Andriy Malakhov recently began creating a new unit, the 153rd Reconnaissance and Assault Battalion. The battalion, part of the 12th Army Corps, includes many former members of the disbanded 518th Battalion.
\"I involve people with whom I have fought. These are soldiers from the Special Operations Forces, as well as from volunteer battalions,\" Malakhov explained. According to him, the unit will focus mainly on using modern technologies to maximize the protection and effectiveness of personnel.
\"We are not going to reinvent anything, because we have already tested these methods. We will apply what we know and refine it,\" Malakhov added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
