About Unit

28th Mechanized Brigade is a mechanized brigade of Ukrainian Armed Forces. It’s a successor of Soviet 28th Guards Motorized Rifle Division, which was reformed as 28th Mechanized Division under the Ukrainian Army. During the War in Donbas, a BTG element was formed and deployed to the border area near Izvarine. In August 2014, the element reinforced Ukrainian defense west of Donetsk and participated in the battle of Donetsk Airport. At the begging of Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022, the brigade was deployed to Odesa and foiled Russian ambitious landing at Kobleve.
