June 2014 North west Pakistan airstrikes
[edit]On 10 June, Pakistani security forces carried out aerial strikes in Tirah Valley of Khyber Agency in the northwestern tribal areas next to the Afghan border, during which nine militant hideouts were destroyed and at least 25 militants were killed[1][2][3][4]. The aerial strikes were conducted in the wake of the attack, and were an extension of a campaign of military operations against militants being conducted since the past few months.[2][1] The area was believed to be used as a shelter for several anti-state militant factions and foreign fighters from Central Asia.[1][3]
On 11 June, the Army decided to intensify air strikes on militant hideouts following a conference between top military commanders at the General Headquarters, Rawalpindi.[5][6]
On the early hours of Thursday 12 June, the U.S. conducted two successive drone strikes near Miramshah in North Waziristan, after a nearly six-month break in US drone campaigns in the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan. The drone strikes killed 16 suspected militants. According to a Pakistani intelligence sources, the militants killed included four Uzbeks, a few key Afghan Taliban commanders and members, and two members of TTP Punjab.[7][8]
On 15 June, Pakistan Air Force fighter jets bombed eight militant hideouts in North Waziristan, during which at least 105 militants[9][6] (or up to 150 according to other official sources)[10] were killed according to security officials. Most of those killed during the strikes were Uzbek fighters, as the targets were predominantly Uzbek hideouts, and the dead included insurgents linked to the airport attack.[10] Military and intelligence sources confirmed the presence of foreign and local militants in the hideouts before the military operation. Abu Abdur Rehman Almani, a key Uzbek militant commander and a mastermind of the attack, was also reported killed. Some foreign militants from the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a Uyghur separatist group from western China, were also among the dead.[11][6]

The Scramble of Lacccadives was a military race between Pakistan Navy and Indian authorities in Travancore to reach the islands of Lakshadweep and annex the territory which took place in late August 1947. Both countries deployed naval vessels but the indian authorities were able to reach first annexing the islands.
Background
[edit]The Aminidivi islands under the rule of Tipu Sultan of Mysore Kingdom in 1787 were annexed to the British Raj in 1799 after the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. The rest of the islands remained under the suzerainty of the Arakkal family in return for a payment of annual tribute.[12] The British took over the administration of those islands in 1908 for nonpayment of arrears and attached it to the Madras Presidency.[13] As Lacccadives were not a separate entity so they weren't considered during the Partition of India and thus their status was unclear so Pakistan attempted to take hold of these islands.[14]
Race for Lacccadives
[edit]At the end of August, 1947, Liaquat Ali Khan, came to realisation that Lacccadives, a region with Muslim majority didn't become a part of Pakistan and could be taken control of with ease. The Deputy Prime Minister of India, Vallabhbhai Patel, also started to think about Lacccadives.[14][15][16]
So , the Royal Pakistan Navy sent a naval vessel towards Lacccadives from Karachi. In India Vallabhbhai Patel was informed about the plannings in Karachi. He immediately sent collector of Travancore to Lacccadives.[14][15][16] He also sent a message to Mudaliar brothers to convey the collector of Travancore to order the police officials to go to Lacccadives with available weaponry. Vallabhbhai Patel stated “If the police forces no firearms with them, they can take lathis with them but somehow take possession of the area.” [17] and the Flag of India was raised.[14]
A few hours later, Pakistani warship reached and had to return on seeing the Indian flag flying.[14][15][16]
Aftermath
[edit]The islands were annexed into the Dominion of India and became part of the Madras State under the Constitution of India in 1950.[18] In 1956, the islands which were had been divided between the South Canara and Malabar districts of Madras state, was organized into a separate union territory administered by the Government of India, following the States Reorganisation Act.[19][20] The territory which was known as Laccadive, Minicoy, and Amindivi Islands became Lakshadweep islands on 1 November 1973.

[edit]uk:Одеський загін морської охорони
In 1992, the 18th Odesa Sea Guard Detachment's personnel swore allegiance to Ukraine. In March 1995, the 26th and the 18th Marine Border Guard Detachment were merged as the 26th Sea Guard Detachment. In 2000 it was expanded to a Brigade level detachment named as the "1st Odesa Sea Guard Detachment". On 1 November 2002, it was awarded "The Best Military Unit of the Southern Direction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine." On 1 November 2009, it was again awarded as the "Best Military Unit of the Southern Regional Directorate of the State Border Service of Ukraine" and then for the third time in 2010.[107]
In 2014, following the Russian invasion of Crimea, 12 units of the Sevastopol and Yalta maritime guard detachments were added to the Odessa Sea Guard detachment.[108] In 2018, Iryna Herashchenko and Iryna Friz presented the detachment with parliamentary honours.[109] On 12 May 2021, the detachment discovered and thwarted the Russian missile corvette "Pavel Derzhavin" in the Black Sea near the city of Chornomorsk.[110] On 1 June 2021, the detachment's chief of staff, Oleksiy Chertkov, did not arrive at the detachment's location and had gone missing, a search was initiated but failed to bring results,[111][112] he was later revealed to be a Russian agent that had been evacuated by Russian agencies.[113]
On 5 March 2022, the detachment evacuated 40 foreign crew members amidst the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[114] In December 2022, the special operations force of the detachment underwent extensive training.[115] On 7 April 2023, the positions of the detachment in Kherson Oblast were struck by Russian Air Force, with Russian government sources alleging to have inflicted "significant casualties" of around "50 personnel".[116] In 2023, it also conducted regular patrols in the Black Sea aimed at deterring the Russian fleet as well as boarding suspicious vehicles in search of ammunition and equipment being transported.[117][118] It again underwent extensive training in December 2023.[119] On the new year eve of 2024, the detachment destroyed a Russian Shahed drone.[120]

The Cuban invasion of Panama was a military operation in which Cuban troops and some Panamanian guerrillas invaded Panama in April 1959 with the aim of promoting a Cuba style revolution. The invasion was led by Panamanian Enrique Morales to support a coup attempt by Roberto Arias. The invasion was the first attempt to export the Cuban revolution to other countries using guerrilla warfare and marked a turning point for various media and political sectors in the United States and Latin America regarding the intentions of Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution. The Cuban invasion of Panama marked the subsequent rise of guerrilla groups in Latin America as part of the Cuban strategy of exporting the revolution and the conquest of power in the context of the Cold War.
Background
[edit]During the Cold War, Cuba often positioned itself internationally by providing direct military assistance to those who shared the same ideology and to resistance movements.[121] Informally, Cuba's ambitions of foreign military intervention began shortly after the Cuban Revolution in 1959, though it was officially adopted and pronounced in 1966 by Fidel Castro at the Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America.[122]
Events
[edit]On 3 April 1959, local guerillas of the Revolutionary Action Movement supported by Cuba looted a weapons store and went onto the mountains prompting a military operation by the Panamanian guardsmen the next day. On 6 April 1959, the National Guard engaged the rebels killing two insurgents while two guardsmen including Omar Torrijos were wounded.[123] On 9 April 1959, another confrontation took place which ended with the escape of the guerillas previously captured although some were captured a few days later.[124] On April 15, the Panamanian government denounced Cuba's plans to invade Panama before the international community.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page). A force of 200 personnel was trained for invasion in Pinar del Río at the orders of Dermidio Escalona.[125] The yacht carrying the force set sail from the Batabanó on 19 April 1959[126] carrying 82 Cubans, 2 Panamanians (including Floyd Britton) and an American led by the Cuban César Vega,[125] moreover a doctor, 4 nurses and 4 bomb experts were also on board.[127] The yacht carried 37 machine guns, 32 carbines and rifles, 10 grenades, 17 pistols and revolvers and 6 portable radio equipments.[127] On 24 April 1959, Cuban forces arrived on the shores of Panama for an invasion attempt in support of a coup attempt to topple the Panama government,[128] the first Cuban military intervention in a foreign nation following it's communist revolution.[122] The attempted coup was planned by diplomat Roberto Arias, nephew of deposed ex-president Arnulfo Arias and husband of famous British ballerina Margot Fonteyn.[129] The invasion force arrived in Panamanian jungles on 25 April 1959.[130] During the landing attempt, Enrique Morales, leader of the 22nd May Youth Revolutionary Movement drowned leaving the group without a commander.[127] After landing the group soon split up into several detachments to recruit locals and then rendezvous.[124] On 27 April 1959, Colonel Bolívar Vallarino gave a press conference denouncing the invasion and presenting three captured prisoners (two Cubans and one Panamanian). On 28 April 1959, the besieged invaders in Nombre de Dios demanded to be taken to Cuba to which the Panamanian government responded negatively demanding "the unconditional surrender of the invaders."[127] On 28 April 1959, Fidel Castro distanced himself from the invasion stating it to be irresponsible.[130] On 30 April 1959, 30 Panamanian National Guard personnel were deployed to Nombre de Dios for the first Battle against the Cuban forces but were called back so a team of neutral observers could reach the location. By 30 April, Cubans were 20 miles from the Panama Canal having marched 35 miles up the coast. The invasion force on 30 April numbered 89 men with 300 more reportedly en route.[131] The coup was repelled by members of the Panamanian National Guard[132] with support from the United States and Guatemala[126] and 87 men of the invading force surrendered[133] on 1 May 1959 after negotiating with investigating committee of the Organization of American States consisting of representatives from Brazil, the United States, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Paraguay.[130] The invading force claimed that their surrender was in accordance with Castro's orders.[134]
Aftermath
[edit]All the surrendered invaders were released and sent back to Cuba, a month later.[126] Che Guevara declared that Cuba was exporting revolutionary ideas but not the revolution itself.[102] In 1959, Roberto Aria and Fonteyn were charged with attempted gun-smuggling from their yacht off the coast of Panama and he was accused of fomenting a revolt against President Ernesto de la Guardia Jr. She was immediately deported to England; Arias took refuge in the Brazilian Embassy for two months and was then given safe conduct out of the country. Eventually the charges were dropped and, after a governmental change, the couple were permitted to return to Panama. Documents released in March 2010 by the British government showed that they were both involved in the unsuccessful coup attempt.[135] The invasion was the first step that led to heightened tensions between Cuba and the United States and the subsequent rise of guerrilla groups in Latin America,[136] as part of the Cuban strategy of exporting the communist ideas,[137][138] It also directly caused the establishment of Latin American Solidarity Organization leading to Ñancahuazú Guerrilla[139] and resulted in increased leftist militancy across Latin America.[140] It later resulted in the formation of Revolutionary Coordinating Junta.[141]
47th Special Operations Detachment
[edit]It was established at an unknown date but has been operating since atleast 2020. On 13 May 2020, two operatives of the detachment (Suprigan Andriy Valeriyovych[142] and Kuzmenko Dmytro Pavlovich[143]) were killed in an aviation incident in Kramatorsk while practicing a low-altitude landing.

The detachment guards the Moldova-Ukraine border and Romania-Ukraine border in two Raions (Bolhrad Raion and Izmail Raion) as well as three seaports and Izmail International Airport. It guards 442.4km border with Moldova including 3 km along lake and 132.8km along land and 306.6km border with Romania, 181.1km along the Danube River and 125.5 km maritime border.[337]
History
[edit]On 14 August 1940, the 79th Izmail Detachment was established by the NKVD to guard the newly acquired Bessarabia. The 79th Izmail border detachment, in cooperation with the ships of the 4th Black Sea detachment, guarded the border area on the Danube. The number of personnel of the detachment was 1569 personnel with Lieutenant Colonel Sava Hnatovych Grachov as it's commander. In June-July 1941 border guards of the detachment conducted several raids (23, 24 and 25 June) on Romanian territory, capturing several settlements, including the Stara Kilia, Pardini, Rozdilny island and Satul Nou cape. On 30 June 1941, the 79th Border Detachment was transferred to the RSCHA. On 30 September 1941, the detachment arrived in Kharkiv and became the 17th Border Regiment. In March 1944, the regiment took part in the capture of Mykolaiv and the capture of Odesa in April 1944. On 25 August 1944, at 8:00 a.m., the regiment reached the northern outskirts of Izmail and was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. On 15 October 1945, the 17th Red Banner Izmail Regiment was disbanded. On 1 July 1976, it was established as the Izmail Checkpoint by KGB.[338]
In 1994, the 17th border control detachment was formed on the basis of the Izmail checkpoint and started operations on 20 August 1994. In 1998, the 1st border commandant's office became part of the Detachment. In September 2000, the school of maritime specialists became part of the Izmail detachment and separated in 2002. In March 2002 the 2nd border command post of the detachment was created. In August 2002, the Zmiiny border outpost became part of the detachment.[338][339][340]
On 13 February 2015, 140 servicemen of the detachment returned to Izmail following six months of deployment in Kramatorsk and combat operations in Lysychansk to Kostiantynivka.
Fortunately, the soldiers not only honorably fulfilled the tasks assigned to them, but also did not suffer any losses - all are alive and well.[341]
The personnel of the detachment underwent a 10-day training by the Northern Regional Administration.[342] In June 2015, the detachment received 54 new trucks and pickups of various models to replace the old Soviet era vehicles.[343] On 6 June 2016, 80 conscript guardsmen of the detachment took the oath of loyalty to Ukraine, for the first time in eight years.[344] In February 2017, the detachment received three KRAZ Cougar Armoured Vehicles.[345]
On 24 February 2022, at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Russian flagship cruiser Moskva,[346] and patrol ship Vasily Bykov, began an assault on Snake Island, a Ukrainian island with a small island with a single village populated by fewer than 30 people, that had a contingent of 13 guardsmen stationed on the island at the time of the attack, all of them belonging to the Izmail Detachment.[347] Moskva called on the soldiers to surrender in return for their safety, which was firmly declined by the defenders.[348][349] Subsequently, Snake Island was captured by the Russian naval forces, and Ukraine had initially thought and reported that the thirteen soldiers defending it were all killed in the Russian assault. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced he would "posthumously" award the soldiers on Snake Island with the highest Ukrainian honour, the Hero of Ukraine.[350][351] Russia however denied those accounts and stated that all the soldiers were not dead, but had surrendered and been taken as prisoners.[352] On 28 February 2022, the Ukrainian Navy announced that all of the border guards were alive and detained by the Russian Navy.[353][354] On 24 March 2022, some of the Snake Island border guards, including Roman Hrybov, were returned to Ukraine in a prisoner exchange.[355] On 15 June 2023, the Izmail detachment rescued a crewman of a German-flagged vessel on the Danube.[356] On 12 August 2023, the detachment return to Snake Island.[357] On 3 September 2023, the Izmail Detachment shot down two Shahed-136 UAVs[358] and four more on 6 September.[359] In December 2023, the detachment neutralized an illegal border crossing scheme.[360] On 13 October 2023, a guardsman of the detachment (Artem Mykolayovych Sklyarov) was killed during a combat mission in Makiivka, Luhansk Oblast.[361]

The Sumy Company is a company of the Special Tasks Patrol Police subordinated to Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The company is based in Sumy. It was established in 2014 in the wake of the War in Donbass and has, since then seen regular combat on the frontlines.
History
[edit]Following the Revolution of Dignity, 30 additional special police units were established amidst the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine.[556] On 16 April 2014, it was established as the Sumy Battalion.[557] It's main tasks became the protection of public order in Sumy Oblast as well as in the ATO zone.[558][559] The Sumy Oblast Council allocated 1 million hryvnias for the purchase of uniforms and shoes, radio communication equipment, body armor and special equipment of the battalion.[560] The battalion's personnel conducted theoretical and practical training including shooting and combat coordination.

Someone who has been in battle, like no one else, begins to understand what peace is. When we entered Sloviansk, the city was destroyed. Looting and banditry flourished. Today, local residents support us, because they saw and felt for themselves what those "benefactors" who promised a good life did. And when you compare what happened in Sloviansk and what we see in peaceful Sumy, you understand that you have to do everything to prevent a similar scenario from repeating itself in your hometown.[564]
A soldier of the company (Volkov Ivan Volodymyrovych) died on 1 March 2015.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it saw combat during the Battle of Sumy.[565]

Arsen Avakov, in 2015 gave the company a nickname of "Black Hundred in Kharkiv".[620] The "East" company has an exclusively Scythian theme. It's current insignia, on addition to the ancient Scythian helmet also shows a traditional Scythian weapon pair, Acinaces and Sagaris.[621] This eastern approach is also reflected in the fact that the personnel of the company are refered to as "Orientals".[622]

The Chernihiv Battalion is a rifle battalion of the Special Tasks Patrol Police subordinated to Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The regiment is based in Chernihiv. It was established in 2014 in the wake of the War in Donbass and has, since then seen regular combat on the frontlines.
History
[edit]It was established on 16 April 2014, following the Revolution of Dignity and was one of the first units of it's kind in Ukraine[630] to curb the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine.[631] The backbone of the battalion composed of the 14th "Free People" which took part in Euromaidan and was led by Roman Pytskiv. The battalion's main tasks included protection of public order and peace in Chernihiv as well as ensuring peace in the areas facing unrest.[632]
Creating the battalion itself was not easy. I was given the task of gathering people. There was an instruction from Andrii Parubiy to organize people from the Self-Defense Forces, I took guys from the Maidan, those who did not join the National Guard . We arrived in Chernihiv, where we were given an old room and started the training process.[633]
Volunteers provided humanitarian assistance to the personnel of the Chernihiv battalion such as warm winter uniforms and food and Chrysler Voyager and Dodge Caravan minivans for emergency evacuation and countersabotage operations.[634] On 13 May 2014, the first 46 personnel of the Battalion took the oath of loyalty and also took up weaponry.[635] They started patrols in Chernihiv Oblast and were soon deployed to the ATO zone.[636] The Battalion was deployment to the Luhansk Oblast, first to Kreminna where they performed anti-separatist clearing operations during the Battle of Kreminna, and then entered Rubizhne together with the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the Battle of Rubizhne. Then took part in the operation to relieve the encirclement of besieged Ukrainian forces in Lysychansk during the Battle of Lysychansk and ultimately in the capture of the city. Then they conducted similar clearing operations during the Battles of Sievierodonetsk, in Krasnyi Yar and Vegunka as well as in Vilkhove and Stanytsia Luhanska. In general, in the ATO zone, the battalion conducted clearing operations, repelled attacks by separatists, guarded checkpoints, conducted patrols, performed vehicle control operations and helped during evacuation.[636][637]
We are following the army and are engaged in clearing dangerous sites. We find those who supported the separatists with money, supplied them with uniforms and products. We found weapons and ammunition in many of the sites. During the period of the existence of the battalion, we handed over more than forty people to the SBU.[638]
On 21 October 2014, the commander of the battalion, Roman, was awarded a nominal weapon; four soldiers were awarded the badge "For bravery in the service", five received official thanks and twenty two were assigned special ranks.[630] In November–December 2014, fighters of the "Chernihiv" battalion continued to operate in Stanytsia Luhanska and also took part in the Battle of the Border. From 2:55 p.m. to 3:20 p.m. on 16 November 2014,. separatists crossed the Siverskyi Donets River and fired automatic weapons and grenade launchers at a patrol car of the "Chernihiv" battalion and a checkpoint of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the bus station of Stanytsia Luhanska, the attack resulted in the deaths of three soldiers of the battalion (Oleksandr Viktorovych Naidyon,[639] Zapeka Viktor Oleksandrovych[640] and Ishchenko Andriy Vasyliovych[641]) and wounding of many more includingRoman Mykolayovych Los who was so severely wounded that he was sent to Greece for treatment under the NATO program. During an operation at the Athens Hospital on 20 July 2015, he fell into a coma, and in March 2016, was transferred to Kyiv where he died on the morning of 10 June 2016.[642][643] On 26 November 2014, Stanytsia Luhanska was shelled by BM-21 Grads.[644] On 29 November 2014, after shelling from mortars and rocket artillery, the positions of the battalion were attacked by four separatist tanks but the attack was repulsed by RPGs and artillery strikes.[645] On 18 June 2015, Hennady Moskal appealed to disband the Tornado and Chernihiv battalions due to suspected involvement in criminal activities,[646] especially smuggling.[647] "Tornado" was Disbanded as a separate Battalion and became the 4th Company of Myrotvorets Battalion but "Chernihiv" continued it's operations.[648] On 21 December 2015, it was again deployed to the ATO zone.[649] On 15 April 2016, on the eve of it's second establishment anniversary, it's size was reduced to a company, some lf it's personnel returned from Donbas after serving in Kurakhove and more personnel prepared to carry out combat missions in Mariupol.[650] On 26 January 2017, the Chernihiv Company was deployed to Mariupol[651] and continued to operate in Mariupol till 2021.[652]
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it took part in the Siege of Chernihiv during which on 28 February 2022, a soldier of the company (Dmytro Muzyryov) was killed while repelling an advancing Russian column[653] and another (Ihor Kushnirenko) was killed on 6 March 2022.[654] The company took part in the Battle of Soledar and the Battle of Bakhmut.

The Second Company of the Special-Purpose Kyiv Regiment (Ukrainian: 2-ша рота полку особливого призначення «Київ», romanized: 2-sha rota polku osoblyvoho pryznachennia «Kyiv»), formerly known as the Kyiv-2 Battalion (Ukrainian: Батальйон «Київ-2», romanized: Batalion «Kyiv-2») is a battalion of the Kyiv Regiment of the National Police of Ukraine's Special Police Forces. It was established in 2014 and since then, has seen regular combat.
Commanders
[edit]The "Kyiv-2" battalion was formed from the members of Maidan Self-Defense with most personnel being the veterans of the Soviet Afghan war and activists of the S14 organization and Svobada party as well as volunteers from Kyiv Oblast and Eastern Ukraine.[702]
We are a team. We were building cathedral Ukraine long before the war. And fraternal income and support, a surge of care have worked more than once before. Only relatives and volunteers help out the soldier. And volunteers are warmed by the society that we have been building for a long time.[703]
It was initially deployed to fight in the Battle of Debaltseve. On 4 September 2014, the battalion retreated to Sloviansk.
The ring near Debaltseve almost closed, so we were forced to retreat from Debaltseve to Sloviansk.[704]
Whilst operating in Sloviansk, the Battalion destroyed 4 separatist sabotage and reconnaissance groups.[705] Teg battalion continued to operate in Chornukhyne where on 18 August 2014, the Battalion raided a house where separatists were staying. There were also civilians in the building, so during the operation sk the fighters of the "Kyiv-2" battalion did not use grenades, during the Battle a soldier of the Battalion (Serhii Anatoliyovych Podgornyi) was killed in action.[706][707][708] On 10 October 2014, Hennadiy Moskal alleged that the battalion had left it's positions in Chornukhyne and withdrew from the ATO zone without an order.[709] The commander of the "Kyiv-2" battalion Bohdan Voytsekhovsky rejected the allegation:
We have everything according to plan. Yes, we left the village of Chornukhyne, where we stayed for exactly three weeks ... but we did not leave the ATO zone ... We went to our base, reformed, received additional heavy weapons, which the Ministry of Defense finally allowed us to allocate. .. We have been in the ATO zone for more than two months.[710]
Anton Gerashchenko confirmed this withdrawal to be according to plan.[710] It continued operations in Volnovakha* during which it provided security during the elections of People's Deputies to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 26 October 2014.

[edit]Following the Revolution of Dignity, 30 additional Special Purpose Police Patrol Units were established to counter the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine.[816] The size of the Kyivschyna Battalion was designated to be 200 people, volunteers aged 19 to 45, veterans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and former police officers.[817] About 400 applications were submitted for the Battalion, of which 143 were accepted into the Battalion, comprising of volunteers from all over Ukraine.[818] The majority were veterans or had taken part in the Revolution of Dignity. They underwent an accelerated training course of 50 hours at the Kyiv School of Professional Training of Police Officers. On 19 May 2014, about 90 personnel took the oath.[819] In the summer 2014, the recruitment continued with women also volunteering.[820] The foundation "Development and Protection of Kyiv Region" handed over 200 sets of combat uniforms to the Battalion.[821] After the oath, the personnel of the battalion were issued regular small arms. In the autumn of 2014, the battalion received large- caliber DShK 1938s produced in 1950–1970, automatic grenade launchers and disposable anti-tank grenade launchers.[822] Before the first mission of the Battalion, the residents of Kyiv Oblast purchased body armor and Kevlar helmets for the personnel of the battalion who had only uniforms and weapons. Since then, volunteer activists supported by the Kyiv regional state administration and the leadership of the militia of the Kyiv Oblast carried out logistical sorties to support the battalion in the ATO zone.[820][823] The "Father's House" orphanage decided to hand over their minibus to the Battalion.[824] The Kyiv Oblast Council presented two Kamaz vehicles to the battalion.[825] The provision of assistance was coordinated by "Development and Protection of Kyiv Region", "Reliable Rear" and NGO "Guard and Protection".[826][827] [In mid-May 2014, the battalion was one of the first units deployed to the Luhansk Oblast and Donetsk Oblast. Kyivshchyna battalion guarded strategic sites, conducted patrols, served at checkpoints, accompanied cargo convoys, and conducted special operations.[828] The ATO zone, divided into three zones, red (front), yellow (middle), and green (rear). The Battalion was operating in the Red zone.[820] After a three-month stay in the ATO zone, the personnel returned to Kyiv Oblast for a short rest, where they were equipped and armed. The Battalion commander assured the community of Kyiv region that "The Battalion knows what and for whom they are fighting! After all, Ukraine is behind us!".[829] On 3 September 2014, additional special forces of the battalion were deployed to the ATO zone.[830]
We are in the ATO zone in Luhansk region. We are currently carrying out a cease-fire order as part of a truce with the other side. However, some locations of our unit sometimes continue to be shelled by mortars and heavy weapons: guns and howitzers. We want to believe that the fire is not targeted, but only to intimidate. We have information that despite the fact that the other side also received a clear order to cease fire, there are many who do not agree with it in the ranks of the militants themselves. However, thanks to this truce, we have a good opportunity to solve a number of problems that were absolutely impossible to do before: we get weapons, equipment, and the personnel have time to practice tactical actions. We also carry out intelligence work, operations to clear territories, because we constantly receive information that subversive groups are working nearby. We detain persons who work for the separatists and "spill" information to them, photograph roadblocks. We hand it over to counterintelligence. However, the majority of the population, on the contrary, supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine and tries to help us in every possible way. People are frightened, they are very afraid that the same massacre will begin, as in Ilovaisk or Luhansk. Everyone is terribly afraid that they will be left with the so-called DPR and LPR, because they know very well what is happening on the other side of the front line from their relatives and friends. It is necessary to reassure people, to explain the real state of affairs.[831]
A soldier of the battalion (Sheremet Ruslan Serhiyovych) was killed in action on 6 October 2014. On 7 August 2015, "Kyivshchyna" , "Harpoon" and a part of the "Tornado" Company were reformed into the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Separate Companies of the Myrotvorets Battalion.[832]

On the same day, the battalion took it's first duty to guard the residence of Roman Popadiuk, the United States Ambassador to Ukraine.[1031] On 1 July 1995, the battalion was expanded to the 22nd Separate Brigade for the protection of Diplomatic and Consular Missions of Foreign countries and in addition to units that performed security functions, it also included a school of ensigns. In 2000, after the disbandment of the National Guard of Ukraine, the brigade was transferred to the Internal Troops of Ukraine, subordinated to the direct command. In 2012, the brigade was transferred to the Northern Territorial Command. In 2014, the brigade became part of the newly established National Guard of Ukraine, again as a directly subordinated brigade.
On 1 February 2014, an embassy staffer's car of the Embassy of Canada, Kyiv was torched after she attended anti-government rallies.[1032] On 18 February 2014, the Canadian embassy in Kyiv was allegedly attacked by "a group of unidentified persons armed with sticks".[1033] Soon the authorities' forces including the personnel of the 22nd Brigade stormed a camp of activists outside the Embassy of Canada, Kyiv which triggered clashes that killed at least 26 people.[1034] During early March 2014, demonstrations were held outside the Russian embassy in Kyiv in response to a Russian intervention in Crimea.[1035] On 15 May 2014, Ukrainian activists held a protest against France's delivery of two Mistral helicopter carriers to Russia at the French embassy in Kyiv.[1036] After the start of the War in Donbass, the battalion's special purpose guard company participated in combat missions in the ATO zone, multiple tasks were performed by the BTR-80s of the battalion who provided transportation and combat work of the soldiers of the other units of the National Guard of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine. The servicemen of the battalion's special purpose company carried out duties at checkpoints, in active offensive actions especially during the Siege of Sloviansk and the [Battle of Sievierodonetsk[1037] and in conducting operational, preventive and stabilization operations.[1038] During the Siege of Sloviansk, a BTR-80 of the brigade, during an engagement near Mount Karachun, rescued a besieged group of soldiers of the Security Service of Ukraine, under fire from grenade launchers, the BTR-80 managed to break through two separatist checkpoints and reached the besieged troops and carried the soldiers back to the positions of Joint Forces Operation.[1039][1040] On 3 June 2014, the brigade's troops performed an operation to destroy a separatist stronghold in Semenivka, on the outskirts of Sloviansk.[1040] On 14 June 2014 between 200 and 300 protesters overturned several cars of embassy staff and replaced the Russian flag with the flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in protest against Russian governmental involvement in the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine.[1041][1042]

Serhii Kulchytskyi Battalion
[edit]uk:Батальйон оперативного призначення НГУ ім. Сергія Кульчицького
2014
[edit]On 14 March 2014, about 500 volunteers from Maidan Self-Defense became reservists of the newly established National Guard of Ukraine, and went to Novi Petrivtsi and started training at the headquarters of the former Bars Regiment as the 1st Reserve Battalion.[1050] The training and coordination was directly managed by Major General Serhii Kulchytskyi, commander of the National Guard and Andriy Antonyshchak from the Maidan Defense Headquarters.
It was a scary time. Crimea was destroyed, new cities were captured in Donetsk region every day. I came to Novi Petrovka every day and we solved some urgent issues, and there were many of them. To Kulchytskyi's credit, he was not only a good soldier, not only a good psychologist, but also a very good householder. Imagine for a moment. Several hundred Maidan residents come to the training ground, the vast majority of whom survived the events of February 18-20. They hate cops with every fiber of their soul. And here is the base of "Bars", which stood opposite us. And here the commanders are cops. ... There was something terrible in the first days. The commanders of "Bars" walked step by step and watched over theirs, and we watched over ours. The base is the same. Well, let them sleep in the barracks, and ours in tents. But there is only one toilet. Dining room - one. How do you divide it? It seemed that they were killing themselves. The people of Maidan shouted: "The cops are bad, we will tear you apart." They answered no less "gently": "You are the underdogs from Hrushevsky"! There were isolated incidents, which were immediately suppressed. And the merit of General Kulcytsky cannot be overestimated in this... This can now be taken more or less calmly. And then all the wounds were still open. We continued to bury our brothers, searched for the missing in forests, morgues and hospitals. But the problem was solved. Partly by persuasion, partly by delivering correct information[1051]
In Novi Petrivtsi, the personnel were trained for hand-to-hand and street combat tactics in addition to training with automatic weapons, submachine guns, sniper rifles, hand machine guns and large-caliber machine guns, grenades and offensive and defensive maneuvers. The platoon commander of the 1st reserve battalion Oleksandr Wendyuk stated:
The main thing is that we learned to act as one unit. We went through the battles on the Maidan and were united even then. And now, when we have learned the tactics, we feel that we are invincible.[1052]
Three Lviv businessmen presented the battalion with a BRDM-2.[1053] On 5 April 2014, 300 reservists of the 1st reserve battalion took the oath of loyalty to Ukraine[1054] and became a part of the 27th Perchersk brigade. Then the Battalion went to Pavlograd and then to Izium to take part in the Siege of Sloviansk[1055] during which on 9 May 2024, a soldier of the brigade (Ihor Volodymyrovych Geisun) was killed in his vehicle by separatists.[1056] Soon, Andriy Parubiy called on "patriotic citizens" to join the second volunteer battalion of the NSU:
The first battalion of the National Guard, formed from Maidan Self-Defense, is participating in the anti-terrorist operation in Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Reserves are required. Recruitment for the second reservist battalion of the National Guard on a reservist contract or permanent basis has been announced. It is necessary to be 18-50 years old, without a criminal record or with an exonerated one, to pass a medical examination.[1057]
By 16 May, 270 volunteers had arrived for the creation of the 2nd battalion under the coordinator Andriy Tiron,[1058][1059] who completed their training and took oath and we to the ATO zone to take part in the Battle of Kramatorsk and Siege of Sloviansk.[1060] Popular Ukrainian media personality, Leonid Kanter mentioned about the Battalion as:
Then gradually everything became clear, we figured out where everything is, got used to the "four after four" schedule - four hours you are "in the outfit", four hours you are free. Day and night mixed. In those four hours between outfits, you had to eat, wash, wash, sleep, and clean your weapons. You choose two or three tasks from this to do, the rest for the next four hours. Plus, during those four hours, there are combat alarms, during which you "blow up" and run no matter where and in what you are... .[1061]
On 24 May 2014, during the Siege of Sloviansk, separatists launched an armed attack on the checkpoint of the National Guard on the eastern outskirts of Sloviansk, near the intersection of the roads to Krasny Liman and Kramatorsk, the engagement lasted 2 hours involving the use of mortars and grenade launchers in addition to small arms during the engagement a soldier of the battalion (Zinchyk Stanislav Mykhailovych) was killed and some personnel were wounded as well.[1062] The Battalion also received high support from right-wing and ultranationalist parties with Ukrainian National Alliance stating:
All of Ukraine is represented in our military unit. These are the people who stood the Maidan. Among them are many Volhynians, in particular from the "Volynska sich" hundred. And the chaplain of the battalion, Father Makariy, is from Lutsk. Apparently, it would be dishonest, even in front of oneself, to sit at home now and do everyday things. We went to fight, because it is our time
Bohdan Balbuza, remarked about the battalion as:
However, there is already a feeling that we are close to victory. Earlier "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!" sounded only in the nationalist environment, and now it can be heard from the President and members of the government, and from the smallest children and schoolchildren. Stepan Bandera dreamed that there would be a time when one would say "Glory to Ukraine" and a hundred thousand would continue "Glory to the heroes!". And his dream came true.[1063]
Soon, General Kulchytsky also went to Siege of Sloviansk operating and monitoring the battalion before his death in an aircraft shoot down on 29 May on Mount Karachun after working alongside the Battalion for over a month.[1064] On 31 May 2014, the 1st Reserve Battalion came back to it's garrison for replenishment and rest.[1065] On 5 July 2014, Chief of Staff of the 2nd Reserve Battalion, Andriy Ivchenko, stated:
I went almost to the center of the city with intelligence. We removed the Russian tricolor from the central barricade of Sloviansk and raised our Ukrainian flag with the inscription Second Battalion.[1066]
Roman B. of the 2nd reserve battalion stated that:
Everything is gutted, the roads have huge potholes from the explosions. Some areas of the city were completely destroyed. In addition, the city is mutilated by fortifications built by terrorists - for this they used not only prisoners, but also heavy construction equipment.[1067].
Also following the Siege of Sloviansk, on 26 June 2014, during the announced "ceasefire", the separatists using tanks and mortars attacked the checkpoint No. 1, during the first minutes of the battle, two armored personnel carriers of the paratroopers of the 95th Airmobile Brigade were hit killing a paratrooper, during the battle a soldier of the battalion (Gulyk Artur Yaroslavovych) was killed and five more wounded. One of the three tanks of the National Guardsmen was destroyed, and a soldier of the Battalion successfully hit a separatist tank and then another soldier Serhii Sidorin of the battalion completely destroyed it using an RPG-7. Ultimately separatists captured the position but Ukrainians launched a counterattack and captured it the next day.[1068][1069][1070][1071][1072][1073] In July 2014, the 1st and 2nd Battalions joined together and formed an operational battalion named after the Hero of Ukraine Major General Serhii Kulchytskyi, called as the "Kulchytskyi Battalion"[1074] with Andriy Antonyshchak stating:
... 155 and 170 soldiers of the 1st and 2nd battalions, respectively, who had already visited the ATO zone, arrived in Novy Petrivka, where the National Guard base is located. This is the vast majority of those who have already participated in hostilities. Of course, those undergoing treatment after being wounded could not come... The name of General Kulchytskyi is sacred to the Guardsmen. The boys rush into battle and are ready to take revenge on the occupiers for his death, for the death of their brothers and to finally cleanse our land of the separatist contagion.[1075]
When the 1st and 2nd battalions were established, they received small arms but after the events during the Battle of Ilovaisk in August 2014, the battalion received armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and heavy infantry weapons.[1063] On 28 August 2014, during the Battle of Debaltseve, the retreating convoy including that of the brigade was ambushed by separatists killing five soldiers (Fedir Valeriyovych Ukharskyi,[1076] Andrii Ivanovych Tyshchenko,[1077] Mykola Mykolayovych Matvienko,[1078] Kurmashev Oleksiy Vasyliovych[1079] and Doga Oleg Vyacheslavovych[1079]) of the brigade and wounding 19 more.[1080] In August 2014, Arsen Avakov stated that ten thousand law enforcement officers were engaged in the ATO zone including volunteers such as those of the battalion.[1081] Andrii Antonyshchak noted:
We have done one part of our work. For us, this is a continuation of the Maidan. The barricades have simply moved into the Donetsk region. Soon they will move to the borders of Russia.[1082]
In August-September 2014, the personnel of the battalion took part in the Battle of Debaltseve.[1083] The battalion also performed combat support operations during the Battle of Mariupol during which on 5 September 2014 separatists attacked a column of Ukrainian forces arriving to Mariupol, near Boikivske,[1084] and a soldier of the Battalion (Eremenko Viktor Viktorovych) who was severely wounded during the attack died soon after on 11 September.[1085] On 1 October 2014, in Debaltseve a soldier of the Brigade (Kononovych Ivan Mykolayovych) got himself into a landmine explosion killing him and wounding two other soldiers.[1086] Ukrainian columnist, Yuriy Butusov noted :
Two battalions of volunteers of the National Guard, made up entirely of Maidan activists, were created to perform the tasks of maintaining public order in Donbas. However, the mobilization resource of those ready to immediately leave everything and go to war was small. Provision and equipment of volunteers remained at a very low level. However, these two battalions, together with the "Omega" special forces unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were the only units immediately transferred to the Sloviansk region to blockade the terrorist base. It was the first two battalions of the National Guard that performed a huge and invaluable amount of front-line work, while the country was reviving army units that were sent to the front in separate units. There was simply nothing else[1087]
Volunteers of the Kherson Oblast from Oleshki and Kherson routinely brought food to the base camps of the battalion.[1088] Also, the community of Oleshki collected 35 thousand hryvnias and purchased 40 sets of winter uniforms. On 6 October, the soldiers of the battalion returned to Kyiv for a short rest.[1089]

At the occasion of the battalion's return to garrison, Arsen Avakov said:
Not all returned. Ten died. Dozens were injured... In front of the formation, they stood in a guard of honor next to the portraits of the fallen soldiers... Spontaneously rushed through the frozen ranks: Heroes do not die! .. Men, soldiers did not hold back tears.[1090]
In October 2014, the Battalion held a press conference at the garrison of 27th Perchersk brigade.[1091] On 12 December 2014, personnel of the battalion detained a passenger car in Popasna attempting to smuggle one million hryvnias.[1092][1093] On 26 December 2014, the operative group of the battalion detained a resident of the Donetsk Oblast on suspicions of being a separatist, further search showed that she was amongst the organizers of the 2014 Donbas status referendums, RGD-5 grenades, combat equipment, weapons and propaganda leaflets were confiscated.[1094]

In 2007, the personnel of the unit protected public order when a train carrying phosphorus was derailed in the village of Ozhidiv, Lviv Oblast and was involved in the disaster control operations.[102]
It was then transferred to the National Guard of Ukraine after the disestablishment of the Internal Troops of Ukraine.[1577]
After the start of the fighting in Donbas, the soldiers of the regiment guarded military bases, served in ATO zone, at checkpoints in Sloviansk, Popasna, Debaltseve, and took part in battles for Novodruzhesk, Krymske, Toretsk, and Pervomaisk in three deployments.

On the morning of 9 May 2014, the commander of the Lviv regiment, Colonel Valery Smolov, received information that people in balaclavas carrying weaponry were attacking the Mariupol city police department and the first floor of the department had already been captured by the separatists, so multiple units of the National Guard of Ukraine, including the 45th regiment were sent as reinforcement to help the besieged police officers. The National Guardsmen were moving in two groups, when they went to Georgiivska Street, the separatists attacked them from automatic rifles and machine guns killing a soldier of the regiment (Shlemkevich Bohdan Vasyliovych) and wounding four.[1579][1580][1581][1582][1583] The regiment participated in the Battle of Debaltseve and on 7 August 2014, the Ukrainian troops including those of the brigade were ambushed near Debaltseve killing a soldier of the regiment (Maksym Dmytrovych Kochura).[1584][1585]
On 29 August 2019, following the collapse of a four-story building in Drohobych, around 60 personnel of the regiment were involved in search and rescue operations.[1586] In March 2019, the regiment received the honorary name of "Lieutenant Colonel Oleksandr Krasitskyi", a Lieutenant Colonel of the Ukrainian Galician Army who participated in the Ukrainian War of Independence.[1587]
The regiment saw combat during the Russian invasion of Ukraine from the early days of the invasion but however endured few causalities. On 2 May 2024 a soldier of the regiment (Yury Samoilichenko) was killed whilst serving on the frontlines.[1588]

39th Tactical Aviation Brigade is brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force, tasked with operating Su-27 and Aero L-39 Albatros aircraft. The brigade traces it's origin to the the 894th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Soviet Air Force but it's direct lineage is from the 9th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Ukrainian Air Force. It is based at Ozerne Air Base.
History
[edit]The brigade traces it's origin to the the 894th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Soviet Air Force, a part of the 28th Air Defense Corps which in February 1992, after the Dissolution of Soviet Union, became a part of the Ukrainian Air Force, although the regiment was officially active on the MiG-29 aircraft , but the unit did not receive new aircraft, so in August 2001, the regiment's personnel were retrained on the Su-27 fighters, transferred from the 204th Tactical Aviation Brigade.[1976] The regiment now became the 9th Fighter Aviation Regiment.[1977][1978]
On 27 June 2002, a MiG-29UB from the 114th Tactical Aviation Brigade was prepared for demonstration piloting during the airshow but due to weather conditions, it couldn't arrive in Lviv so in its place, a Su-27UB from the 9th Fighter Aviation Regiment was sent in it's place. More than 10,000 spectators attended the air show, staged to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Ukrainian Air Force's 14th Air Corps.[1979][1980] The Su-27 aircraft was flown by two experienced pilots; it entered a rolling maneuver at 12:52 p.m. with a downward trajectory at low altitude. It rolled upright once more and was still descending rapidly when the left wing dropped shortly before it hit the ground, at which point the crew initiated ejection. The aircraft flattened out initially, skidding over the ground towards stationary aircraft and striking a glancing blow against the nose of an Ilyushin Il-76 transport aircraft, before beginning to explode and cartwheel into the crowd of spectators.[citation needed] Both pilots survived with minor injuries, while 77 spectators were killed, including 28 children in what became known as Sknyliv air show disaster.[1981] Another 100 were hospitalized for head injuries, burns, and bone fractures.[1979][1982] Other injuries were less severe and did not require hospitalization. A total of 543 people were injured in the accident.[1983] Some bystanders suffered serious mental disorders from what they saw.[1984] Following the disaster, the pilots stated that the flight map which they had received differed from the actual layout. On the cockpit voice recorder, one pilot asks, "And where are our spectators?".[1985] Others have suggested that the pilots were slow to react to automated warnings issued by the flight computer.[1985] A criminal case was initiated against the commander of the 9th Aviation Regiment, Oleg Dzyubetskyi, but he was declared not guilty.[1986]
In December 2004, the regiment was retrained on the MiG-29 and then in December 2008 on the Su-27, becoming the 9th Fighter Aviation Brigade, during this period Yuliy Mamchur was the brigade's commander.[1987]
During January 22-23, 2010, Su-27 and Su-27UB crews of the 9th Tactical Aviation Brigade performed day and night flights in difficult meteorological conditions. The main task of the flights was further training.
In 2011, the brigade was reorganized into the 37th Separate Fighter Squadron, a part of the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade.[1988] In February 2013, the squadron took part in air exercises in Crimea, using Su-27s which repelled an air attack by two MiG-29 aircraft of the Sevastopol Tactical Aviation Brigade. In April 2013, the Su-27 and L-39 aircraft, the pilots made 45 sorties, spending about 40 hours in the sky.[1988] The purpose of the event was to prepare the flight crew to perform air defense and combat duty tasks, perform regular inspections, flight training and maintenance of training in difficult weather conditions, during day and at night.[1989] In August, the squadron took part in the international air show "International air show-2013" in the city of Radom, Poland.[1990]

Before the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war, there was a possibility of disbanding the squadron as it was planned to relocate it's personnel to Vasylkiv Air Base.[1991]
In February 2014, the pilots of the squadron made 19 flights with a flying time of about 14 hours.
On 5 January 2015, a MiG-29 and a MiG-29UB of the squadron were transferred to the Air Force for the 114th Tactical Aviation Brigade and two Su-27s repaired at the Zaporizhzhia were handed over to the squadron.[1992]
In 2016, a Su-27UB was transferred to the squadron after undergoing repairs at Zaporizhzhia in addition to two repaired and modernized Su-27s.[1993]
In 2017, a Su-27P1M fighter-interceptor of the squadron was transferred to the 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade.[1994]
On 15 December 2018, at around 3:00 p.m, a Su-27 of the brigade crashed near Ozerne while landing, it's pilot Major Oleksandr Vasyliovych Fomenko was killed during the crash.[1995][1996]
On 1 January 2018, the squadron was reformed into the 39th tactical aviation brigade.[1997][1998] The organizational staffing structure of the brigade, guards and security units, logistics, barracks and all other premises, were reestablished, a modernized SU-27, an AN-26, L-39, and Mi-8MT helicopter were also transferred to the 39th Brigade.[1999]
On 24 February 2022, at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, faced with a Russian missile attack, brigade's aircraft took to skies. During the attack Lt. Col Eduard Mykolayovych Vahorovsky was killed in action when his Su-27 was hit destroying it whilst enabling others to take to skies saving the other aircraft,[2000][2001][2002] he was posthumously awarded the "Hero of Ukraine", the highest military award for Ukrainian personnel.[2003] Another pilot Dmytro Valeriyovych Kolomiiets heroically deflected the attack of enemy aircraft by distracting the Russian aircraft towards his L-39 but in this action, his aircraft was ultimately shot down by a Russian plane,[2004][2005][2006] he was also awarded the "Hero of Ukraine".[2007] Andrii Yuriyovych Tsyganov was also killed on 24 February, a Su-27 and a refueling vehicle of the brigade were destroyed at apron of the Ozerne Air Base as a result of Russian missile strike.[2008] On 21 August 2022, a pilot of the brigade, Lt. Col Babych Pavlo Petrovych was killed while performing an unspecified combat operation.[2009] On 24 August 2022, the brigade was awarded the honorary award "For Courage and Bravery".[1867] On 12 October 2022, Colonel Oleg Shupik was killed when his aircraft crashed in Poltava Oblast when missile hit his aircraft while returning after bombarding Russian positions in unspecified areas of Eastern Ukraine.[2010]

10th Naval Aviation Brigade Colonel Ihor Volodymyrovych Bedzai is the sole Brigade of the Ukrainian Naval Aviation established in 2004 by the merger of 9th Mixed Marine Aircraft Squadron, 316th Separate Marine Aviation Squadron and the 555th Naval Helicopter Regiment. It operates a vast arsenal of fixed wing, rotatory and unmanned aircraft. It was previously garrisoned at Novofedorivka but is currently based at Mykolaiv.[2012][2013][2014]
History
[edit]The unit was established in 2004 by the merger of 9th Mixed Marine Aircraft Squadron, 316th Separate Marine Aviation Squadron and the 555th Naval Helicopter Regiment of the Ukrainian Navy with the last commander of the 555th regiment, Yuriy Moskalyov becoming the brigade's first commander. On 14 October 2008, the brigade was assigned the name Saka, in reference to it's place of deployment.
Ukraine's naval units, accompanied by the brigade's aircraft participated in several deployments such as Operation Atalanta and Operation Ocean Shield.[2015]
The brigade took part in the military exercise "Sea Breeze 2014".[2016][2017] In March 2014, during the Russian invasion of Crimea, the battalion's aircraft stationed at Novofedorivka carrying personnel in radio silence mode, risking getting lost and without warning the higher command, evacuated to the mainland to the Kulbakino Air Base, leaving behind only ground vehicles.[102][125] On 3 March 2014, the evacuation started as the helicopters of the brigade took off without taxiing onto the runway, straight from the hangars followed by aircraft. In just eighteen minutes, four planes and five helicopters were evacuated to the mainland. After five days, a pilot of the 10th Naval Aviation Brigade in civilian clothes evacuated another helicopter assigned to Ukrainian frigate Hetman Sahaidachny[2018] and took it to mainland.[2019] The brigade became the first unit to evacuate all of it's combat equipment completely from Crimea.[2020][2021] In April 2014, an incident took place outside the Novofedorivka Air Base in the military dormitory building, which was occupied by Ukrainian servicemen and their families that were awaiting relocation to mainland Ukraine. While Major Stansilav Karachevsky, the head of Operational HQ of the 10th Naval Aviation Brigade was preparing his belongings in preparation to leave Crimea, an altercation between him and several soldiers on both sides broke out.[2022][2023] The scuffle escalated to where Russian spetsnaz sergeant E.S. Zaitsev shot the unarmed officer twice in the head at point blank range with an AK-74 assault rifle on the 5th floor of the dormitory building where Russian soldiers were evacuating the troops. Major Karachevsky was pronounced dead immediately. A second Ukrainian personnel, identified as Captain Artem Yermolenko, was beaten and abducted by Russian soldiers. Russian sources confirmed the death of a Ukrainian major perpetrated by one of its sergeants. After the incident, the major's body was reportedly taken by Russian troops. Zaytsev was convicted by a Russian military court for murder and sentenced to two years imprisonment.[2024][2025]
In July 2016, the brigade took part in the international military exercise "Sea Breeze 2016".[2026]
On 16 March 2017, the brigade received a Mi-14PL helicopter after it's restoration at the Aviakon Aircraft Reparation Plant,[2027] and another Mi-14PL was handed over after restoration on 2 July 2017.[2028]

In early January 2022, the brigade received a new training building equipped with flying simulators, workplaces for personnel training, interactive whiteboards, and a gym with modern sports equipment.[2040] Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 10th Naval Aviation Brigade was pre-deployed to reserve airfields and airstrips to prevent missile attacks and prevent equipment losses.[2041] A Bayraktar TB2 of the brigade distracted the air defense of the Russian cruiser Moskva giving enough time window for it to be hit by a R-360 Neptune.[2042] On 2 May 2022, a Bayraktar TB2 of the brigade destroyed two Raptor-class patrol boats of Russian Navy.[2043] On 7 May 2022, during the Snake Island campaign, a helicopter of the brigade flown by the commander of Ukrainian Naval Aviation, Ihor Bedzai was attacked by a Russian Su-30 but the Mi-14 evaded gunfire but was hit by a R-73 guided missile killing Ihor Bedzai along with four other personnel[2044][2045] (Mykhailo Ihorovych Zaremba,[2046] Serhii Mykolayovych Mushchytskyi,[2047] Yuriy Pirog,[2048] and Ilchuk Vasyl Vasyliovych[2049]) on board. On 24 June 2022, the 10th Naval Aviation Brigade was given the honorary name of Colonel Ihor Bedzai.[2050] In the coming days, a Russian amphibious assault ship amd two anti-aircraft missile systems "Tor" near Snake Island were hit by the brigade's Bayraktar TB2s.[2051] On 8 May 2022, a Bayraktar TB2 of the brigade destroyed an Mi-8 helicopter during an attempted landing on Snake Island.[2052] A soldier of the brigade (Yuriy Viktorovych Severnyuk) was killed in combat on 4 October 2022. In November 2022, in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the United Kingdom announced they were donating three former Royal Navy Westland Sea Kings to Ukrainian Navy[2053] which were inducted into the brigade.[2054][2055] On 2 July 2023, the brigade was awarded the honorary award "For Courage and Bravery".[2056]

US military support to Israel
[edit]The time allocated for running scripts has expired. On October 7 2023, hours after the start of the Israel–Hamas war, the United States started sending warships and warplanes into the region, prepared to give Israel whatever it needs.[2567] Israel asked the United States for Iron Dome interceptors, and President Joe Biden said Washington would quickly provide additional equipment and resources, including ammunition, which are going to reach Israel within days. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington would provide its "full support" to Israel, with guided missile launchers and F-35 fighter jets among the equipment being sent.[2567] On October 12, Biden administration started preparing an aid package of about $2 billion in additional funding to support Israel.[2568] On October 14, the Pentagon had dispatched a small team of Special Operations personnel to Israel for intelligence gathering.[2569] On October 15, the White House declared that it would attempt to get congressional approval of a fresh $2 billion weaponry aid package for Israel and Ukraine.[2570] By October 17, five shipments of American weapons and equipment had arrived in Israel.[2567] On October 20, Biden announced that the additional funds he asked Congress to authorize would come to a total of $14 billion, as part of a $105 billion military aid package that addressed Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel as well as US border security.[126]
In November, a Republican plan was approved by the United States House of Representatives that allocated $14.5 billion in military aid for Israel.
By December US had supplied 15,000 bombs and 57,000 155mm artillery shells, mostly carried on C-17 military cargo planes. U.S. has also sent more than 5,000 unguided Mk82 bombs, more than 5,400 Mk84 bombs, about 1,000 small diameter GBU-39 bombs.[2571] On December 8, Biden used emergency authority to skip congressional review to sell ~14,000 tank shells worth $106.5 million for immediate delivery to Israel.[2572] On December 29, the United States government again used emergency authority to sell Israel artillery shells and related weapons worth 147.5 million dollars in order to replenish Israeli weapons stockpiles.[2573]
In February the Senate passed a $14 billion USD aid package for Israel.[2574]
By March US had approved more than 100 arms sales to Israel.[2575] On 30 March, the White House authorized $2.5 billion in weapons transfers to Israel.[2576]
In April, Biden signed a $95bn security package which included around $17bn in military aid for Israel.[2577]
On 16 May, Biden notified Congress about a $1 billion arms sale to Israel.[2578] On 21 May, the U.S. House passed legislation that would slash the U.S. military budget unless Biden sent 3,500 heavy-duty bombs to Israel.[2579]
In June, the United States officially signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance, allowing Israel to purchase 25 additional Lockheed Martin F-35 stealth fighter jets for $3 billion dollars.[2580] Also in June, Rep. Gregory Meeks and Sen. Ben Cardin signed off to an arms sale to Israel totaling $18 billion, after pressure from the Biden administration.[2581]
Shafqat Baloch
[edit]On 6 September 1965 , at 1 A.M , Major Shafqat Baloch was moving towards the assigned position along with 90 of his troops. The troops were moving carefully amidst reports of Indian incursions . All of a sudden there was a loud burst of a machine gun coming from a military post of the Pakistan Rangers. The Major issued orders to move towards the post and on the way, he met a Rangers troop who broke the news of Indian assault and the death of many from his unit including the Major. The Ranger was going to inform the higher command but their telephone was damaged.
Major order the troops to entrench themselves near the Ichhogil Canal. They heard the noises of Indian infantry and Tank regiments. Through outnumbered, the Pakistanis were determined to put up a resistance.
The Major climbed to a position from where he could observe the Indians, while waiting for the indian troops to come closer, an Indian sniper shot the Major injuring his left arm.
Major requested artillery support but the Battalion headquarters was hesitant over fears of Friendly Fire.
The Major told the coordinates to his CO Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim and requested artillery fire.
Major directed the artillery precisely at the indian troops inflicting heavy casualties as they had no idea about Pakistani presence. Then the Pakistani Anti tank crews destroyed two indian tanks followed by a rigorous infantry assault. The Indians had no choice but to retreat.
Pakistani troops were able to establish a definite frontline halting the Indian offensive. On September 7, Major and his comrades were ordered to come back and partake in the Battle of Barki while Major Aziz Bhatti was dispatched to the BRB front.
Major was taken to the GOC Major General Sarfraz Khan and asked about the casualties to which he responded with 2 killed and few wounded.
General was surprised and not believing, so he asked the major to rest, to which major responded by politely replying "Sir you can count my men".
Major's actions stalled the front for 17 days till the ceasefire agreement was reached. For his act of valor , he was awarded Sitara-e-Jurat.

But they were called back to let a team of neutral observers get in first. Nombre de Dios, an isolated town on the Caribbean coast only 20 miles from the Panama Canal, was siezed by the rebel mercenaries after they landed from Cuba on Sunday and marched 35 miles up the coast. The band now numbers 89 men and is reported armed with automatic weapons. President De la Guardia's government is worried that even a small band of invaders might touch off a full-scale revolt. The government also has been increasingly jumpy over reports that a new band, numbering perhaps as many as 300 men, is en route by ship from Cuba."
