Ukrainian 93rd Mechanized Brigade Flag

120×80 cm

This Ukrainian 93rd Mechanized Brigade Flag 120×80 cm features a high-contrast black and white split layout with iconic symbology of the Cold Yar unit. The top half displays a stylized wing with oak leaves and the brigade’s name “93 ОМБр Холодний Яр”, while the bottom section contains the oak-branch insignia crossed with a combat knife.

Printed alongside is the Latin motto Nonquam Retrorsum, translating as “Never Backward,” affirming the unit’s uncompromising stance. As a Cold Yar unit black and white banner, the visual identity reflects elite positioning within Ukraine’s modern ground forces.

Its symbolism classifies it as a UAF infantry tactical morale flag, commonly seen in front-line positions and within units with strong internal identity. The central insignia also marks it as a knife oak wreath emblem — a tribute to both legacy and resilience.

With its crisp print and size of 120×80 cm, the flag serves as a modern battlefield unit banner, equally suited for interior display or lightweight field use. The stylized design, Latin inscription, and subdued color scheme connect it to broader families of Nonquam Retrorsum flags and minimalist Ukrainian army ground forces flags.

The oak motif, deeply rooted in Ukrainian symbolism, makes this also a Ukrainian oak symbol military flag, blending historical reference and modern tactical identity.

Historical Background:

The 93rd Mechanized Brigade “Kholodnyi Yar” is one of Ukraine’s most well-known frontline units. With extensive combat experience during the Donbas conflict and full-scale invasion phases, the brigade has become a symbol of resilience and tactical effectiveness.

Named after the Cold Yar region — a historic site of resistance and rebellion — the brigade adopted both the legacy and symbolic strength of Ukrainian partisan warfare. Its motto “Nonquam Retrorsum” reflects the brigade’s combat ethos, especially under high-pressure conditions.

The oak and knife emblem pays homage to both historical Cossack traditions and modern mechanized combat roles. Members of the unit have gained recognition for their high mobility, aggressive counterattacks, and holding key positions under fire.

Today, the 93rd remains one of the most recognizable infantry formations in Ukraine’s defense forces.
