ePoints for verified strikes against russian targets
The military earns combat points for every verified strike, which can be redeemed through the Brave1 Market platform for UAVs, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and electronic warfare (EW) systems.
The ePoints system also helps identify the most effective technologies and units, enabling rapid scaling of successful solutions across the military.
As of mid-June, the Defence Forces of Ukraine had hit more than 800,000 enemy targets with drones since the beginning of the year.
