108th Separate Assault Battalion "Da Vinci Wolves"

The 108th Separate Assault Battalion "Da Vinci Wolves" is a Ukrainian military formation associated with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and based in Haisyn. The unit emerged in 2024 from the Honor and Ulf units, which had previously been part of the 1st Assault Battalion of the 67th Mechanized Brigade. After leaving that formation, the two units were reorganized into what was initially designated the 108th Mechanized Battalion. The new battalion subsequently joined the 59th Motorized Brigade. The formation's identity is closely connected with the "Da Vinci Wolves" name, a designation also associated with Ukrainian assault formations that use wolf imagery and a commemorative military identity. In its initial form, the battalion was organized as a mechanized unit. Its institutional status changed in March 2025, when the 59th Motorized Brigade was reorganized as an assault brigade within Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces. The 108th Battalion was reformed at the same time as an assault battalion. The unit's documented role is therefore best understood in the context of Ukraine's wartime force restructuring and the growing integration of unmanned systems into combat formations. The available reference material identifies the battalion as part of the 59th Assault Brigade and places it within the Unmanned Systems Forces, but does not provide a detailed public account of its order of battle, equipment inventory, commanders, operational deployments, procurement, or casualty figures. As a military formation rather than a commercial company, the battalion does not have conventional consumer products, commercial revenues, shareholders, or a publicly traded security. Its public-facing identity consists primarily of its official name, insignia and communications presence. The unit's website is listed as https://vovkydavinci.army. Public information currently supports a concise institutional history: separation of the Honor and Ulf units from the 67th Mechanized Brigade's 1st Assault Battalion, creation of the 108th Mechanized Battalion in 2024, association with the 59th Motorized Brigade, and conversion into the 108th Assault Battalion during the brigade's 2025 transition into the Unmanned Systems Forces.

The 108th Separate Assault Battalion "Da Vinci Wolves" was established in 2024 during a period of continuing reorganization among Ukrainian assault and mechanized formations. Its institutional origins lay in the Honor and Ulf units, which had previously served as components of the 1st Assault Battalion of the 67th Mechanized Brigade. Those units departed from the 67th formation and were subsequently combined into a new battalion designated the 108th Mechanized Battalion. After its creation, the 108th Mechanized Battalion joined the 59th Motorized Brigade. This affiliation provided the unit with its initial place in the Ukrainian military order of battle while it operated under a mechanized-battalion designation. Public reference material does not provide a full account of the battalion's early operations, personnel structure, equipment or individual commanders. A significant institutional change occurred in March 2025. The 59th Motorized Brigade was reorganized as an assault formation within Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces. In parallel with that brigade-level change, the 108th Mechanized Battalion was reformed as the 108th Assault Battalion. The change reflects the formal development of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces and the incorporation of unmanned capabilities into broader assault-force structures. The battalion is based in Haisyn, Ukraine, and is identified as part of the 59th Assault Brigade within the Unmanned Systems Forces. Its public identity uses the "Da Vinci Wolves" designation, while the Honor and Ulf units remain important to the formation's documented origins. Beyond these organizational facts, publicly available material is limited. There is no sufficiently documented information in the supplied sources about a detailed campaign record, leadership succession, commercial activity, financial performance, procurement contracts or specific weapons systems. Accordingly, the battalion's known history is primarily an account of formation and reorganization rather than a complete operational biography.
