Ukraine's Defense Forces have received 1,001,782 weapons and pieces of equipment through the DOT-Chain Defense platform since the start of 2026.
This was reported by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense on its official website on September 17, 2026.

The system allows military units to select the equipment they need directly, while the state assumes responsibility for financing and administrative matters.
"Units choose what they need themselves. The state takes care of the money and bureaucracy," noted Mstyslav Banik, Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister.
Among the delivered items were 3,608 ground robotic complexes and 15,270 electronic warfare assets, according to the ministry.
The platform currently lists more than 1,200 types of weapons and equipment from 300 Ukrainian manufacturers. The average time from placing an order for an in-stock item to its delivery to troops is roughly eight days, the ministry indicated.
Ground robotic complexes remain a distinct procurement priority, the ministry emphasized. Since the start of the year, these systems have carried out more than 112,000 missions along the front line, including logistics and evacuation tasks.
Ukraine's reliance on ground robots has climbed steadily through 2026. Monthly logistics and evacuation missions rose from 7,511 in January to 16,664 in June and 25,143 in August, a 3.3-fold increase over the year.
By early July, units had received 1,028 unmanned ground vehicles through the same DOT-Chain Defense marketplace, alongside 67 vehicle configurations approved for service in the first half of the year.
