46th Airmobile Brigade

The United Kingdom offered the Ukrainian government training on British soil for Ukrainian recruits, and the 46th Air Assault Brigade was one of the selected brigades.[3] Fresh Western supplies, like as Wolfhound MRAPs and Husky TSV tactical vehicles, were also delivered to the brigade.[3] The Brigade was converted from a heavy assault brigade to a light assault brigade.[4] The 46th Airmobile Brigade took part in the Kherson operation after arriving from the United Kingdom.[4] The Brigade no longer uses equipment built in the Soviet Union or Ukraine, such as BTR-3s, BMP-1s, or T-80s.[5]

The Brigade from Poltava was dubbed the 46th Airmobile Brigade.[5] The unit also got a new emblem.[1]

The unit has been an integral part of the defense in Bakhmut and in Soledar, both of which have been the site of some of the most intense fighting in the war.[6][7]
