Sicheslav paratroopers received Marder vehicles

25th Airborne Brigade got first Western vehicles and opens recruitment for foreigners.

A lot has changed since the appointment of the new Ukrainian Minister of Defense, Rustem Umerov. One of the more noticeable things is the decision that Ukrainian battle-hardened brigades should also get Western weapons. Finally.

Ukrainian 25th Airborne Brigade, the only brigade that is capable of airborne operations almost in its full force, now received Marder 1A3 infantry fighting vehicles. It’s the second known unit to receive such vehicles, the first being 82nd Air Assault Brigade.

Sicheslav Brigade also opens recruitment for foreign volunteers, who now have a chance to join one of the best Ukrainian brigades. You can find all necessary information about the joining process on the official website.

Unit’s page has been updated to reflect changes above.
