Overview
- The Ministry of Defence reported in late July that Ukrainian units placed more than UAH 5 billion of orders on Brave1 Market in June, the largest single-month total since the ePoints programme began.
- Troops earn ePoints for verified actions such as target strikes, reconnaissance and UGV missions, and can spend those credits on the marketplace to buy drones, ground robots and electronic warfare kit.
- The ministry says average delivery times for items held in stock have fallen to eight days from 10–14 days, speeding frontline resupply of small attack drones and related parts.
- Public reporting differs on catalogue size, with the Defence Ministry citing about 1,000 purchasable items and independent outlets listing roughly 4,000, while manufacturers gain real-time dashboards showing mission counts and unit usage.
- Brave1 is one of several supply channels—including state procurement and civilian crowdfunding—and the marketplace’s growth could further accelerate drone-centric tactics as units buy gear tied directly to battlefield performance.
