Interesting attempt to combine airmobile helicopter-borne infantry and helicopters in one brigade. As in other countries, such arrangement proved unsuccessful, because even better armed armies haven't got enough helicopters for this.
There was only one such brigade the Ukrainian Armed Forces - 79th Airmobile Brigade (Mykolaiv), formed in 2007 from the 79th Airmobile Regiment and the 11th Army Aviation Regiment.
In 2012 Army Aviation Regiment was removed from the brigade. To keep the brigade status, new airmobile battalion was formed.
At the same time the 80th Airmobile Regiment (Lviv) had similar composition, but without Army Aviation Regiment.
