Ukraine Expands Gamified Drone Rewards to Artillery, Reconnaissance Units
- On Nov 03, 2025, Mykhailo Fedorov described the Army of Drones Bonus System, which rewards strikes with points redeemable on the Brave1 Market, saying, `Thanks to the points, we're actually starting to understand more about what's happening on the battlefield.`
- Launched over a year ago, the program motivates drone teams and speeds deployment of effective technologies, while competition for points encourages acquiring drones and electronic warfare systems.
- Verified by video, strikes are scored via the Delta situational awareness system, and points convert to hardware on the Brave1 Market offering over 100 types of drones and autonomous systems.
- Participation scaled rapidly, reaching 400 drone units by September, up from 95 in August, while Ukrainian officials say drone teams killed or wounded 18,000 Russian soldiers and generated the military's dataset on tactics.
- Analysts warn the approach raises sustainability and ethical questions as Ukraine extends the points model to artillery, reconnaissance and logistics units, while international observers including the Pentagon note implications for Kenya and East Africa.
