Ukrainian 71st Jaeger Brigade Flag

120×80 cm

This Ukrainian 71st Jaeger Brigade Flag 120×80 cm represents one of the most active formations in the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces. Produced in maroon fabric and printed with bold yellow Cyrillic inscriptions, the flag carries the call sign “Безжальні” (“Ruthless”) and the unit motto: “Перші. Завжди.” (“First. Always.”).

At the center is the winged sword paratrooper symbol, the core mark of the Ukrainian DShV (Air Assault Forces). Above it stands the distinctive IMMÍTIS boar emblem flag, featuring crossed rifles and a stylized wild boar’s head on a green shield — a visual marker of the brigade’s aggressive posture and identity.

This flag is a UAF Air Assault embroidered banner–style print, designed for symbolic and field-display use. Its maroon tone places it among the visual tradition of Ukrainian special forces morale flags, typically seen in tactical zones and morale spaces. The layout is consistent with the design language of the desantno-shturmovi troops flag series, with modern Ukrainian military aesthetics.

Its size (120×80 cm) makes it slightly taller than standard 90 cm versions, adding presence for wall or balcony display. This version functions both as a Ukraine tactical military flag and as a commemorative piece, suitable for collections focused on airborne or jaeger-type infantry.

Also recognized within the broader visual category of Ukrainian elite infantry unit flags, this item reflects both esprit de corps and operational credibility.

Historical Background:

The 71st Jaeger Brigade (71 Окрема єгерська бригада ДШВ) was formed as part of Ukraine’s post-2014 military restructuring, gaining prominence for its flexible role in reconnaissance, light assault, and maneuver warfare. Operating under the Air Assault Command, the brigade is trained for rapid action in wooded, urban, and fortified terrain.

The unit’s insignia — a fierce wild boar under the Latin motto IMMÍTIS (“relentless” or “merciless”) — reflects the unit’s reputation in combat operations. Since 2022, the brigade has reportedly taken part in numerous high-mobility engagements on active fronts.

The maroon color of the flag aligns it with Ukrainian Air Assault traditions, while the slogans emphasize aggression and first-entry mentality — core principles in Ukrainian special tactics doctrine.
