History

In 1992, following the Dissolution of the Soviet union, the personnel of the 14th Radio Engineering Brigade of the Soviet Army took an oath of loyalty to Ukraine. In March 1992, the first Ukrainian commander of the brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Klimov Serhiy Borisovych, was appointed and the brigade was staffed with local Ukrainians as well as with the members of the Ukrainian diaspora. The units of the brigade that were stationed on the territory of Moldova were transferred to the Armed Forces of Moldova with the exception of one unit under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Kudar V.I. Many of its units were deployed along the border with Moldova for radar coverage and a separate radar unit of the brigade was deployed to Snake Island. It received automated radar systems and separate mobile radar platoons were established within companies and battalions of the brigade. In 2007, a separate research area for air defense "Oreanda PS" was created in the regiment. On 22 July 2008, the brigade received the honorary name of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi. [1]

Since 2014, personnel and units of the brigade participated in the War in Donbas. Separate mobile radar platoons of the brigade were quickly redeployed and were used to create radar coverage for ATO zone. In 2016, the brigade received the newest Ukrainian-made Pelican radar systems. [2]
