64th Rifle Battalion Patch 7x8cm – Ukrainian Armed Forces PVC Insignia

64th Rifle Battalion Patch 7x8cm — official PVC insignia of the 64th Separate Rifle Battalion, one of Ukraine’s newly formed light infantry units. The patch measures 7×8 cm and is worn by servicemen engaged in defensive and stabilization operations in conflict zones across Ukraine.

The 64th Battalion was created in 2022 as part of the rapid force expansion following Russia’s full-scale invasion. Rifle battalions like the 64th are used to hold terrain, provide infantry support to mechanized and artillery units, and carry out urban and forest combat missions.

These units are typically formed from mobilized volunteers and trained within territorial defense or ground forces structure.

Historical Background – 64th Rifle Battalion:

The 64th Separate Rifle Battalion was formed during Ukraine’s wartime mobilization wave in response to the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022. Rifle battalions represent flexible, infantry-heavy units used in territorial defense, urban warfare, and support of combined-arms operations.

The 64th Battalion has been deployed to active front-line sectors, where it plays a crucial role in holding positions, supporting regular mechanized units, and conducting local offensives. Its composition includes a mixture of reservists, mobilized civilians, and contracted soldiers.

Rifle battalions are essential for sustaining troop density along the front and for controlling liberated or contested areas, especially where heavy equipment cannot be effectively used. The 64th continues to serve in Ukraine’s active defense and stabilization efforts.
