8th Artillery Brigade”Harmash” 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov"
About unit
We are forming a unit that will provide reliable fire support in both defensive and offensive operations.
We face a major challenge: to create a fully combat-ready artillery brigade and scale up the experience Azov has gained in combat since 2014.
We are carefully training our personnel, honing their skills with combat equipment, and developing coordination among soldiers within the unit—step by step.
The brigade is composed of experienced artillerymen who have served at every level—from crew members to command positions.
The insignia of the 8th Artillery Brigade “Garmash” is a lightning bolt whose strike forms an eight-pointed star. A symbol of accuracy, strength, and responsibility for every shot.

Commander
Andriy "Dubok" Kovkrak
Lieutenant ColonelHe began his combat career in 2015 in a mortar battery of the Azov Regiment’s artillery division. He fought in fierce battles in Shyrokyne, Maryinka, Krasnohorivka, and along the Svitlodarsk arc.
At the start of the full-scale invasion, he held the position of chief of staff of the howitzer-artillery division. He was a key participant in the 86-day defense of Mariupol. After his release from captivity, he established the Azov Brigade Artillery Group, which distinguished itself in the Zaporizhzhia sector, in the Serebryansky Forestry, and near Toretsk. His experience commanding units at the brigade level laid the foundation for his appointment as chief of staff of the brigade and, later, as commander of the 8th Artillery Brigade “Garmash.”
He was awarded the Order “For Courage” in full. His other awards include the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, 3rd Class; the “For Fortitude” and “Silver Cross” decorations; the “Military Honor Cross”; and the “For the Defense of Ukraine” commemorative badge, as well as the “Defender of Mariupol” commemorative badge.
