[edit] WP:MILHIST Assessment

A very nice start, with pictures of the ensign, and lists of the equipment. I recognize that the Ukrainian Armed Forces is quite new, but any expansion to the main (prose) section would be most welcome. LordAmeth 00:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Graphic of the Army Structure

I'm currently working on a project to create graphics of the structure of the most important Armies. i.e. French Army; German Army; Italian Army I also want to make a graphic of the structure of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but the information at this point is not sufficient, as there is no information how the units are structured (i.e. What Regiments/Batallions belong to which Divisions/Brigades, what type of units there are; and so on) Does anyone have this information- and also the Divisions/Brigades/Regiments/Battalions names and/or numbers and where they are based? Thanks noclador

Noclador, I'm actually very flattered by your initiative to create a graphic structure of Ukraine's army, but unfortunately I think you're right. Ukraine's Armed Forces are incredibly un-transparent and (To my knowledge) there is practically no information on -these kinds of structures, or none at least that were given to the general public. Other then finding someone who was actually in the army and asking them what number their brigade is and where they were stationed, I really don't think that you'll find the information that you require. Please keep trying, Bogdan 02:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I have some information which I have gathered for another project, but there is a lot of pieces missing and the information is only in Ukrainian. I can send it to you if you want to. Or I can send it when I have more information and it is translated to English.Ceriy 22:30, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe the new structure is like this:

• Land Force Command
  • Western Operational Command
  • Southern Operational Command
  • Territorial Directorate "North"
  • Military University "Lvivska Politekhnika"
  • Rocket Brigade
  • Land Force Command Support Units

    • 92nd Mechanized Brigade
    • 93rd Mechanized Brigade
    • 55th Artillery Brigade
    • Corps Units
  • 8th Army Corps
    • 1st Armoured Brigade
    • 30th Mechanized Brigade
    • 72nd Mechanized Brigade
    • 95th Airborne Brigade
    • Artillery Brigade
    • Corps Units
  • 13th Army Corps
    • 17th Armoured Brigade

[edit] Guards units

Did Ukraine's army retain the designation of Guards units, like the Russian Guards? —Michael Z. 2007-08-27 18:38 Z

They did all the divisions which had that designation kept them, I'l post a list here later. Ceriy 04:32, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

• Here's an incomplete list of units List of guards units of Ukraine Ceriy 03:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Airmobil

By old information they had 1 airborne brigade(25-а окрема повітряно-десантна бригада), 1 airmobile brigade (95-а окрема аеромобільна бригада) and 2 airmobil regiments(79-й та 80-й окремі аеромобільні полки). Since summer of 2007 1 of the Regiments(79th) was reorganized into a brigade, and the 2nd should be reorganized soon also. Ceriy 04:32, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Equipment

I don't agree with many weapon systems that are listed in the article as being in Ukrainian army service. The BTR-3, BTR-94, T-72MP, T-55AGM were developed for export and there is no proof that they were deliverd to the UA armed forces. Same for the Russian BTR-90. As for the BMP-3, since there are only 3 or 4 vehicles around, I wouldn't mention them as major weapon system of the UA army; it's misleading. Regards. dendirrek (talk) 14:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
