About Unit

46th Airmobile Brigade is a military unit of the Air Assault Troops. The history dates back to December 2016, when 46th Air Assault Brigade was formed. The unit participated in the multiple tactical exercises and also was deployed to Donbas. In 2020, the brigade was demobilized and a skeleton crew remained. On February 16, 2022, soldiers of the brigade participated in a tactical live fire exercise in Donetsk Oblast.

Following the Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022, three battalion tactical groups formed on the basis of 25th, 79th, 81st, and 95th Brigades took part in the defense of Makariv and Kyiv. These groups later served as the basis of 46th Airmobile Brigade. In parallel, additional forces of the brigade were trained in England.
