Ukrainian frontline units will soon be able to directly exchange combat-earned “e-points” for drones, electronic warfare systems, and other battlefield technologies through the Brave1 Market, Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced on July 10.
The system, known as Army of Drones: Bonus, rewards military units with e-points for confirmed destruction of enemy equipment. These points accumulate in a unit’s digital account and can be redeemed for UAVs, electronic warfare kits (EW), and FPV drones. Units place orders through the Brave1 Market, with delivery expected within several weeks.
“The bonus system will now work more efficiently thanks to digitalization,” Fedorov said. “Soldiers will be able to receive a wider range of high-impact technologies for confirmed kills, and the entire process—from order to delivery—will take just a few weeks.”
How it works:
Units earn e-points for confirmed enemy kills;
Points can be redeemed via the Brave1 Market after authorizing through the DELTA system;
Available tech includes both codified equipment (UAVs, EW systems, loitering munitions) and non-codified FPV drones, allowing units to tailor orders to their tactical needs;
Orders are processed through the Defense Procurement Agency’s DOT-Chain Defense system;
All documents—contracts, invoices, delivery records—are generated digitally. No paperwork. No delays.
“Now, Brave1 will also verify hits and assign points, allowing us not only to track battlefield effectiveness, but to prepare analytics on how each technology performs in real combat,” the Minister noted.
The new ordering model launches in August 2025. Units can use both newly earned combat points from June as well as unused points from previous months.
Fedorov emphasized that the Army of Drones: Bonus system has become a game-changer on the battlefield.
“This program has given our military extra motivation—and provided the government with high-quality data for faster decisions. Thank you to all the soldiers doing extraordinary work every day,” he said.
Since its launch over 10 months ago, more than 400 units—around 95% of all drone-operating formations—have joined the program. In that time, confirmed kills of enemy assets have doubled.c
Every month, Ukrainian drone forces are now eliminating thousands of tanks, UAVs, EW systems, air defense platforms, artillery pieces, and ammunition depots.
“We are constantly analyzing system performance and making real-time updates to cut red tape—so our soldiers can stay focused on defending Ukraine and destroying the enemy,” Fedorov concluded.
Earlier, Ukraine’s defense initiative, Brave1, launched the country’s first large-scale military technology marketplace, aiming to centralize access to advanced products for soldiers and accelerate the adoption of critical battlefield innovations.
