These armed forces, and the independent Ukrainian homeland for which they fought, were eventually incorporated into the neighboring states of Poland, Soviet Union, Hungary, Romania and Czechoslovakia. Prior to the October Revolution of 1917, independent armed forces in Ukraine existed and had distinct organisation and uniforms in both the First World War and the Second World War. This includes tanks manufactured in Ukraine, leftover Soviet tanks in the Ukrainian Ground Forces today as well as designs imported from other countries and tanks captured in the Russo-Ukrainian War. Tanks of the Ukrainian Army have been used within the military, with their usage and origin after the Cold War and the modern era.
