3rd Drone Battalion “Kraken” is a linear unit of the 21st Regiment of Unmanned Systems of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.
The battalion was formed in August 2025, on the basis of several subunits that had transferred from the Kraken Special Unit of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine as part of the Main Intelligence Directorate.
It includes many highly experienced units from the previous Kraken formation, including the Special Assault Company, the Armored Company, the Brave Reconnaissance Group, the Gurza Group, and the FPV Company.
Insignia
The insignia is a homage to its former formation as the Kraken Special Unit. It depicts a triangular-shaped icon with a border divided into two, being red and black. The interior of the insignia depicts the Kraken creature, based on Scandinavian mythology, and depicted as an aggressive creature, containing a Tiwaz rune embedded in the head of the creature, and the bottom of the insignia is inscribed with the unit’s name in white. Above the head of the creature is a burst of flames, with sharp details and dents nestled inside the insignia.

Here you can find the last known structure of the unit, including their insignia if available.

It includes the headquarters, management and commandant platoon.
