In the classified Joint Staff briefing slides, there was a listing of the ready status as of 28 February for nine new Ukrainian brigades. One of those was a reserve brigade that existed (at least on paper) when the war started. The other eight were new brigades. They are:
- 116th MBde (new unit),
- 47th MBde (new unit),
- 33rd Bde (reserve unit, mechanized?),
- 21st Bde (new unit, mechanized?),
- 32nd Bde (new unit, mechanized?),
- 37th Bde (new unit, mechanized? Not listed on militaryland.net),
- 118th MBde (new unit),
- 117th Bde (new unit, mechanized?),
- 82nd Air Assault Bde (new unit).
The charts do list the equipment being prepared for them. To summarize:
Tanks:
116th MBde: 13 x T-64 (UKR), 17 x Tanks (XXX) = 30
47th MBde: 28-T-55S (SLV) = 28
33rd Bde: 14 x Leopard 2A6 (DEU), 4 Leopard 2A4 (CAN), 14 Leopard 2A4 (POL) = 32
21st Bde: 30 T-64 (UKR) = 30
32nd Bde: 10 x T-72 (NLD), 20 x Tanks (XXX) = 30
37th Bde: 14 x AMX-10 (FRA), 16 x Tanks (XXX) = 30
118th MBde: 28 x T-72 (POL) = 28
117th Bde: 31 x PT-91 (POL) = 31 (a PT-91 is a Polish upgrade of the T-72)
82nd Air Assault Bde: 14 x Challenger (GBR) = 14
The charts show the tank type and in parentheses the country they are from. So for example, the 33rd Bde is getting 14 Leopards from Germany, 4 from Canada and 14 from Poland. A Ukrainian tank brigade is nominally 31 tanks (3 companies of 10 and one command tank).
I am assuming that if I have these documents, then the Russian FSB also has them. I gather they are still officially classified. Will address other AFVs and artillery in subsequent posts.
Itś gonna be a problem when losses occur, that there are no replacements for those AFV.
I mean the western ones.
