Mykhailo Fedorov: 240,000 drones ordered by the military through Brave1 Market

Through Brave1 Market, the military has already ordered 240,000 drones using combat e-Points.

“In August last year, we launched the Brave1 Market marketplace. It enabled the military to exchange combat e-Points earned through the “Army of Drones Bonus program” for UAVs and other weapons, and this tool is now being actively used,” stated Minister of Defence of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov.

Over six months, units ordered 240,000 drones, as well as ground robotic systems, components, and other equipment using bonus points. More than half of the assets have already been delivered to the front, with over 160,000 drones and other weapons operating in the most challenging sectors. 

“The formula is straightforward: the military eliminates the enemy, the state provides funding, and technologies are rapidly delivered to the front. The average delivery time is 10 days,” the Minister of Defence said.

According to him, further improvements to Brave1 Market are ongoing. Currently, e-Points can be used to procure more than 400 Ukrainian-made products, including drones, electronic warfare (EW) capabilities, ground robotic systems, and components. A “Manufacturer Dashboard” feature has recently been introduced, enabling developers to monitor the battlefield performance of their solutions in real time.
