The 300th Guards Mechanized Regiment (Ukrainian: 300-й окремий гвардійський Будапештський механізований полк, romanized: 300-y hvardiys'kyi Budapeshts'kyi mekhanizovanyi polk) was a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. The full name of the regiment is the 300th Separate Guards Mechanized Budapest Regiment.[2]
The Regiment was formed as 145th Guards Training Motor-Rifle Budapest Regiment. 145 Guards TMRR was previously 145th Guards Rifle Regiment, part of 66th Guards Motor Rifle Training Division, the former 66th Guards Rifle Division.
