Special Operations Forces of Ukraine
The
modern Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
were created in 2016 on the basis of existing units and subunits, most
of which already had some combat experience. As of the summer of 2023,
the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces are based on two special purpose
regiments – a special purpose maritime center, a special operations
center and several other units. Their main tasks include in-depth
reconnaissance, combat raids behind enemy lines, search and evacuation
of captives or hostages, and anti-terrorist activities. The selection
process for Special Forces units is very rigorous, with only 10% of all
candidates passing the
selection process. Special attention is paid
to the equipment of the Special Forces units. The weapons, equipment and
facilities include the most modern models, both foreign and Ukrainian,
such as the special Vulcan assault rifle, which has been supplied to
Special Forces units since 2017. Also in 2020, the Special Operations
Forces were the first in the Armed Forces of Ukraine to adopt the
structure of NATO army headquarters. During 2022-2023, Ukrainian Special
Forces units successfully performed the most difficult combat missions
in all areas of combat operations.
