Airmobile Forces Day in Khmelnytskyi

Reference: In 2009, airborne units and special forces units often interacted during joint exercises and operations due to operational necessity, joint resource allocation, and co-location (in particular, the presence of the 8th Special Forces Division in Khmelnytskyi), so their actions were sometimes equated externally. After 2014 and in 2015–2016, the state formalized the Special Forces as a separate branch of the military, which clearly distinguished the tasks and structures of the airborne and special forces.
