Meet the manifesto of Ukraine’s SOF 73rd Naval Center, a community of warriors who carry out their missions with honour and courage, keeping on the decades of tradition rooted in strength and camaraderie.

4/ Success was driven by sharp planning, smooth teamwork, and the professionalism of every special operator involved.

3/ During an operation and exfil, the squad came under heavy mortar fire. One operator was wounded but received prompt medical attention. His life is not in danger.

2/ The joint SOF squad responded with a coordinated assault. Enemy resistance was crushed, while their documents and weapons were captured.

1/ Operators from the 73rd Naval SOF Center and 144th SOF Center closed in on a fortified position. Enemy troops were offered a chance to surrender. They refused.

One enemy-held position retaken, 7 enemy KIA as a result of a precise joint op by Ukraine’s SOF near the russian border. Watch the bodycam footage and read the thread:

For their memory, our relentless vengeance continues. July 29 was set as the Memorial Day in 2025 by SOF Commander Maj. Gen. Trepak. OTD in 2014, 10 our warriors were killed in an ambush while a mission to find and exfiltrate 🇺🇦 pilots of downed Su-25 jets behind enemy lines.

Their faces won’t fade with time. We won’t let that happen, nor let the purpose for which our brothers and sisters died be forgotten. Remember each one who is no longer with us: their voices, actions, jokes. Be aware of who they were and who we are now, and if we honor their duty.

July 29. Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces Fallen Warriors Memorial Day. They are gone but not vanished. In the shot at dawn, roar of engines, explosion of a shell, and splash of waves, we hear their voices. These voices echo in our memories, urging us to continue their cause.

It was always an honor fighting alongside you. Shoulder to shoulder! We miss you. As people. As friends. As brothers and sisters-in-arms.

I bow my head to the fallen brothers and sisters. I salute every warrior holding the line today. Glory to our fallen Heroes. Glory to the SOF. Glory to Ukraine!». Major General Oleksandr Trepak, Commander of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

The russian empire is doomed. And we will do everything to hasten its collapse. Every attack we deliver is a tribute to those who did not return from the mission. Every successful operation is a continuation of their path.

In the darkest hours, our Heroes became a beacon for all who carry on the fight. We have no right to betray their sacrifice. We must complete the mission for which they gave their most precious, their lives.

We are warriors of a distinct breed. Our brotherhood transcends time and space. We are not merely combat buddies. We are a unified force, forged in honor, trust, and the traditions of our ancestors.

Each name of the fallen carries a story of courage, indomitable spirit, and unwavering faith in Ukraine. They sought no glory. They pressed forward, knowing their decisions and actions shaped the fate of our nation.

«Honorable warriors of the Special Operations Forces, veterans, and families of our fallen brothers and sisters-in-arms,.Today, the Fallen SOF Warriors Memorial Day, we honor the memory of those who gave their lives in the fight for Ukraine’s independence, freedom, and dignity.
