Volunteers on social media have revealed that the 33rd Assault Battalion has received German-made Marder 1A3 infantry fighting vehicles. This makes it the third unit of the Ground Forces, and the fifth overall, to receive these vehicles. Marders are also in service with the 100th Mechanized Brigade, the 225th Assault Battalion, the 25th Airborne Brigade, and the 82nd Air Assault Brigade.

So please explain to me how/why/WTF is going on, that with only 140 Martyrs given, 3 ENTIRE BRIGADES and 2 separate Battalions have found a way/manage to spread them out between each other…
So, why the f*** have over 300 Bradley’s been hoarded in one f****** brigade?(Edit: SKALA Battalion I have seen them use Bradley’s once but I don’t think they’re a part of the battalion…)

btw, whats the main purpose of the ОШБ, it seems like they usually owned the same donated equipment with some МБ, but whats the difference between its structure/equipment and МБ? (sorry, English isnt my native langue :::>_<:::)

maybe eventually they would go up in a size of assault brigade. 225 oshb is doing great job in Kursk.

Hi, Jerome. I found mistake in one unit. 418 seperate rifle battalion actually is a 419 rifle battalion ( unit number 4809). They part of 42 brigade, currently now in Kharkiv region, my co worker serve in this battalion. Thanks for attention.
