Ukraine’s “points-for-kills” procurement system has delivered 181,000 items to the front this year

Ukraine has delivered more than 181,000 drones, robotic systems, electronic warfare tools and other battlefield equipment to frontline units in 2026 through its “ePoints” incentive system, Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said.

The program allows units to independently order verified combat-tested equipment through the Brave1 Market using points earned for battlefield performance.

In total, Ukrainian units have ordered equipment worth about 14 billion hryvnia through the system this year, Fedorov said.

According to him, the deliveries are additional to standard state supply channels and are already used by roughly 95% of Ukraine’s drone units.

How units earn and spend their ePoints

Units earn “ePoints” based on verified battlefield activity, which are then uploaded into a digital system linked to the Brave1 Market.

Using those points, frontline units can directly select and order approved drones, electronic warfare systems, unmanned ground vehicles and other equipment from a catalogue of combat-tested tools.

Each request is processed through the platform and converted into deliveries alongside standard state supply channels, rather than replacing them.

DELTA integration and video verification

Fedorov said the system is being expanded to include improved video verification from the battlefield, data analytics, and broader scaling of the program.

He also said Ukraine is building out a growing operational database of verified strike data through the DELTA battlefield management system, where each engagement is recorded with video confirmation.

“The system gives units the ability to choose and order the solutions they need in real time,” he said, adding that it is designed to align battlefield demand with rapid procurement.

Russian personnel losses prioritized in the system

Fedorov said Ukrainian forces recorded more than 35,000 killed or heavily wounded Russian personnel in March, along with over 151,000 reported targets struck, according to Ukrainian military data cited by the ministry.

He added that personnel losses in Russian forces were made a priority category within the system six months ago, with increased point values assigned per confirmed casualty.

Program expands to air force, air defense, and sniper units

The program has also recently been expanded to reward air force operations, mobile air defense groups targeting Shahed drones, and sniper units, with further extensions planned.

Officials say the system is also generating a large structured dataset of verified battlefield activity, which is being used to train artificial intelligence models and develop new digital infrastructure for combat analysis.

Fedorov said the ePoints system is evolving into a core element of Ukraine’s military logistics and data-driven warfare approach, linking battlefield results with procurement and technology development.
