History
It was established in 2023 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine [1] and was amongst the first units to be equipped with 2S22 Bohdana incorporating both Tatra T-815-based vehicles and new armored models while also utilizing Soviet 2S7 Pion and German Panzerhaubitze 2000. [2] Till February 2025, Bohdana fired more than 3,000 shots, while others had fired more than 2,000 shots. [2] Conscripts are also enrolled into the brigade. [3]
Once a Bohdana of the brigade was attacked by 5+ Russian kamikaze drones but it only suffered minor damage and the crew was only concussed, another Bohdana was once targeted with artillery strikes, but suffered only minor shrapnel damage and once a Bohdana was struck directly with shrapnel and caught fire, the vehicle was destroyed but the artillery piece was salvaged. [2]
It took part in combat operations in Donetsk Oblast where it was tasked with striking targets 30 kilometers away, mostly armored vehicles, artillery systems, ammunition depots, observation posts and fortifications. [4] In December 2024, it was operating to halt the Velyka Novosilka offensive near the administrative border between Zaporizhzhia Oblast and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast so as to prevent a Russian entry into the latter [5] by bogging down Russian forces by striking personnel at pickup and drop-off [6] as well as by destroying Russian armored vehicles. [7] The brigade also reported severing of communication lines at this front by Russian forces. [8] In January 2025, the brigade reported massive casualties amongst Russian forces stating that Russian assault Forces had to "step over the bodies of dead Russian soldiers". [9]
