🇺🇦 116th Separate Mechanised Brigade — Roaring Tiger Patch

“БІЛЬШЕ ВОРОГІВ — БІЛЬШЕ СЛАВИ” — “More enemies — more glory.”

This olive-green embroidered patch features a snarling tiger, orange claw-mark accents and the designation “116 ОМБр”, identifying the 116th Separate Mechanised Brigade. This particular cat clearly won’t be won over with a saucer of milk. 🐅

📜 Established in December 2022

The brigade marks 13 December 2022 as its founding date, giving it almost four years of service. Its official motto is “Vivere est vincere” — “To live is to win”, distinct from the slogan displayed on this patch. Official brigade history
