Ukraine’s military procurement platform has delivered more than 181,000 drones, unmanned ground vehicles and electronic warfare systems to front-line units since January, the country’s Minister of Defence announced this week, marking a significant milestone for the digitally-driven supply initiative.
Minister Mykhailo Fedorov disclosed the figures following a meeting with the team behind the e-Points system, which operates through Ukraine’s Brave1 defence technology marketplace. Units earn points by conducting verified combat operations and spend those points on equipment they need in real time. The platform allows combat units to independently select and order battlefield-tested equipment, supplementing rather than replacing centralised state procurement. Total orders placed through the system this year have reached UAH 14 billion.
March produced what officials described as a record month for the programme. Ukrainian forces recorded more than 35,300 Russian troops killed or seriously wounded and struck over 151,200 targets. The figures reflect both the scale of operations and the system’s expanding reach across front-line formations. Nearly 95 percent of drone-operating units have now enrolled.
Six months ago, the Ministry of Defence designated enemy personnel as a priority target category within the e-Points framework and increased the points awarded for each confirmed kill or serious wounding. The adjustment produced measurable improvements in targeted engagement effectiveness, according to Fedorov.
The Ministry recently extended the reward structure to cover army aviation operations, mobile fire groups countering Shahed drones and sniper operations. Fedorov indicated the programme will broaden into additional operational areas in the coming period, though specifics were not disclosed.
Each strike eligible for points undergoes video verification before entry into Ukraine’s DELTA battlefield management system. The process is generating a verified combat dataset that Kyiv is leveraging for partnership development, including AI model training and the construction of AI infrastructure to process combat data at scale.
Fedorov described the system’s broader purpose directly: “We are developing the e-Points system as a foundation for motivating the military and for the mathematics of war.”
The initiative reflects Ukraine’s broader strategy of integrating commercial technology and data-driven incentives into its warfighting model. With nearly 95 percent of drone-operating units enrolled, the programme has become a central pillar of how Ukrainian forces source and field unmanned systems at the tactical level.
