Since the start of the year, military units have received more than 181,000 units of equipment in exchange for ePoints. The total value of the equipment ordered is 14 billion UAH, Minister of Defence Mykhailo Fedorov has announced.

The equipment includes aerial drones, UGVs, EW systems, and other technic. Around 95% of drone units have joined the ePoints programme, which allows units to earn points for effective actions and exchange them for equipment through the Brave1 marketplace.

Fedorov notes that points have recently begun to be awarded for combat operations by army aviation, mobile fire groups operating against Shaheds, and snipers. The number of points awarded for each enemy combatant killed or seriously wounded has also been increased.

The Ministry of Defence has also stated that it is preparing new measures to strengthen the impact of the ePoints system at the frontline. In particular, the programme will be expanded to new areas in the near future. Defender Media has previously reported that the Ministry of Defence simplified the procurement of innovative products for the military. These will now be procured under a simplified procedure, with Armed Forces of Ukraine units receiving them for combat testing and making decisions on their effectiveness.
