Regardless of
"regardless" is often used with 'of' even though it is adverb.
I've probably never seen adverbs coming with preposition. If other exist, what eles do we have?
Is "regardless of" explicable? or it is just as it is?

It's just a fixed phrase. Some dictionaries list it as a preposition rather than an adverb.

It's not obvious to me that "regardless of" is adverb + "of". M-W lists "regardless of" separately as a preposition, and Collins lists it under the adjectival sense of "regardless".
"instead of" is similar, I guess.
