Military units order 500,000 UAVs, other equipment using combat points through Brave1 Market

According to Ukrinform, this was announced by Ukraine's Minister of Defense, Mykhailo Fedorov, on Facebook.

"We launched an updated version of the ePoints program last August, integrated with the Brave1 Market marketplace, where military units can exchange ePoints for drones, ground robotic systems, electronic warfare systems, and other technologies. Today, more than 400 combat units are already using the platform, having ordered over 500,000 drones and other equipment with combat points," Fedorov said.

He noted that more than 800 Ukrainian-made products are available on the marketplace in exchange for points, including drones, ground robotic systems, and electronic warfare equipment. Units can quickly obtain the specific solutions they need to carry out combat missions in particular sectors of the front line.

"The formula is extremely simple: a unit completes combat missions, earns ePoints, and selects the technologies it needs on Brave1 Market," Fedorov said.

He explained that ePoints are awarded not only for destroying enemy targets but also for reconnaissance, logistics, and evacuation missions. "The more effectively a unit operates, the more additional capabilities it receives."

"The military chooses, and the state provides. Units order the necessary equipment directly from manufacturers, while payment and rapid delivery are handled by DOT-Chain Defence," Fedorov added.

According to him, this model gives military units greater flexibility on the battlefield while providing the state with real data on the effectiveness of various systems. This information serves as the basis for scaling up the most effective technologies for Ukraine's Defense Forces.

"We are building a system in which military personnel determine their own needs and quickly receive the technologies they require," the minister emphasized.

As Ukrinform reported, according to the Ministry of Defense, 95% of the UAVs procured for the Defense Forces by the Defense Procurement Agency DOT are Ukrainian-made.
