Anti Tank and Drone unit joins 19th Corps

It has emerged that the first two units have officially joined the newly formed 19th Army Corps of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. This was published over the past few week on the unit’s official Facebook page, with the first units to join being the 39th Unmanned Systems Battalion and the 94th Anti-Tank Battalion.

The 94th Anti-Tank Battalion was likely formed around late 2023 to early 2024, with a fundraiser pointing to the unit fighting in eastern Ukraine. The corps published that the battalion was recruiting. The 39th Battalion of Unmanned Systems was likely formed recently to help elevate the use of drones on the corps level. It was first known to be part of the corps in mid-July 2025, published on the unit’s Facebook.

It is now likely that each corps will be receiving an anti-tank battalion in its structure, with the first known battalion, the 91st Anti-Tank Battalion, being assigned to the 16th Army Corps – better known as the Kharkiv army corps.
