Historical Background – 23rd Separate Tank Battalion (DShV):

The 23rd Separate Tank Battalion is part of the elite Ukrainian Air Assault Forces (DShV) and operates as a dedicated armored support unit. Established during the ongoing war with Russia, the battalion enhances the firepower and breakthrough capabilities of airborne and air assault formations.

Equipped with modernized Soviet-era tanks and Western armored vehicles, the 23rd Battalion provides critical armored support during rapid offensive maneuvers, including spearheading assaults and reinforcing defensive lines. It has been actively engaged in combat in Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia directions.

The unit’s integration within the DShV reflects Ukraine’s evolving combined-arms doctrine, where armored units operate fluidly with infantry, UAVs, and artillery. Its crews are trained for high-mobility warfare, rapid deployment, and operations under heavy fire conditions.

This patch is an original Ukrainian-made item used by soldiers of the 23rd Tank Battalion in the war in Ukraine.
