely transports the rider and his shoulder-fired missile. This would be consistent with possible civilian defense antitank applications discussed when the USSR was invading its allies (like the Czechs) to quell self-determination.
