SOF units are considered the elite of Ukraine’s military and are responsible for deep reconnaissance, sabotage, counter-terrorism, direct action missions, and strategic raids. Operators are highly trained in both NATO and Ukrainian doctrine, often deployed behind enemy lines or in high-risk environments.

Historical Background – Ukrainian Special Operations Forces:

The Special Operations Forces of Ukraine (SSO) were officially formed in 2016 as a distinct branch of the Armed Forces. Their creation aimed to build a professional, Western-modeled SOF component capable of modern unconventional warfare, asymmetric operations, and high-stakes missions in contested zones.

Since 2022, SOF units have carried out numerous high-risk operations across occupied and frontline territories. Their roles include reconnaissance, disruption of enemy logistics, elimination of high-value targets, and coordination of artillery strikes based on real-time drone surveillance.

They operate autonomously or in joint missions with intelligence and airborne units. Notable operations attributed to SOF include deep penetration raids, nighttime sabotage actions, and UAV-guided target elimination.

This patch is Ukrainian-made and is currently worn by active SOF personnel in multiple operational theaters across Ukraine.
