Photos on social media posted by Ukrainian soldiers reveal that 44th Mechanized Brigade received KTO Rosomak armored personnel carriers and Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks. Most of the brigade is currently in Poland, but will soon head back to Ukraine to help to liberate currently occupied Ukrainian land.
The brigade, known as “the Polish one”, is a mechanized unit of Ukrainian Ground Forces formed in the spring 2023. A mechanized battalion of the brigade received Polish-donated BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles a while ago, and has been already deployed to the front near Kreminna.
The remaining two mechanized battalions will be likely equipped with KTO Rosomaks. KTO Rosomak is 8×8 wheeled armored personnel carrier produced by Polish Armaments Group company. The Ukrainian government ordered 200 Rosomaks for its army in 2023, with the first 100 to be delivered the same year.
It’s not the only wheeled armored personnel carrier of the brigade. We informed about Slovenia-donated Valuk armored personnel carries in the service of 44th Mechanized Brigade on our Twitter roughly two months ago. These aren’t the only western equipment in the service of the brigade. At least one tank company, but given the amount of promised tanks, possibly the full tank battalion, should receive Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks.
In addition to all that, the artillery unit of the brigade acquired 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers. 44th Mechanized Brigade is one of the youngest Ukrainian combat brigades of Ukrainian Army.

Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander of the Ukraine’s Ground Forces, held discussions with commanders on the issue of an adequate response to the Russian offensive on the Lyman and Kupiansk fronts.

DETAILS: Syrskyi and the commanders of Ukrainian units have considered the issue of an adequate response to Russian offensive operations on the Lyman and Kupiansk fronts, as well as ways of increasing the effectiveness of inflicting damage on Russian forces, fighting drones of various types, and ensuring the advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Quote: “In the context of the continuation of intense offensive actions by the enemy on the Kupiansk and Lyman fronts, our troops disrupt their plans to break through our defence on a daily basis; they inflict significant losses in personnel and equipment and reduce the offensive potential of enemy troops.
On the Bakhmut front, we continue to carry out offensive actions, step by step, in conditions of strong enemy resistance, as our fighters liberate the territory, bringing victory closer.”
