🇺🇦⚡️ Ukraine’s 140th Special Operations Center Bat Company
The 6th Special Operations Task Unit, “Bat Company,” is part of the 1st Special Operations Detachment within Ukraine’s 140th Special Operations Center.
The 140th is an elite Ukrainian SOF formation based in Khmelnytskyi. Its operators are trained for missions such as special reconnaissance, direct action and operations behind enemy lines.
Role in the war: Unlike conventional infantry, SOF units like the 140th are generally used selectively for high-value missions gathering intelligence, striking important targets, reconnaissance and supporting wider Ukrainian operations.
The 140th also became the first Ukrainian unit to receive NATO SOF certification in 2019, highlighting its interoperability and training standards.
