810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade
Black Sea Fleet marine brigade; heavy documented service from Mariupol to the 2024 border battles.
Broad area of activity
The southern front from the 2022 Mariupol operation; the Kursk border battles of 2024–25 are publicly documented.
Notable history
The Black Sea Fleet's marine brigade, repeatedly committed, mauled and reconstituted — from Mariupol through the southern front to a publicly prominent role against the 2024 Ukrainian incursion in Kursk region.
Strengths
Priority refit as a fleet formation; among the most combat-employed marine units of the war.
Limitations
Each reconstitution cycle dilutes experience — the pattern this atlas documents across elite-labelled formations on both sides.
