50th Artillery Brigade Unveiled

In October 2025, MilitaryLand was the first to report on a new artillery brigade formation in the Ukrainian Ground Forces, the 50th Artillery Brigade. More information has been recently revealed, including unit’s insignia and the commander.

Details about the unit

The artillery brigade was formed on the basis of an artillery battalion from the 44th Artillery Brigade and is subordinated to the 14th Army Corps of the Ground Forces. According to a certificate obtained by MilitaryLand, the unit was assigned military unit number A5177 and is commanded by Colonel Andriy Hresko, who previously served as Chief of Staff of the 44th Artillery Brigade. The 50th Artillery Brigade operates Ukrainian made 2S22 Bohdana howitzers.

A recent post from the brigade’s official Facebook page also reveals the insignia of the unit. The emblem appears on MilitaryLand exclusively in high-quality, redrawn by our contributor, Davomme, also known as David Pipe.

The insignia depicts a chevron with a yellow border, and a red canvas, a homage to the colors used by artillery troops of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. The central imagery depicts four, symmetrical yellow chevrons, formed inwards towards the center of the insignia, evenly spaced to form a cross shape.
