32nd Mechanized Brigade Patch 7x8cm – Ukrainian Armed Forces PVC Velcro Insignia

32nd Mechanized Brigade Patch 7x8cm — original Ukrainian military insignia made from PVC with Velcro (hook side), representing the 32nd Separate Mechanized Brigade (32 ОМбр). This patch is manufactured in Ukraine and intended for use on combat uniforms, tactical vests, and field equipment.

The 32nd Brigade is one of several new mechanized units formed as part of Ukraine’s 2023 military expansion, under the Ministry of Defense initiative to build additional combat-ready formations to support counteroffensive and defensive operations.

Historical Background – 32nd Separate Mechanized Brigade:

The 32nd Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was established in 2023 as part of the country’s strategic response to the ongoing full-scale invasion. Its creation marked one of several efforts to rapidly train, equip, and deploy new reserve and mechanized formations to relieve pressure on frontline units and prepare for future counteroffensive actions.

Initially formed with a mix of mobilized troops and contracted servicemen, the 32nd Brigade underwent training both in Ukraine and abroad, including NATO-standard exercises. By mid-2023, its units were reported to be operating in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk directions, contributing to combined arms maneuvers and mechanized assaults.

As of 2024, the brigade remains an active combat unit, participating in positional warfare and reinforcement operations on the southern and eastern fronts. Though relatively new, it has become a symbol of Ukraine’s ongoing military growth and adaptive response to evolving battlefield conditions.
