Through Brave1 Market, the military has ordered more than 500,000 drones using combat points — Fedorov
More than 400 combat units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces have used the specialized Brave1 Market marketplace to order more than 500,000 drones, as well as other high-tech equipment, using combat points.
The project has proven highly effective in supplying the front lines with modern weapons and reconnaissance equipment.
Last August, the Ministry of Defense launched an updated version of the eBali program, integrated with the Brave1 Market, where military personnel can exchange their accumulated points for drones, ground-based robotic systems, electronic warfare equipment, and other technologies.
This approach has made it possible to fully automate and decentralize the process of supplying weapons to the front lines. As a result, field commanders now have the ability to independently set priorities for their supply needs.
Currently, over 800 Ukrainian-made products are available on the platform, including drones, unmanned ground vehicles, and electronic warfare systems. This wide range of products allows for meeting the diverse needs of military units depending on the specifics of their operations.
According to Fedorov, units can quickly obtain exactly the technologies they need to carry out missions in a specific sector of the front.
The system operates on the following principle: a unit carries out combat missions, earns e-points for doing so, and selects the necessary equipment on Brave1 Market.
The platform’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it evaluates the entire spectrum of military personnel’s combat operations. Points are awarded not only for defeating the enemy but also for reconnaissance, logistics, and evacuation missions.
The logistics chain is designed to be as transparent as possible for the defenders. Units place orders directly with manufacturers, while DOT—Chain Defence handles payment and delivery.
This financial model helps avoid bureaucratic red tape and significantly reduces the time from when an order is placed to when the equipment is actually received at the front lines.
The implementation of the digital marketplace has not only simplified procurement but also provided the government with a unique tool for analyzing the effectiveness of weapons.
The collected statistics help determine priorities for funding the defense-industrial complex.
This was officially announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov.
