Combat units can now order munitions<\/a> for drones through the DOT-Chain Defence marketplace. Centralised budget funds can be used to purchase munitions for bomber drones, unmanned ground vehicles and other systems, the Defence Procurement Agency<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The changes were introduced following a request from the military. Previously, munitions were supplied through a direct procurement model: units received them in large batches based on approved lists and specifications. The DPA believes that the new approach will speed up deliveries to the front and reduce the burden on field workshops. For manufacturers, it will incentivise quality improvements through competition and establish direct communication with units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOT-Chain Defence was launched in 2025. Defender Media has previously reported on the project, which aimed to shorten the supply chain and give the military a tool for independently selecting the equipment they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and the National Police also gained access to the platform<\/a>. In addition, it will become fully operational for the National Guard, which has been using DOT-Chain Defence as part of a pilot project for the past six months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
