History

The brigade was formed in the summer of 2024. The formation of the 160th Mechanized Brigade is part of a larger expansion of the Ukrainian Army that plans to form 10 new brigades with their numerical designation in the 160s.[1][2] All of these brigades will be formed from freshly mobilized troops.[3] The brigade was reported to be undergoing training in Poland.[4]
