The 108th Separate Assault Battalion "Da Vinci Wolves" (Ukrainian: 108-й окремий штурмовий батальйон «Вовки Да Вінчі») is a unit of the 59th Assault Brigade as part of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces based in Haisyn.[1] The battalion's 'Honor' and 'Ulf' units were formerly apart of the 1st Assault Battalion of the 67th Mechanized Brigade until they departed from it to form the 108th Mechanized Battalion.[1]

In March 2025, following the 59th Motorized Brigade's reformation into an assault unit in the Unmanned Systems Forces, the battalion was also reformed into an assault battalion, becoming the 108th Assault Battalion.[3]
