The Ukrainian elite forms a new corps
Units of Air Assault Troops unite under a single army corps, hopefully for the better.
7th Air Assault Corps, also known just as 7th Army Corps, is a new army corps of Ukrainian Army. As the name suggest, it unites units of Air Assault troops under one single field command. A new management battalion has been formed under the command of 7th Air Assault Corps to handle all necessities – 87th Management Battalion (military number A4885).
The decision to form a new corps based on Air Assault units comes as a surprise, because all units of Air Assault Troops were already grouped under the command of the unit Command of Air Assault Troops. Petro Poroshenko, the former president of Ukraine, recently visited 7th Air Assault Corps and handed over new equipment. One of the photos suggest that most Air Assault units, including the command, are part of the newly formed corps.
If the structure is indeed like the one presented on the picture above, the newly formed 7th Air Assault Corps consist of Command of Air Assault Troops, 25th Airborne Brigade, 46th Airmobile Brigade, 71st Jager Brigade, 77th Airmobile Brigade, 78th Assault Regiment, 79th Air Assault Brigade, 80th Air Assault Brigade, 81st Airmobile Brigade, 82nd Air Assault Brigade, 95th Air Assault Brigade and 148th Artillery Brigade.
7th Air Assault Corps, unlike 9th and 10th Army Corps, doesn’t have its own tank brigade and have to rely on tank companies of each brigade. The only missing Air Assault combat unit is 132nd Reconnaissance Battalion.
The big question that currently remains unanswered is how this changes the designation of Air Assault units. The formation of 7th Air Assault Corps hopefully indicates a change, and not the continuation of the unfortunate role of Air Assault Troops, who since February 2022, have been used as regular mechanized units.

Does this mean that the Command of Air Assault Troops became the Command of the Corps or is there an extra command staff for the corps?
There should an extra command staff, because a new management battalion was formed as well.
And leave the Ukranians at the mercy of Putins blood thirsty, murderous, rapist, child killets? No Russia is the cesspool, the sewer of the world and Putin is the head rat.
Hello Vatnik, you are so boring.
You should at least try to add something original to your lies.
What is a lie? What Ukraine didn’t loose?
Are you shortsighted, or just dull all around?
Does Ukraine looks like a winning side? The whole country is a paradise. And they have a movie star for a king. Should have picked one that was action hero, not one that dressed as a woman dancing for an audience.
Hey Tris, Santa Clause isn’t real.
No, Ukraine did not lose. They won several important battles, and every month they are inflincting considerable dammage to the Russians. Including irreplaceable stuff like the A50U that was shot down a few weeks ago. Russians achieved nothing so far, they are corrupted, war criminals.
Give Ukrainians enough weapons and they will destroy the Russians.
I pray to God every day this war would end. My fiance’ is over there in Ukraine fighting for his life everyday. Them Russians all need to go down!!
And when you woke up, your legs were cold and out the blanket and your hand was in the socket.
You are the most delusional person on this channel. I feel sorry for you. Ukrainian channels report 1 million Ukrainian casualties. How many more before you are satisfied? You want all of them to be killed?
Santa ait real boy, Santa ain’t real.
I wonder why European countries won’t commit totally to Ukraine’s defence when they can stop Russian aggression in Ukraine without using their own forces. If Ukraine falls, Russia won’t stop their expansion, since China, North Korea & Iran are providing material support. Then, they’ll have to fight on their own lands & weaker countries will capitulate without a fight. EU must do more…
The reasons are multiple:
1) many European people and politicians are still blind about Russia’s intention, or are favorable to Russia for political reasons
2) even when they want to help Ukraine, politicians usually don’t have military experience and fail to understand the scale of the war, they think they are doing enough when they should do 10 times more.
I am interested in this discussion platform as I would like to hear other members thoughts.
For me this platform will be a tool of information I would like to understand as I truly believe Ukraine is on the road of permanent independence.
Please keep strong control of this site so as to prevent Russian interference.
Were I advising Ukraine, I would tell them to focus on the extended and vulnerable Russian supply lines. It is down a narrow, coastal road from eastern Russia. Cut the supply line, force them to depend on air or sea supply lines, making them more vulnerable to air or missile attack
